This looks like an interesting forum, hopefully there are some RTV 520 owners here who can offer their experience.
I just purchased a 520 from an individual who was selling out and moving, the machine is 6 months old and had 10 hours on the clock when I bought it. I'm amazed with how slow the thing is, but its purpose is to do work anyway. What I'm concerned about is the noise in the front gearbox. With 4wd engaged the thing almost has a grinding sound when under a positive or negative load - meaning that driving on perfectly flat ground it is quiet, but uphill it is loud and downhill even louder. Is this a normal occurrence for these?
There is supposedly another 1.5 years left on the warranty, but it's a long drive to take it in to where it originally came from to have it checked.
Thanks for any thoughts/info.
