Specs are 12x7 with 4x110mm wheel bolt hole pattern. Willing to travel a bit from SC TN. LMK what you have! Thanks,

On or about April 7, 2016 I posted this pic of my new 26-11-12 ITP Blackwater Evolution tires replacing the existing Craptyle 25-11-12 tires: These were installed originally on my RTV-900, then transferred to my new 2021 RTV-XG850: Another pic with the IRPs: The ITPs were great for...

I want to ditch my Kubota RTV-XG850 and it's moronic twitchy throttle design flaw, get rid of the problematic engine and the 40 mph purposely throttled speed. So far, I'm looking at the Honda Pioneer 1000 and the Polaris Ranger 1000, both of which have 1000-1500 lb payload bed capacity. What...

Apparently they are now defunct. http://www.allterrainonline.com/ Too bad: great prices, great service and good advice from Robin. :(

I bought my Sidekick almost 2 years ago this May. When I got it, the first thing I did was swap out the 25" OEM tires and replaced them with the 26" ITP Blackwater Evolutions that were on my old RTV-900. Pic of the 25" EOM tires vs. 26" ITP Blackwaters: ITPs: One of my new hobby's in the...

Like the title says; I want to get a Fumoto valve to replace the engine oil drain plug. https://www.fumotousa.com/

RTV-XG850 Utility Vehicles Recall Alert And Mandatory Safety Campaign Name of Product: RTV-XG850 “Sidekick” Utility Vehicles Hazard: The utility vehicle’s steering shaft can shear at or near the electric power steering housing, and cause the rider to lose steering control, posing an injury...

Saw one of my neighbors yesterday. He rode a couple miles to my place in his Polaris Ranger. I noticed the windshield and got envious. I hated driving my RTV-900 at it's glacially slow speed in the winter; I'm going to hate it even more with my far more nimble and speedier Sidekick. What...

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...

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...

As I wrote on TBN a few minutes ago: I consider it a major safety issue, personally. I was ready and - I thought prepared - for it and I was still surprised by it. It is very easy to have an out of control forward or rearward acceleration with this thing. Furthermore, doing fine work - like...

Here be pics. As it came from the factory; this lasted from the dealer's parking lot, to my trailer, then into my shop, that's it. Old vs. new; about the only thing in common is the camo: A couple hours later (and $50), I had my old ITP Blackwater Evolutions back on it: So right...

One of the cylinders has lost compression; requires a rebuild or replacement. :( It smokes like heck. Worse, the throttle/HST linkages are fubared and no one will fix it due to the engine problem. "We stopped when we saw the engine problem!" I could *probably* live with the smoke and lost...

There is probably a +95% chance I'll be replacing my 2006 RTV-900. Originally, I planned on getting another RTV-900. Then I started looking at RTV-XG850 Sidekick at the local dealer - and now I have a decision to make. Help me spend my money. While I was at the local dealer, the salesman and...

While doing some maintenance on my RTV900G6 Worksite, including fuel filter replacement, I found the idle adjustment bolt on the front of the engine. It's detailed in this video here: What I discovered is that on my RTV, not only is the anti-tamper piece missing, but also the cap nut...

Need some help from the community: Pic of my RTV nameplate, model and serial number. Can anyone tell me the model number (RTVG, RTVG6, RTVG9, RTVT, RTVT5 etc.) and the year of manufacture? Pic of my left rear underbed area. What is the hook on the bottom center on the frame and the...

Any ideas for buying replacement seat belts for a RTV900. It looks like the belt ends bolt to the fram with 3/8" bolts. So I would need a retractable end and then the belt receptacle at the other end. I would think that this could just be a generic seat belt, not Kubota-specific (with...

I need to replace the seatbelts in my 2006 RTV. Some time before I got it, the originals were removed. It looks like they attach with 5/16" (or equivalent metric) bolts, so generic seat belts would work fine. If you wanted new-ish seat belts for your RTV without paying lots of $$$, where...

After an encounter with a trespasser a couple weeks ago, I decided I needed to do a light upgrade to the RTV. First up were some 18W/1200 lumen lights from Signstek off of Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GLLW3AM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These are the same...
