    Lesson Learned 50 hr service

    Thanks Dennis. I have never regreted using the good stuff in lubrication. I use this little machine a lot on our cattle farm. So far I am very pleased with it once I learned how the hydrstat works and after I added the manual throttle and winch. Great little work horse. Runs every day doing...

    Lesson Learned 50 hr service

    Just did the 50 hr service on my RTV X900. I elected to change both engine and HST oil. I didn't realize how much oil the HST took. Between the oil in the Hst under the bed and the resovoir under the seat it took almost 4 gallons at 22$ a gallon. Should have just changed the filters and added...

    Just did the 50hr service. I ended up changing not only the tranny filters but also the hst oil. Also did the engine oil and filter. I filled the hst to the full mark on the dip stick under the bed. Started the RTV. And noticed that it did not pull correct. Called dealer and he told me to check...

    Just did the 50 hr service. I ended up changing the hydrstat oil and both filters along with the engine oil and filter. Kinda got a surprise when I had to add oil to the hydraulic tank under the seat.

    Thanks for the advice and you are correct. Compared to where you are we don't get as cold. Have a blessed day.

    Just a update. Got the winch and hand throttle installed. Both are great options. Using the hand throttle to pull hills with is a great help.I also use it on these cold Tennessee morning to warm the machine up while I am doing something else. So far I really liked the machine. I have about 25...

    Thanks: I will most definitely look at this. Also for everyone considering ordering a hand throttle kit, they are on backorder from Kubota. Could not find one from a dealer anywhere.

    Does the 50 hr service call for hydraulic oil change or.just the filters?

    Never mind the thanks button... I figured it out?? Also just FYI. I have ordered a hand throttle kit. I was told if I used it to keep the RPMs up and control my speed with the foot pedal it would hold speed better. I love the machine but it seems the hydrstat kills the speed. Any one else doing...

    Hey folks thanks for all the help and suggestions. I ended up running a #6 cable fused at 50 amps from my battery to a fuse block which I mounted under the hood.I then bought a wireless remote and reversing solonoid. Seems to work well so far. Also now I have several fused circuit s for lights...

    Great! That makes a lot of sense. Is there a Kubota part number for the kit? Thanks

    I just bought it new last week. I plan on running a #4 cable and fusing it at 50 amps to a secondary fuse block which will be mounted under the hood. From there I should be able to power any accessories.

    Thanks for the encouragement.. It is a wonderful machine in all other aspects. I am sure it will loosen up some. If not it still is a great machine.

    I bought it new last week. I'm not sure there is anything wrong it is just not what I expected very slow. I was warned about the hydrstat being slow but I figured it would do better than it does. It will almost stall out if you keep the pedal on the floor. Like I said I know about keeping the...
