    BX2230 HST Pedal Return

    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...

    Book or DVD on Learning Diesel Engines

    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...

    BX Tire Replacement

    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...

    Full Time in 4WD

    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.

    RTV On Duty At Joint Base Hickam/Pearl Harbor.

    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...

    Upgrade from X1120 to X1100C - Anyone Do This?

    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...

    How Much Throttle Cable Play Is Normal?

    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

    X1120D Bed Hydraulic Cylinder Pin

    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...

    200 Hour Service

    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...

    Pup Goggles

    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...

    1120D - Steering When Not Running

    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...

    How long did your RTV-X Battery Last?

    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...

    EMP Rear Bumper for RTV - Anyone Have This?

    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

    RTV Engine Oil Color

    This may be a diesel question rather than just RTV. I noticed that the engine oil in my 1120D turned black not long after changing. In my gasoline vehicles, the oil stays like honey until it has many hours on it. I just wanted to know if this is normal. If this happened in a gas engine so...

    What Brand of Diesel Treatment Do You Use?

    My neighbor scolded me for not using some kind of diesel treatment in the RTV, the BX and the 5 gal diesel cans. I don't usually have to operate them in subzero weather but you never know. He suggested "Howes Diesel Treat" but there are many others out there. Any of them better than that...

    Battery Source

    I am going to hook up a dome light on the RTV-X1120 that needs full time 12vdc. I know there are ready 12vdc "switched" connectors under the dash and near the battery. Does anyone know if there is a ready 12vdc connector anywhere on the unit? My WSM did not show one. Hate to another wire to...
