    K-Connect

    Post 167 on this thread describes what this member does with the K-connect to regain the ground clearance during the summer time. I personally have not removed any parts of the K-connect during the summer. I only harvest 12 cords a year so the decreased clearance and approach angle hasn’t been...

    New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

    Merry Christmas all! I’ve got to correct myself, the old halogen lights say 35 watt not 55 watt like I thought. The LEDs are 100% better in strength and distance. I used two spots and two floods on the brackets in front and a single spot on the rear bracket. I have two more LED floods, I...

    New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

    **2 year update** I just replaced the 3 halogen work lights at 55 watts a piece with 5 LED 18 watt a piece work lights and now have ZERO light dimming during raising/lower or chute articulation.

    Factory style connectors for X1100C work light harness

    Thank you for the link, unfortunately they are different connectors. The RTV tail lights also share the same connectors I’ve found. From another forum I found, connectorexperts have the connectors (EX2061M & EX2061F) for $78.10 and that’s just not feasible unless it’s a bulk quantity price which...

    Factory style connectors for X1100C work light harness

    I currently have the halogen work lights on the front and rear of my x1100c but would like to swap them out for some Grote LED lights I have laying around. I would like to find new factory matching connectors to put on the Grote plug harnesses. I can disassemble the plug ends off the halogen...

    New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

    Little update- My dealership is still “trying” to get a tech to figure out the lights dimming but they did fix the raise lower issue by replace a valve block and valve. So I’ll keep bugging them about a tech until I can get a real answer from kubota about the lights.

    New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

    I hope it’s something along those lines. If they only do one or two a year I can see it being an over sight in the install. I could be the first to notice or be bothered by the issues. Either way I will stick with it until we get it sorted out and or have a kubota tech go thru it. Winter seems...

    New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

    Update # idk at this point. Ha. Still no set date for the kubota tech. I also found all the front sway bar bolts were only a few threads in and over looked after k-connect install (not really a reassuring find). No harm done but I did let the mechanic come and bolt everything back down while he...

    New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

    By chance did you notice any dimming when articulating the blower shoot? My local dealer got in touch with a kubota tech that has a few areas he wants to check. Now we’re just waiting on an opening to get the tech to the dealership. If kubota intended for the k-connect to cause lights dimming...

    New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

    The lift cylinder works off of the main RTV hydraulics and the shoot functions run off of the k-connect pump. The lift/lower dims the lights but my dump bed does not which makes me think maybe it could be something to do with the k-connect controls/wiring. The president of the dealership did...

    New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

    I spoke with the dealership president this afternoon. He has a tech scheduled to be in at his main dealership and will run the issue by them. I’m sure end game will be taking back to my local dealer and having a kubota tech come diagnose it.

    New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

    Still no real answer from the dealer. I’ve emailed kubota directly and was recommended to bring the unit in so they can be in contact with a tech. I’m in the process of speaking with my dealer president to get a direct answer from a kubota tech. It can’t be this big mystery. I can’t believe a...

    X1100c Snowblower alignment rattle height

    That’s the same process I do when the blower is engaged. I wish the lift cylinder had a better response time. It’s just hard to know if the few things that bother me is normal or now not right without having other RTVs to compare.

    X1100c Snowblower alignment rattle height

    I’d be interested in seeing measurements from the ground to bottom of blower when the noise becomes noticeably different on like machines. Are most people seeing around 4” before noise or some people getting more lift before the noise starts.

    X1100c Snowblower alignment rattle height

    I purchased a ‘20 x1100c with k-connect plus snowblower and am looking for some owner feed back on pto noise. With hand throttle all the way up and pto engaged I can lift the blower to about 4” off the ground (maybe 1/4-1/3 the way up) before the shaft gets noisy. It’s not a horrible noise but...

    New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

    So what I know: -operating hydraulic dump bed has NO effect on lights. -using any hydraulic k-connect function causes light(s)to dim down (hand throttle at full). -lifting blower seems slow or initially hesitant (may just be me not used to it) I noticed: -blower seems to raise uneven due to...

    New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

    Not much of an update but I had the kubota dealers road mechanic bring up my rear window screen and look over the machine. He checked over the charging system/electrical but no readings stood out as a red flag. He said they usually do around 2 k-connect installs a year. They haven’t had any...

    New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

    I will post the findings. The dealer is waiting on my rear screen then will come up to install that and look it over at the same time. We just moved last fall so I found out 30”of snow and a 400’ drive on a hill isn’t something to kill ones self over. I didn’t want to put a plow on the truck...
