    How to tell what model RTV is, worksite, turf...

    Replacement tire and wheel combo from a Kubota dealer may be less expensive then new tires alone, if the tire and wheel combo are purchased as "whole goods", not replacement parts.

    Sidekick Incentives

    Put a Kubota RTV X series and a Cub Cadet Challenger and you might notice some differences besides standard features. The local Kubota dealer also sells Cub Cadets. After a quick look at the Cub Cadet Challengers we bought a Kubota RTV X-1120.

    Frozen parking brake handle

    Or I may just put a plastic bag over the handle when the RTV is left out in the rain.

    Frozen parking brake handle

    The water was inside the plastic hand grip. I'm considering drilling a small drain hole. Since it's a plastic handle I'm reluctant to use any type of hydrocarbon on it.

    Frozen parking brake handle

    Our RTV X-1120 was outside during heavy rain several days ago. Yesterday the temperature was in the low '20s. When I went to use the RTV the button on the parking brake handle didn't want to push in to release the parking brake, but with some jiggling it finally went in. Then when I tried to set...

    Going green after 4 years with x900

    Perhaps the difference in hill climbing ability was as much or more due to 54 hp vs 22 hp than the differences in transmissions.

    2014 RTV 1140 Transmission not working

    the next day it wouldn't go into LOW, HIGH or REVERSE......Leaving me only Medium to operate in Sounds like a 3 range transmission which would be an 1140, not an X1140.

    hst hesitating

    I'm away from my WSM for a few days. I'll have a look at the hydraulic flow diagrams when I get back. I remember that the gear pump supplies fluid for the swash pump control circuit.

    hst hesitating

    There are two hydraulic pumps and circuts in the RTV-X HST. One is the swash plate pump which pumps the fluid which drives the swash plate motor which drives the wheels. The other is a gear pump which provides pressure to control the swash plate of the swash plate pump. Which one does "charge...

    Power Steering Whine?

    The power steering uses a separate pump and fluid from the HST transmission. From the RTV-X900, RTV-X1120 Workshop Manual, page 6-M3: An oil tank dedicated for power steering is located below the operator's seat. That wording is incorrect for units with the hydraulic lift cylinder as the same...

    How slow you can go is sometimes more important than how fast you can go

    Sometimes the ability to go slow and creep along is what matters, not top speed. However when looking for information about UTVs on the internet it is easy to get the impression that top speed is the single most important spec. We've had our RTV X1120 for a bit over a month and it's gone 23.7...

    Transmission: X1120 vs X900/X1100/X1140

    Kubota tractor hydrostatic transmissions have a much simpler control system than the RTV hydrostatic transmissions. The tractor hydrostatic transmissions have a fixed displacement motor, a variable displacement pump, and the pump swashplate which , determines pump displacement is directly linked...

    Transmission: X1120 vs X900/X1100/X1140

    My copy of the Worshop Manual (WSM) for the X900 and X1120 arrived, and I went through the section on transmission operation including the fluid flow diagrams. The only difference in the layout or operation of the transmissions, other than some pressures, is "Control Piston 2" which is inside...

    Transmission: X1120 vs X900/X1100/X1140

    Which springs and which "servo control" are you talking about? Are the springs external or internal? I'm talking about springs and the control for the motor swash plate which are inside the rear piston housing, not the overall servo control system.

    Transmission: X1120 vs X900/X1100/X1140

    The (non-X) 900/1100/1140 motor swash plate control also used two springs, though in a different housing.
