Absolutely Love My New Kubota RTV X900

You might also do some research on a "hi rise air filter" system. It's purpose is to relocate the air filter higher to keep it out of the heavy dust. Much better for the engine and you don't need to change the filter as often. Kubota sells a retro kit and some folks here have made their own version. Just do a 'search' here on the Forum and you will find all sorts of related posts.

Looks nice! Did you turn the suspension up any?
That's a great looking machine alright, tires give that extra height. Well done.

collieLooks like a tank!
Does cranking up the suspension affect the ride quality at all?

Ohio Pawpaw Grower: I would assume that it stiffens the ride a little, but it sure hasnt been all that noticeable to me. After owning 3 different Rangers and a Mule over the last 15 years, i am in absolute love with this machine. It is NOT by any means designed to be a speedy trail riding machine, but it is the most bad ass workhorse that i have ever seen! I cannot wait until i get it setup the way that i want it.
Regarding front suspension: When I ordered my X900 I requested the heavy duty front suspension option knowing that I would be adding a plow. I later received a call from the dealership saying that the X series are made with the heavy duty springs. I received the machine as stock. I later questioned the suspension and decided to order the HD springs from EBay. I then went to put them on and found that the dealership was correct. The HD springs I purchased are exactly like the springs on the machine! I agree with Carpy's comment about the workhorse the the RTV's are. After having a Ranger for a couple of years, I can not say enough about how much I love the RTV.

BiffNH: I am not doubting your experience with the heavy duty front suspension, but I can tell you that my dealer recommended almost immediately for me to upgrade to the heavy duty front suspension on my 2016 X-900. I looked up the accessory information in the Kubota X series brochure and it lists the heavy duty front suspension as an accessory that can be added. Im thinking that some of the X-series with cabs come with the heavy duty suspension, but not all X-series. Im 99% sure my X-900 does not have the heavy duty suspension.

There really seems to be some confusion regarding this. Perhaps most of the confusion is with my dealer! When I "built" my machine I included the $99 upgrade to the front suspension, but the dealer called and said that the newer X900 machines come with the same heavy duty front suspension that the X1100 series comes with and I didn't need the upgrade. I took his word for it. Then when I put the Boss V-Plow on I questioned the decision and ordered the heavy duty springs I had originally asked to be put on. Turns out the springs I ordered are the same as the ones on it! Now I am really confused!!
Found an old thread related to the markings on the struts. Be advised this is from 10 years ago so not sure if the markings are now the same.

"The old ones have a white marker on the springs and the new have a red marker."

Got to the bottom of it! My machine did come with the heavy duty springs - the literature at the time listed this as a $99 upgrade, but the literature was behind the times. Since then they added a heavier duty front end package that is a full strut package at $277. This was not available to me at the time I ordered my machine. I've got my struts cranked all the way up and they are doing fine, so I will just leave it like this.
Does anyone know where to find the high rise intake for the RTV x1120?
Looking at the x1120 accessory list from Kubota, it doesn't appear they make one.

Is it even needed since they moved the air filter to under the hood?

Bczoom: that's what i was thinking, so i checked the x1120 brochure. It says, the new x1120 has better breath ability with the air filter "high and under the hood". Im guessing your assumption is correct. I Googled "x1120 high rise intake" and checked EBay and came up with nothing. I would have to say that as of right now, there is no such kit available.
