Hi everyone! Please don't give me too much heat for not using the search function before posting.....anyway I'm looking at a rtv 500. My question is why is a hard cab offered for the 400 but not the 500? If this has already been discussed a link to that thread would be awesome.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum!

Sorry, can't answer that one. Every 500 I've driven was open-cab.

I don't recall there being a thread on the subject of a 400/500 cab.

I drive a 900 but hoping someone with a 400/500 will chime in.

Thanks, I also emailed Kubota to find out their exact reasoning. The salesman at the dealer said he wasn't sure but thought it had to do with exhaust fumes entering the cab. Idk. Seems like it would be fine, there are companies out there who make a cab enclosure for the 500. If I hear back from Kubota I will post their email here.

Dear Mr. Brown,

Thank you for your email to Kubota. Unfortunately, we determined that there is a potential for carbon moxoxide accumulation in the cab of the RTV500 when the engine is at idle and the unit is at a standstill.

Sincerely,

There you have it. I have seen many rtv500's for sale with cabs. will probably purchase a used one anyway.
