I have used Kubota engine oil since my RTV was new. It is well out of warranty now and a friend who has several diesel tractors (Green, Orange, Red and Blue) suggested I switch to Rotella T4. Just interested in your experience, especially if you have a lot of hours on yours. For me longevity...

One of my RTV's uses is pulling a motorized bush hog. While mowing, I have never had any strange noises from the steering. I recently added a spinner for the steering wheel, a gift from my Brother after he watched me negotiate my orchards. After about an hour on the spinner's maiden voyage...

I checked the axle oil level on my BX2230 and noticed the dipstick is the same color as the oil. The only way to check the oil is to use your finger and I am somewhere between the normal lines. I thought about painting it some contrasting color but wasn't sure if the UDT would dissolve the...

Had a problem for years with the HST pedal not returning to neutral or center. It never bothered me much but it almost caused the Mrs. a problem last weekend. She took her foot off the pedal to set the brake and it kept moving forward. I checked the parts diagram in the service manual and I...

I have been working on gas engines most of my life and have succesfully rebuilt a few. As I roll up on retirement, I want to be able to diagnose and repair diesel problems I am likely to run into. I have both the D905 and D1105 engines. Could anyone suggest good training materials for the...

Kubota BX2230. Need to replace the front tires first. They are factory OTR 18x8.5-8 4 ply. I contacted a couple of the local AG tire shops and told them I'd like a 6 or 8 ply tire to replace it. They all quoted BTK Skidpower HD tires. As the name implies, they are skid steer tires and there...

I keep our RTV in 4WD all the time while on the property. When we go for a ride on the township roads, I'll switch out of 4WD. Anyone see a problem with keeping it in 4WD while 90% of the time on soft ground around the farm? I rarely engage the diff lock. Thanks.

Hope you all have a happy, safe and prosperous New Year!

A interesting picture is attached of an RTV on duty at joint base Hickam/Pearl. I haven't been on the base since '85 and at that time it was Hickam. I do remember an identification facility out on the edge of the base. It appears the RTV is using the front hitch to push a cart carrying the...

Looks like it will fit any X model except the 1140. Hope it helps someone. Thornville Ohio. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/324052263813107/

Stumbled across these on FNMP today. Wish I needed them, not a bad price. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/632790015680522 Hope it helps someone.

Rolling up on retirement and reduction in income, we are considering replacing our 1120 with an 1100 now so we can stay busy even when the weather is not great. We would have to work a deal with the dealer to trade in the 1120 and our 9n plus a bunch of implements and cash. I doubt our dealer...

Please see the attached short video clip of my throttle cable play. Does this seem normal for a RTV-X1120? I still get 30mph on level blacktop but seems like an adjustment might be in order. Thanks

I have a 2016 X1120. I noticed what sounded like a clunk when I raised and lowered the bed. I noticed the bottom part of the cylinder, closest to the bottom of the machine seemed loose when activated. After a closer inspection, I noticed that that retention pin had nothing in the hole where you...

I am rolling up on the 200 hour service for my 2016 X1120. The dealer has done all the service work so far but I am also rolling up on retirement and wanted to start doing my preventive maintenance myself. For the 200 hour, I notice she gets an oil change and filter, fresh transmission filters...

Our five year old Aussie loves rides in the RTV with Dad, mainly on township roads made of stones. Occasionally one of those stones flies up and Wifey is concerned about a stone putting the pup's eye out. I take a deep breath before I ask this......does anyone use or know where to get doggie...

Last weekend, the seven year old battery died in our X1120. I was able to get it going again with a jump pack and taking a replacement battery to install this coming weekend. I have never dived into hydro-static steering or how it works. But I understand the steering wheel is not directly...

Had a great Father's Day weekend with all my kids in attendance and the RTV got a good workout. On the last ride, my Son in law was putting it away so we could pack up and it wouldn't turn over. When you would turn on the key, I saw an ERR1 and an ERR2 on the information display. Assuming it was...

Has anyone installed the EMP rear bumper for their RTV? Looks like it would really protect the tail gate and transmission. But it appears to obscure the tail lights. Anyone have a picture of the finished product? Thanks
