Newbie Considering X1140, Feedback Welcome

Hi all, as you can see this is my first post. I have spent untold hours researching and narrowing my choices for my first RTV/UTV. A little background: My wife and I own 15 acres with 11.5 in woods in west central Indiana (no real steep stuff). I currently own a Yamaha ATV that is now 22 years old. It has served me well but has required various rebuilds over the years. At 53, I now have two artificial knees and arthritis in my back and neck and would like a utility vehicle to maintain...

New to me RTVX-1100c No power on inclines

I just bought this with 550 hours on it. Great physical condition and seemed to run fine. I drove it down into a pit and tried to climb out and it would die trying to run. I also tried to do what I saw here which was to give it not too much throttle and no difference.

On road it's fine but my max speed is like 21mph at best so I am thinking something is wrong with the power delivery.

Also unrelated I can't get into Low gear. I did it once but it came back out. When I checked the cable...

RTV X1100C Dash Vents

So...I dropped by work today to install new seat covers on my new (used) buggy and upon quick reinspection realized I forgot to address something that needs fixing. 3 of the 4 round dash vent grills need to be replaced/repaired because the rod connecting the 2 blades are missing. I can check with Kubota tomorrow, but can anyone here describe how to remove/reinstall these vent grills without actually removing the lower dash panel and/or breaking anything? The part number for these...

Locking Fron Differential

I checked with Torq Masters about them possibly having a locking differential for the RTV X1120. Here is their response.

"Thanks for your email. Our style of locker is mechanical (not electrical) and it works automatically like an automotive locker. We do not currently have a locker for the RTV but we are looking into it. I do not see us having one ready until late 2022 or early 2023."

I have a few steep trails where a front locker would come in handy. I haven't had much luck mashing the...

Max 24 no start just white smoke. 😩

Hi guys.
My 2017 Max 24 has been babied. It’s garage kept and has just 275 hrs.

A few months ago it started taking longer to fire up after sitting a few days. I was hoping it would just clear it’s self up because it ran perfectly after starting.
Yesterday I used it all day moving dirt.
today it will not start.
It’s just puffing out white smoke.

The air filter is new and clean.

Reverse Lights for 2018 RTV X1100C

Weird Exhaust Smell

The last two times I've ran my RTV I've noticed a strange burning smell. It's running perfectly fine. The first time I thought maybe salt off the roads on the exhaust. Even though I never smelled it last winter. Today I narrowed it down to the exhaust itself. IT SMELLS LIKE GRILLING MEAT! Do you think a mouse could've actually died inside my muffler? I've checked over the rest of the machine, no nests or debris anywhere.

TC29D, Block Heater, Garage Door

A week or so ago I ad to park my TC29D outside. I grabbed a couple of cords so I could plug my block heater in. Plugged one end into the wall outlet in the garage and went out to the tractor and plugged the heater in. My garage door started going down. Quick thinking I ran into the garage or I would have locked myself out of the house. I looked around to see if anyone was playing any tricks on me. No one was home. I tried to duplicate the incident but no luck. I tried unplugging at...

John Deere 955 Is Slow

Hi all! New to owning a tractor and I bought a nice John Deere 955 with around 480 hours, 1992. The problem I am having is that it is very slow, around 3-5 mph and the manual says top speed should be around 11. All fluids are good, no leaks that I can see. I have it in high gear, placing it in low gear slows it to a snails pace. Maybe linkage problem? I don't know and looking for ideas before I have to pay big $ to a dealer. Thanks All

John Deere 6110 hissing sound stuck valve.

Title says it all.
I have a 6110 jd with a 620 loader. It doesn’t seem to matter if I use the loader, or steering wheel, quite often a valve is sticking somewhere in the back making a hissing sound. If I wiggle the loader it releases the pressure.
Any idea what to take apart and clean?
Thanks

Zero RTV Dealer Stock?

I drove past Allpower in Athens, Ohio this afternoon on the way to the farm and noticed there isn't a single RTV on the lot. On the way back, I stopped and peeked into the front window. Not a single unit in sight. Not even a Sidekick. There was a used buggy of some kind in the fenced area but I could not make out what it was.

