If you're going to be taking your RTV on 3-5 mile trips and haven't ruled out gas powered machines, I would add the Kubota RTV-XG850 to your list. 48 hp vs. 28 hp for the diesels; CVT vs. hydrostatic. ~40 mph vs. 28 mph. Towing and payload numbers either the same or better vs. the diesels...

Same with mine on m RTV-XG850 Sidekick. It's a Nilight 42" light bar and I used Nilights roll bar mounting tabs under the roof. Solid as a rock. OP, how tall are you? I love mine except for: The light gets in my way when riding in the woods and I want to look above the horizon and...

Here's mine:

I found some paperwork, but not a copy of the contract I got from the dealer. This paperwork says my model # is: "RTVXG850RLA21". Anybody see the disconnect? Looking at the list above, I'm going to go with RTVXG850WC (Worksite Camo). The parts list shows camo'd body parts and the Worksite...

Yea, sounds like a really, really dumb question. RTV nameplate says "RTV-XG850". Seems simple enough. Apparently not to Messicks, here's their list of XG850 models: RTV-XG850CAGR RTV-XG850CASB...

The OM says to remove the skid plate in their oil change procedure (page 67). There's a perfectly sized hole right under the oil drain plug, easy to get to, no need to remove the skid plate. Oil drains fine, easy two minute job (once it's up on the rack). Removing it does nothing to perform...

"What's the BB hiding?" = what is the orange tractor behind the BB (=under the shed = in front of the truck).

That Kubota looks disgustingly clean!!! Both of them! What's the BB hiding?

It's particularly maddening with wheels.

For my 2006 Worksite model, part number cross over says it's 7/16-20 bolt: https://ku-part.com/kubota/bolt/k321117120/

I also found out that the Kubota-specific switches are $95 - each! Lesson Learned: Do NOT buy the Switch Panel "Kit" (a $104 plastic box), nor the Accessory Wiring Harness (for Kubota accessories only) or the ROPS Wiring Harness (ditto). I would have been far better off buying an actual...

Truthfully, it doesn't sound like it's gonna be a problem: I'm not buying a $400 LED light bar just to get a switch. How can something fail - if it never exists???????? :(

So there is three options, from best to worst: - The Switch Panel Kit does include the switches and they just made a mistake. We already know this isn't true. - The Switch Panel Kit does not include the switches, but you can order them separately ($$$). - The switches are only available when...

RTVX-900 has the same exact Switch Panel Kit, Accessory Wiring Harness and ROPS Wiring Harness, including using the same exact part numbers, in their RTVX-900 Accessories Brochure. So still a dead end. ETA: Just talked to the dealer; he said the switches are not included. He did not know the...

I've sent follow-up e-mails to both Messicks and the local dealer's parts guy. I'm also in contact with a 3rd dealer out of KY; he's stumped as well, but I don't think he's a parts guy. We have any Kubota dealers on here? Thanks,

E-mailed Messick's Sunday PM; they answered Monday AM asking for my RTV serial number. I sent it within an hour plus the pic above. Since then: Silence. Called my local dealer Monday AM; parts guy gave me an e-mail so I could send him the same pic and question; which I sent out about 5...

As of right now, I've stumped two Kubota dealers (Messicks and the local dealer). I've sent an e-mail to Kubota corporate, but I'm not holding my breath. The Switch Panel Kit is no longer offered as option on the Kubota RTV-XG850 build page. The part number for the Kit has also changed from...

When I bought brand new RTV-XG850 last May, I ordered it the Switch Panel (77700-V0880), Accessory Wiring Harness (77700-V0881) and ROPS Wiring Harness (77700-V0882), The Switch Panel kit came with no (zero) switches. I looked on the Messicks.com site for the above part numbers to find the...

My 2006 had the bolts, what a PITA. My new RTV-XG850 has the studs, far mo' bettah!

Good diesel forums: Are there any left? TheDieselGarage, TheDieselStop, PowerstrokeNation - all bought and forked up by Vertical Scope; the same people who killed Pirate4x4. Where the good diesel truck sites now?
