    Turbo for X900?

    So one other note from me on this. Hydrostatic and Diesel works differently than a transmission and gas. You want to get up a hill with gas you mash the pedal. If you do this seperation, if you want to get up the hill you go full throttle but as you slow down you LET OFF the floor pedal...

    Turbo for X900?

    http://www.messicks.com/part/k7561-99450/engine-hand-throttle-kit-rtv900 This is for the 900 but the make an x900 version as well. Again, untested by me but a number of people here swear by it. Totally change the machine. I have a Hydrostatic tractor and the throttle is sepererate...

    Turbo for X900?

    We are new to the RTV and are in severe hills. On friday we get our throttle seperation kit, wonder if that wouldn't be a good place to start before a 2K investment (without labor).

    Routing wires for lightbar

    OK, Thanks everyone. So there is no way (without drilling) to run the wires in the ROPS, which I kinda figured. Running the wires up the back is a very interesting idea. Our issue is we are so heavily treed here that any dangling wire becomes a target. On my tractor the only way to protect...

    Routing wires for lightbar

    So bringing this issue back up to the top. Spent the day going over the RTV and this website, and I am confused. I have a base model RTVx900. 2014 version. My question to you all is that it looks like some of the RTV's have a wiring harness that runs up the ROPS and provides power for the...

    Introductions and new to me RTV-x900

    Yeah, we were pretty surprised at the deal. It was part of a fleet return, we bought it from the dealer. Because it was a lease, the dealership handled all the maintenance so we have pretty much the full maintenance history for the machine. Dealer just wanted them off the lot. The lack of the...

    Need a Hydraulic Dump system for my RTVX-900

    Oh heck yeah. I have had no interest in mucking with the Hydraulics (I can, my tractor is a fully Hydraulic and I am getting much more comfortable running hoses and dealing with valve systems). That said Is the stroke the same as the Hydraulic ram? Looks like the lift weight is about the...

    Routing wires for lightbar

    OK, it wasn't my last. Picked up a lightbar for the front and back. As lights appear to be an accessory for the Kubota, can anyone tell me if there is prewire in the ROPS, or how they wired up the rops? I know how I do it on my tractor but if I can run inside without drilling.... Secondly...

    And finally for tonight - Tires for the X900

    So my machine came with the stock tires (HDWS). On the machine they are pretty new and in good shape (must have been recently replaced). But we live in mud. On my quad I have Kenda Executioners and they work well, so I just bought another set with rims for the Kubota. Just making sure what...

    Has anyone split the throttle on their RTV?

    I spoke with the person we bought the RTV from (flat lander) and we ilve in a very hilly part of the PNW. He suggested we get the Hand Throttle kit. Anyone have it and can offer judgement before I put down $100?

    Adding the tilt steering wheel to the X900

    So the one thing missing from my machine is the tilt steering wheel. The wife and I are two different sizes and it would be nice to adjust the wheel. It looks like it is just a handle that you pull on, but maybe it is more complicated than that. Anyone have a source for totalled RTV's? I...

    Need a Hydraulic Dump system for my RTVX-900

    So the used machine I got was the very basic used machine. No Hydraulic dump bed, no tilt steering wheel lever, not glove box cover. The wife is insistent on having the dump bed feature. I called Messick, $1000. Seems a bit steep but welcome to Kubota. Wondering if there is a less...

    Introductions and new to me RTV-x900

    So I picked up a 2014 1600 hour RTVx900 for 6300 from a flower farm in So Cal and shipped it to our other house outside of Portland OR. No one around me has one, and I value these forums so hoping to find guidance and help from everyone. I think what I will do is ask my questions...
