    Here's a "Talk About Anything" - II

    While I have built a special roll-around-dolly type of storage rack for my PHD….. which takes up floor space …but I fortunately have available…. Many folks simply hang their PHD from a tree using a chain or come-along. That could be anywhere in the yard and not be in the way. A come along...

    Out with the old - In with the new tires that is

    You’ll be glad you got your new tires in a timely fashion. Chinese and other Asian mfr’s are already shutting down production because orders have been cancelled due to tarriffs. Home-grown tires will jump in price not onlybecause of the shortage but because the new price will be...

    oil capacity

    The owner’s manual of my RTV 900X specifies how much oil is req’d with an oil filter… and if I put that much in it…it would definitely be overfilled. I was suspicious so called the dealer to confirm the oil dipstick PN…and the one I have is correct. I went to the dealer and measured the length...

    Here's a "Talk About Anything" - II

    I rented a one-man PHD from Home Depot one day to plant 10 small shrubs. I got One Hole dug about 10” deep before I had to stop in order to prevent broken wrists and torn rotator-cuffs. When one of those hits a rock, root, or clay…. it will try to Jerk your Hands Off the ends of what’s left...

    Any chance you could re-visit your Amazon link… click on Orders / Returns…. and find the link to the part which worked for you….so the rest of us X900 owners can find it if our starters die..? Thx.

    So what’s the deal with the RTV recall?

    I bought my RTV X900 with very low hours/miles from it’s second owner… so Kubota would not notify me about a recall. (First owner put <50 hrs on it and decided it was the wrong model RTV for his company’s purposes, second owner <400 hrs developed a health issue and decided against buying the...

    RTV-X900G indicator lights short or open circuit

    New source for RTV X1100C air filter

    I’ve faced similar issues with other vehicles also. My truck cabin filter was crazy expensive…. the genuine article priced at $45…. I took it to O’Reillys and the cashier there opened the computer and explored for me….The computer showed each brand/model exact measurements….. We discovered...

    I once had a Mercury 9.9 hp outboard that quit running because of no spark. The Mercury dealer wanted the First-Born for the “Thunderbolt” ignition system replacement parts and they were also backordered. I decided to tear into it and found beneath the flywheel a set of what appeared to be...

    2006 Rtv 900 hst issues

    First thing to consider… that the unit is using only Genuine Kubota UDT or SUDT2 hydraulic fluids. ANY OTHER fluid is unreliable and causes slipping and low power issues. The WSM describes the process of repairing and rebuilding the HST. (I don’t have the need or courage to try but others...
