    Hand Throttle Install on x900

    Gonna have to try that. Sounds like a small airplane throttle.

    Hand Throttle Install on x900

    I wish my machine had a tack. There might be some more headroom, hard to tell. I put my throttle on tight (no slack) so it pulls the max...

    Hand Throttle Install on x900

    $99 is a lot for a cable and a couple of clamps. But it dramatically changes the machine. I am going up steep hills in high gear. I have to back off a bit on the treddle (the go pedal) as I get to the top to keep from lugging but having the engine wrapped up before climbing is a big plus...

    And finally for tonight - Tires for the X900

    Meant to write 2500. It’s a pig for sure. Nothing delicate about the rtv I am not sure if it’s exact weight.

    Hand Throttle Install on x900

    RTV 900 headlights

    I don't know about your machine in particular but LED bulbs have lots of pros and cons. Big con is directionality. A well designed headlight housing is designed for a specific bulb and filament direction. if the LED bulb is not designed that way you can actually loose luminence. So these...

    And finally for tonight - Tires for the X900

    Got the tires installed. Spec at 8lbs max, going to run them at 4. They work great but had to warn the wife not to run heavy loads on them. But boy this machine will now climb up anything I drive it toward. It is also now rutting the heck out of the trails. So much for driving a 1500lb...

    Underhung Canopy Lightbar results

    Ordered a couple of lightbars off of ebay. Thought I would post the results and the one warning I have. Not much to say, I am going to re-run the wires into the ROPS when I get some more protective tubing (I have blue, the wife freaked and now I need to go buy black). My warning is on my...

    Hand Throttle Install on x900

    Finally, had to call the wife out to hook the throttle up. Made sense for me to hold the pin in place and she, from the other side, slipped the collar / riser on, then the tab from the cable, then the washer and pin. Also the cable clamp they provide is nearly impossible to put on without...

    Hand Throttle Install on x900

    (I can't figure out how to post photos inline so I am just doing seperate notes) Now the next issue is one I am frustrated by. Kubota over welded the throttle holder a little heavy and it would not fit in the indent on the tractor. Maybe the indent is not centered (another flaw) so I ended...

    Hand Throttle Install on x900

    So this weekend my Hand Throttle kit arrived from Messick. As noted, a reasonable straight install except for a few things. Thought I would post the issues I came up with. BTW, this is a great purchase. You can use your foot peddle as normal, but if you are plowing, working hills, or just...

    XG-850 Sidekick Now On Kubota Website

    What is interesting to me is that it appears to do as much / more than my 900. Hauling and dumping appear to be higher, as well as the top speed. Am I missing something? About the only thing that scares me is doing 40 on those kubota seats.

    XG-850 Sidekick Now On Kubota Website

    They have the brochures at my local dealer. He said they are still not sure of arrival and he says he has sold them all. Won't give me hard numbers but sounds like people really want this version.

    Could someone provide me a measurement of your dump cylinder

    So right off the bat I have found this cylinder. http://www.surpluscenter.com/Hydraulics/Hydraulic-Cylinders/Double-Acting-Hydraulic-Cylinders/1-5x12x-75-DA-Hydraulic-Cylinder-9-4410-12.axd

    Could someone provide me a measurement of your dump cylinder

    As I said, I own a fully hydraulic tractor and am familiar with the systems, but no expert. So thank you Alasanassasin. It would also help if you had the diameter of the cylinder but I am going ot take an educated guess and say it is 1.25" That all said then, when you run the hydraulic...

    Could someone provide me a measurement of your dump cylinder

    So before I spend money on this kit from Kubota, wanted to look and see if I can do an "upgraded" version of the dump bed. Upgraded means using an electric solenoid instead of the manual. Was wondering if anyone would have the time to provide me 4 measurements Cylinder length with or without...

    Turbo for X900?

    Yeah, thats the rub. Gotta find a good Kubota Mechanic in my hood and none seem that strong. The dealers say they sell a ton of the RTV's but I have to say I never see one in our area.

    Turbo for X900?

    K7591-99450 $99 from Messick plus $18.66 for shipping. Could have got it at the local dealer for the same price I found out later. Not bagging on Messick, they have great prices. But my local dealer whom I do not really like is feeling the competition and lowering their prices.