Is this the same in your area? If so, is anyone clear on why? Is it parts availability? Factory short on people? No one to ship them?

Recently acquired Ford 1210 with Loader

I've never had a tractor and this one was left to me from my father in-law. It runs great and at first the loader worked fine. It has a Bushhog 1845QT. The other day I cranked it up and the I raised the loader and it worked fine. However I went to lower it it was real slow, took 20 minutes to get it down. Also the bucket was slow to move. I inspected the lines and the control was leaking. Pics are attached. It looks like it's coming out of the detent valve. The rebuild kit of what I could...

Door Panel Removal

Hi Folks,
I have to tighten the passenger door handle on my X1100C. Upon looking at the door, I assume I will have to remove the orange panel on the exterior of the door to access it. Is it as simple as it looks to get off?

Sudden Stop when decelerating RTV 900

Love my RTV but the back U-Joints on my 2007 Kubota 900 is POS. I have to replace them quite frequently and I thing the sudden stopping has a lot to do with it. Is there a way to adjust this machine so it doesn't throw me through the windshield when I decelerate?

Bed Liner Advice

So my search for an X1140 may have come to an end, however, as has been the case on every deal so far, it comes with a "but". I have called so many Kubota dealers I am probably on a do-not-call list. haha. One of the dealers I called three weeks ago called me this afternoon and said he just had two hit his dock unexpectedly and asked if I was still interested. The only caveat is that the two he got in are not bed lined from Kubota. Should I be concerned about third party bed lining? I...

but not new to RTVs. I purchased my first RTV, a new RTV500 camo, in early 2013. I put just shy of 350hrs trouble free hours on it and just sold it for 87% of the price I paid new (not including insurance). I sold it because I just upgraded to a new RTV-X1140 orange with plastic top, tempered glass windshield, allow wheels, spray-on bed liner, and worksite tires. I was lucky enough to find a dealer about 5hrs away that had one in stock so I made the drive and am glad I did since a price...

This fine tractor has 1800+ hours and is approaching 17 years old. Recently the engine would cut out for an instant while traveling and then quickly recover to full power. At first I thought it was something caught under the seat interfering with the seat safety switch but that wasn't the case. I thought the switch might be defective but then it stalled and didn't recover when I was off the seat. But when i turn the key it starts right up and purrs like a kitten, no lack of power.

First time snowblower use

One word description , WOW!!!!!!
Previously I used a blade mounted to my jeep to do this work . I have a concrete driveway about 50' wide by about 150' long . The blade worked fine except I had to make repeated passes because of the length I had to push it to . I Was lucky I had an open field to push it to behind my property . The blade would only keep so much in front of before spilling off to the sides , so I had to make many passes over the same area to move it to the field . I...

RTV-X1120 Rollover

I saw these today on TractorByNet. Two very disturbing images. The poster did not explain how it happened but I do not believe there were injuries. The driver was thrown free. I hope they were OK.

If you look closely, you will notice the tires are those run flat kind. I can't imagine them having the capacity to support an RTV, even an unloaded one.

Also, the ROPS on the passenger side looks snapped or cut. I am not sure which. The ROPS on mine looks like it could roll down a hill and not...

Saw this old pic of my first RTV. A 2006 RTV 900. I drove all the way from Ohio to Mobile Alabama to get it. I could not find one in my price range close by so I drove.
Thought this be a good idea for a thread for all to share memories. About your RTV's or anything.

Here is a pic from 2013. I had picked up a plastic windshield and a vinyl cover for the 900. Better than nothing but also makes me appreciate my x1100c sitting in the garage.

Kuboto RTV-X Snowblower Capability

I have a situation where snow slides off a garage & house metal roofs and the snow gets somewhat compacted because it is wet and heavy. I was wondering if the RTv-X would be able to handle this situation. Talked to a local dealer and they were somewhat skeptical that it could do it saying it would only do what a regular snowblower would do.

To further clarify my situation: The snow tends to be wet when it slides off the roof so consequently it is dense and somewhat compacted, but Not...
