The original lift arms on my M4700 were standard…with the usual contortions needed whenever 3-pt implements were needed to be changed. I’ve finally made things easier by finding out that Kubota sells a “telescoping lift arm kit” for an MX4800 which is a perfect replacement. Much easier to...

I live in central Tx where “hill country” is the usual description. The ranch has some pretty steep grades on loose gravel as well as some “boggy” river and pond bottoms. I have a small home-made trailer with little 5.70-8 wheels and I typically over-load it… It was likely intended for...

My ‘96-era M4700DT developed a leak at the steering cylinder. The local dealer says it’s an old-style cylinder which has been previously repaired with a mix of new and old style parts …making it complicated to re-seal without buying two different seal-kits costing over $800…. Dealer recommends...

I am both amused …and irritated….at the rattle that comes from the dump bed…mostly noticeable at idle/rest. It seems a major cause of this rattle is the side-panel-inserts on the sides of the dump bed. They are inserted/retained by grooves within the upper edge and ends of the side-walls...

My M4700DT developed a front axle oil leak at the left bevel gear case oil seal (item 8. Notice the pic shows the seal to be a two-piece seal..but it’s actually a one-piece…similar to a common wheel bearing seal or any axle seal.) I ordered the parts and disassembled it and I’m attempting...

Yes, Happy Eostre.... the celebration of the goddess of the solstice... to celebrate recovery from winter.

There’s a classic old poem “Hell In Texas” ... written by someone in a former-century when it was fun to make-fun about the best place to live in the world.... BUT... it finally got seriously COLD this week. The coldest I’d ever witnessed in my 70+ years here in central Tx was about 17-F...and...

What am I missing here? Aren’t these “off road” vehicles? If one wants to drive “On Road”... shouldn’t an “On Road” vehicle have the necessary devices to prevent serious injury to others On the Road? Does your RTV meet the normal braking capabilities of on road vehicles? Does it meet the...

I used to own an old Ford 9N that I constantly got flats from mesquite thorns for the ten years it took to finally rid my grass runway of them. I used “Slime” in the inner-tubes but it ruined the wheel-rims causing severe rust and before I could sell that little tractor I had to buy new wheels...

I thought I’d replace a burned fuse in my X900.... but they are NOT the same as the automotive micro fuses commonly seen these days. Has anyone seen these itty-bitty things for sale anywhere but Kubota? WHAT is their “official” size designation? OK..NEVER MIND... I accidentally figured it...

Just rec’d a quote from a well-known Kubota dealer for the Basic X900 (General Purpose) with no options: $12, 965 plus $777 taxes, total $13,742 :eek: I was just being curious how much I’d (thought) I’d over-paid for one with only 300 hours on it, but which had the 4K-Warn Winch, Full...

Every day I check these forums hoping to pick up some solution to some previously-unknown problem with my X900... but...once-agin... disappointment.... No new posts informing me of someone’s difficulty with their RTV whose knowledge and/or discovery I might some-day find useful for my own...

Anyone with an idea how to determine the RPM? IN other words, without a tachometer how to do it? And how would a tach attach? (RTV-X900)

I haven't looked to see what is sold in all the stores in my area but I was surprised to read in the WSM for the RTV-X900/RTV-X1140 on page G-11 where it states: "The CJ-4 Engine Oil is intended for DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) type engines and cannot be used in this vehicle." On page G-8 it...

OK, just thought I'd run this by the group: I went to ebarf and found a WSM for my RTV-X900 for sale at $15. The description specified "Condition: Brand New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages."...

When I got my new-to-me 2015 X900 home I found a puddle of antifreeze under it directly beneath the drivers seat. It was a loose hose clamp where a rubber coolant hose connected to a metal tube. Removed the clamp and caught the coolant in a pan, cleaned up the metal tubing light corrosions...

Previous owner (or his son) had installed a Warn 4500-S winch and placed the switch adjacent to the LED Lightbar switch such that while operating the RTV it's very easy to hit the winch switch instead of the lightbar. This creates the potential to inadvertently stress the winch ever-tighter...

I've lived in the "country" for the last 30 years (about 40 miles West of Austin) having grown up in Hot/Humid/Flat Houston and escaped out of there 50 years ago. My Dad kept me involved in Boy Scouts as a young man summer-camping near Wimberly, Tx at a place called "El Rancho Cima" and as I...

I've read many posts where owners tell they've added kerosene to their diesel fuel in order to combat cold weather. This USED to be an alternative when Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel was available. No longer. Kubota specifically states that Kerosene is NOT TO BE ADDED to diesel fuel. If cold wx...
