Glad to hear you got this fixed. I’m having trouble with my 06 rtv 900. It’s in the shop now squch plates replaced but only help a little. Now they telling me it needs a new hydraulic charge pump which is 29 hours labor $3300.00 cost. So I know the feeling.

Aurthuritis thanks for the heads up on changing the oil....I'll try to stay ahead of my scheduling and maybe the RTV life will be a little more friendlier to me.

Yes I bought this 06 RTV for $400. Actually it's been a very good machine the problem with the transmission was my fault due to water damage. I should have changed the oil directly after the Great Flood of S/E Louisiana 2016

Hopefully everything works out and yes if things start to go bad with the new tranny it will be at there front door first thing in the morning. I have to stay positive...no more money!

Well its been all winter for the most part but I finally have my Kubota buggy back home. When it's all said and done, I have a used tranny housing with all new parts inside. Here are some of the things that caused this repair to take so long. 1) Small shop with only a few mechanics on...

Well. It’s still in the shop. Replacing all tranny parts and hydraulic pump. They working with me on parts from used machines and working with me on hours being charged. Why is it beating them up so much... I don’t know. Still in shop. Updates coming with full what the hell happened and what’s...

For the most part I have to take there word on what is broken. They were supposed to try new swash plates but according to them that didn’t help. Anyway I should hear something soon saying it’s repaired and ready

It’s been a long time but I finally have good news. After talking with the Mechanic ( in which I found out that I know him and his parents really good) he said it’s a tranny problem and would cost $5000 to replace all. After I explain to him how long I been waiting he agreed to look into the...

I’ll take a ride over to the shop this week

I agree with you. It’s been a week now and still hadn’t heard anything towards the progress. Never again will I bring anything to this place. Monday I will give them a call

I will bring up the recall issue. And yes about the diagnosis and not part swapping. Thanks for all the help guys. Keep them coming because trust me I am using everything you say Thanks Kurt

I heard back from Kubota dealer today but the problem is still unknown. It started out 4 weeks ago that the mechanics will be checking the hydraulic pressure and trouble shooting for a bad pump or PSV. Today they will be ordering new copper plates somewhere to the rear(because there grooved...

Yes they are kubota dealer. Only one in the area so they kind of backed up

I had a long talk with the machanic and he assured me he will do his best to look for a easy repair and not just say “well looks like you need a new tranny”. He did say a new tranny is only $6000 ��. As of now I hadn’t heard anything from them so guess I’ll give em a call.

Thanks Ohio Pawpaw, I will must certainly do that....that is a very good idea..hit the mechanics with fresh donuts first thing in the morning should help matters. Kurt
