Yes. When I added a plow to my 09 1140, I got the heavy duty springs and put them on the standard struts. The front end did go up at least an inch or two.

I have CB's on my tractors, RTV and wife's electric golf cart. There's also a station in the house and in the shop. With cell phones, we don't use them as much as we used to, but they can be handy to use when working on a project on the property with multiple people and pieces of equipment...

https://www.messicks.com/part/v4207/hydraulic-angle-kit-for-v4208-blade-rtv900-11 Here is the OEM angling kit - if you call Messicks, they may be able to give you exact specs on the cylinders.

The plow was equipped with the OEM angle cylinders from Curtis... I did not add them.

I thought I'd give a five year update. The RTV now has about 1495 hrs on it. The hydraulic setup as outlined above has worked flawlessly - no changes or repairs needed. The only fixing that has needed to be done is on the plow itself - some welds needed to be redone. Future changes might...

Yes, please check with your insurance co. I had intentions of installing a wood stove in my shop this winter (concrete floor and block walls) but my insurance broker said solid fuel burning appliances are not permitted in a non-residence on my policy and they didn't have any insurance carriers...

FYI, the RTV 1140 was not introduced until 2009, so your machine is no more than 10 years old at this time.

Remember that the 1140 is a longer machine than the 900 and 1100. It is probably a different kit only because it needs a longer cable. Your dealer would be able to give you the exact part number.

I think there would be some interest if Kubota offered their exact diesel lineup but with the option of a Kubota gasoline engine. Kubota's gas engines, from what I understand, use the same block as the diesel counterpart. This way, you could still have all of the benefits of a hydro trans...

I have the OEM Kubota plow made by Curtis that was popular on (and the only option for a while) the first generation diesel RTV's. It appears that this plow is still available with the X-series RTV's as the lowest cost option. We bought ours used in 2015 for about $700 to put on our 2009 RTV...

Sorry, I've been away for the forum for a little while. Not sure exactly were you are in OH, but I saw this: https://cleveland.craigslist.org/snw/d/kubota-cab-kit-rtv-1140-v4461/6380882644.html BRAND NEW OEM Curtis (For Kubota) Metal roof, glass windshield, and door frames for RTV1140. $700...

Remember that the 1140 has the larger 24.5 hp D1105 engine, while the 900 has the 21.6 hp D902 engine.

Huh. Interesting that they wouldn't use a Kubota gas engine. I've never had one, but my understanding is that they are based on the same block as their diesel counterparts and are/were very reliable.

That is a really great deal! Congrats. We love ours. Definitely the most versatile machine in the RTV series.

Kubota now offers different OEM options for the current X series units. The original Curtis plow, offered on the 900/1100/1140 RTV's, is still available on the new X- series models, but there are now Kubota OEM hydraulic plow options. $$$.

Very nice work! A couple of years ago, I pulled up my floormat and did some PM. No holes to patch, but this work has held up well. http://www.nettractortalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16568

IIRC, when we were looking in 2013, a new RTV 1140 CPX worksite was $15k list. The camo model is always a few hundred more. We bought our 2009 1140 worksite with 712 hours for $9900 in January 2014 from our Kubota dealer. We added the roof, cab, and Line-x on the bumper and entire bed, and...

Highly recommend the 1140. We have the original, non X series version that we bought used. The new X1140 looks to have some nice improvements (redesigned ROPS and better seats). Our 1140 goes everywhere our old Mule 2510 went, which was the same size as an RTV900. There is a nice Curtis hard...

Get the 1140. Its versatility is great. We love ours, and the new X1140 looks to be even better. IF not worn out, keep your ATV, having two machines is handy and they are each good at different things.

From time to time, I like to see what is out there and how many hours are on the units for sale. Just came across this 2010 RTV900 with 7800+ hrs! Holy cow! http://www.auctiontime.com/OnlineAuctions/Details.aspx?ohid=17095323&lp=TH I think that's that highest I've seen. The unit doesn't...
