    Transmission: X1120 vs X900/X1100/X1140

    There are two swash plates. One for the pump and the other for the motor. My guess is you are referring to control of the pump swash plate, not the motor swash plate. The parts I illustrated above control the motor swash plate and are not involved with the pump swash plate. I don't see any...

    Transmission: X1120 vs X900/X1100/X1140

    The added plumbing on the X1120 is part of a fundamentally different system for controlling the motor swash plate. The motor control piston system in the X1120 has a larger diameter piston which appears to be actuated by fluid from the external hydraulic line. There are no springs in the system...

    Transmission: X1120 vs X900/X1100/X1140

    The X900 has the same motor control piston as the much heavier X1100 and X1140 so I don't think the difference in the motor control piston between the X1120 and the other three models is due to weight alone. The X1120 has a higher power to weight ration than the X900, X1100 and X1140. My...

    Transmission: X1120 vs X900/X1100/X1140

    I noticed a difference between the transmissions on the X1120 and on the X900, X1100 and X1140. The cylinder at the top rear of the transmission housing on the X1120 is a different shape and has an external pipe connected to the end of it. I first saw the difference at the local dealer, and...

    RTV900x ROPS Removal

    Looks like the ROPS design was changed from front and rear frames with fore/aft members on the 900 models to side frames with crossmembers on the X900 and X1120 models with IRS. My note above is for the X900 and X1120.

    RTV900x ROPS Removal

    The ROPS on our RTV-X1120 is four pieces bolted together: two inverted U shaped sides, an upper front crossmember and an upper rear crossmember. The bolts at the rear of the sides are accessible. The bolts at the front of the sides are accessible from the front after opening the hood. It...

    RTV-X1120 Side Bolster

    What I called "bolsters" in the post above are described as "shoulder guards" in the Kubota Sidekick brochure.

    RTV-X1120 Side Bolster

    We purchased a new RTV-X1120 last week, and it came with a "bolster" on either side. My guess is the bolsters are intended to help keep the occupants inside the ROPS in case of roll-over. The only photos I've seen on a Kubota website of RTV's with the bolsters are photos of the new RTV-XG850...
