    X900 Work Light Install

    I have a I have always done a amperage draw test on the LED lighting I have installed and have found most lighting to draw below rated wattage specs. At 430w this light should have drawn roughly 35a which sounds far too much current. At 7a, this can be easily switched with a 10a switch without...

    Under seat insulation

    I sealed up the under seat access panel with duct tape and sealed as much of the interior plastic around the area to control dust geting into the cab. As a bonus, it cut down on noise in the cab by at least half. I can now converse with the wife or listen to the radio.

    hard shifting

    Hard shifting is a trait of these machines. Over time it will get a little easier but never free shift. I bought my 2017 with 40hrs and 400kms and had to battle with it to get in into and out of gear. Now at 200hrs and 3500kms it shifts somewhat easier but does have its moments where it is...

    Work lights.

    The price of OEM switches are outrageous. When I installed my two front LED lights and a rear LED light, I bought two blue lighted switches off Ebay and removed the OEM plug and wired them for the switches.

    X1100c Snowblower alignment rattle height

    What I would personally do is just lift the blower to clear the ground to move it. Leave it run and be careful not to lift the blower too high while running. Disconnect the PTO when finished for the day and lift the blower to its transport height.

    I re I regularly use my 1100C to put my Seadoo Sportster in the lake and remove it. I hook onto it and drag it out of the water backwards up over 18% grade to my garage. The machine dosn't miss a beat hauling close to 2000lbs like this.

    Yes I see this video. I consider these videos to be somewhat abusive to the machines but they do provide in interesting insight into what they are capable of.

    X1100c Snowblower alignment rattle height

    You may want to get into a habit of disconnecting the PTO when raising the blower past the point where the noise starts. I have a rear blower mounted on my BX tractor and if I raise it 4-5" off the ground the PTO shaft starts to vibrate. This can seriously damage the PTO and blower if the shaft...

    Intermittent Wiper

    Below is a wiper delay timer i found on Ebay. Looks to be pretty simple to install and will provide an intermittent function to the wiper. I plan on mounting the POT in one of the switch knockouts to control delay time. This may require removing the POT from the board and using wires to mate it...

    Yes it is incredible what these machines can actually haul. One of its biggest plus's is the dynamic style braking when controlling a heavier load. I have had a thousand pounds of weight in the box and coming down our driveway the machine just crawls with no brake effort required.

    The original poster said the weight was 11700 I believe.

    It is just a little over the spec weight for the machine. :-) But in all fairness it is an impressive pull for this machine. Can not see one of the other UTV's on the market capable of such a feat.

    New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

    Light dimming issues when using hi current draw accessories is pretty normal. I usually see a flicker in the lights when the air conditioning compressor cycles. If you get sever dimming during chute articulation or raising the blower, it may be drawing too much power from the electrical system...

    Plowing or snow blowing with a Kubota X 1100 C

    I personally do my plowing in low range. It is easier on the drive train especially as speed is not a concern. I also plow with a BX25 which also is done in low range.

    First Time plowing

    We finally had enough snow here on the East Coast to connect the plow to the 1100C and use it. I am so impressed with how much wet heavy snow this machine can push. I have a 6' 8" Meyer Homeplow connected via the upgraded front 2" receiver and it worked out great. The industrial tires seem to...

    1100c Strobe installation

    I don't believe the factory wiring is set up to support illuminated switches. When I installed my LED's on the front and center light on the rear, I purchased illuminated switches off Ebay and wired the lights myself to support the lights in the switch. Below is a copy of the switch wiring to do...
