    Steep Grades?

    I’ve made my decision and plan to acquire a new RTV X1100C. I had high hopes for the RTV-XG850 Sidekick but it’s lacking in many areas and is the same as other UTV offerings with no real advantage over the competition...

    Next Generation RTV - What would your like to see?

    I’ve been shopping for a UTV for a few years now and have gotten close to pulling the trigger on one but can’t help feeling that I would be compromising on my needs and requirements if I purchased one of the current utility vehicle offerings.

    ULSD or Heating Oil?

    I'm about to seal the deal on a new Kubota RTV X1100C and had a question on the grade of diesel fuel needed. I understand the importance of using ULSD on vehicles with modern exhaust emissions systems (DPF, SCR). The owner's manual on my Mercedes BlueTec SUV states that damage to the particulate...

    Buy now or wait?

    I'm looking to purchase a new RTV X1100C but wondering if there is any advantage in waiting for the 2016 model year to arrive? As I understand the RTV line went through a refresh recently so I'm not expecting any significant upgrades to the upcoming new model year. I'm purchasing the RTV for...

    Is the RTV the right UTV for me?

    I was about to pull the trigger on a new 2015 RTV X1100C but after reading some of the experiences from owners, I’m having second thoughts. In particular, I have concerns relating to the ability of the RTV to handle very steep inclines. There are reported incidences of the machine “bogging” down...
