Hi Baczoom. Isnt that cube a tonne of water? Do you carry it full? 😱 Our tank holds 132 gallons. It is just a generic brand moulded by a local manufacturer for use in utility vehicles. I have seen several similar designs, and yes it keeps the load nice and low. Cheers Alan

Hi folks with fire season upon us, we have started using our RTV X for the primary reason for which we bought it. Fire management and fire control. Not to say we haven’t been using the RTVX every day for other chores, hauling soil or dumping rocks…It has performed admirably for all of those...

yes my understanding is it is just the 2024 run, all models. The ball joint fixtures haven’t been tensioned correctly at the factory so they chasing up new owners and checking/ retensioning to spec. I drove mine again this morning despite being advised not to . I don’t think it’s a big deal, and...

Hi folks, last week moving some earth I put a good load on the RTVX for the first time. Can’t be sure, but I would guess it was loaded with close to a tonne. Even though I’ve got suspension set for heavy loads it sat well down at the back. I subsequently realised that I probably had too much...

Than Thanks for that information. Sounds like the same issue and probably not a drama if I still use the X1130 until the check is made…

I was called just now by my nearest Kubota dealer telling me Kubota have issued a recall on recent RTV products, and I am not to use my RTV X 1130 until a technician had been able to schedule a trip out to undertake repairs and adjustment. Bloke said the issue was something to do with the...

Thanks for the considered feedback all.

Hi folks! About four months into RTV x1130 ownership and starting to feel like we’re really making use of this incredible machine! But I’ve got two questions for more experienced owners. First, given that many users use their RTVs over relatively short distances and may switch them on and...

I am working in a project to try and build a flow diversion barrier to direct runoff from my major property access track. Since putting in some new firebreaks in that area I’ve created problems of runoff and erosion. I initially started earthworks using tractor and backhoe, but am now filling in...

Update from me and our RTVX So via the services of a freight forwarding company I received a seizmik front rack, folding windshield, seat covers and mirrors all purchased from Farm and Trail. This all safely made it around the world from the east coast to our outback homestead. Even with...

Hi ItBMine To be honest I haven’t had time to use the 1130 much… Just so busy around the property! We have only had two or three drives in it and haven’t had time to use it for work. First impressions were very favourable. I’m currently fitting a folding windshield and hood rack and mirrors...

I have ordered two accessories for our RTVX. They are now on en route to us here in Australia. 1 a versa-fold windshield 2 a hood carry-rack Also mirrors and seat covers They have come from Trail and Farm. Will update when they arrive Alan

Hi everybody. Hope all and their families are well. So we’re about three weeks into Kubota ownership and have really only used it two or three times. It’s still on its first tank of fuel. But we love it! Last night my wife and our boy climbed into the RTVX and went for a cross country spin...

Yep, it’s when you first get your machine you have the energy and enthusiasm to get set up properly… So trying to sort it out now. I carry rudimentary tool kits in all our vehicles for simple trail side repairs, and need to do the same with the RTVX. Incidentally I am adding two principle...

Smiling green. Thanks for your considered response to my post. I can assure you I’m having no second thoughts on the RTVX. It was selected over other side by side brands with one mission. To carry 550 kg ( 1000 + lbs) in the bed and haul it around our property tracks including the very...
