    Is the X1100C a good machine to plow snow?

    We bought an X1100C the first year they came out. Machine is very good for most chores, but half the reason we bought it was to plow snow on our acreage. We had installed a BOSS V plow with hydraulics which cost over $3000. The plow is great, but the Kubota is NOT a good machine for plowing...

    Slipping Hydrostatic transmission?

    We've got a 2014 X1100 with about 75 hours on it. Yesterday, when plowing snow, we noticed that when pushing the machine into a snow bank that won't move, that the engine bogged down a little, but the wheels were not turning. Good traction. My experience with a hydrostat transmission that is...

    Kubota 1100 vs Polaris 800 plowing snow

    I own a 2013 Polaris 800 XLT with a Moto snow plow. I have been amazed at what the unit will accomplish pushing snow with only a 1200# machine. My concern is that the snowmobile type transmission will not stand up under hard work and therefore am interested in the Kubota 1100. Logic would...
