Reverse Lights for 2018 RTV X1100C

samedi 30 décembre 2023

Hi All,

So...my new/used buggy is ready to go into service this Sunday at work. I'm an Airline Line RON Mechanic (overnight). Had full service performed, Hazard/turn signal lights, FT and RR work lights, reverse beeper, rear window grill and bed mat added at my local Dealership. Still a few things to do, but she's ready enough for now. Question/s specific to this thread are adding reverse light down low.

Found a time lapse video installing said lights, but no real info was given...

Kubota RTV x1140 transmission problem

mercredi 27 décembre 2023

I’ve got a customer with an RTV x1140 that the transmission is engaging very when you hit the accelerator and when you let off the accelerator it will almost throw you through the windshield. I know it’s just under 200 hours, just done a service on the motor. I’m needing advice on this issue since it’s used by his wife for gardening and she is elderly and in bad health

RTV On Duty At Joint Base Hickam/Pearl Harbor.

mardi 26 décembre 2023

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 possible remains of U.S. Servicemen recovered in the Philippines. It must be a pretty fair distance to the facility or they would be carrying the remains. Article pasted in below.

We watch this...

Dashboard Retainer

The flat space over the heater control is handy, but there is nothing to keep things placed there from vibrating off. I designed a fence to be attached containing the area. The part has a inside flange with screw holes, but double sided tape should be just fine. If there is sufficient interest I will print and offer them to the group. These are printed in carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate. A premium material that is very tough.

Let me know what you think.

New x1100c lights dimming from dealer

jeudi 21 décembre 2023

I am about two weeks into owning my first RTV, ‘20 x1100c camo with snowblower set up, front work lights and rear single work light all installed by the dealer. What I noticed snow blowing at night was any raising (can’t remember if lowering also) of blower or articulation of shoot it dims the lights right down. It didn’t matter if it was just head lights or single rear work light. I also noticed my raising is very slow. I’ve watched as many night use videos of the blower I could find and...

My 2017 kubota 1140 RTV will max out speed at 12 mph.

lundi 18 décembre 2023

I recently purchased a used 2017 Kubota RTV 1140 that is having issues with the transmission, the Kubota dealer inspected it and said it may need a new transmission. Well, anyway, the RTV will currently move at around 12mph max and is supposed to be around 22 to 24 mph. It backs up and goes forward properly in all gears 2x4 n 4x4. Apparently due to the inability of it to achieve maximum speed, the dealership has diagnosed the issue as it needs to be replaced at 9k, yes, 9k$. Uggh. I need...

Mice in RTV

jeudi 14 décembre 2023

Well after initially finding a mouse nest on top of my cabin air filter in my RTV-X1100 C I thought I found the solution. I got my wife with her small hands to duct tape screen over the giant open air intake hole under the hood by the firewall. Then planted bars of Irish Springs soap all over under the hood and under the seats.

Well, went to plow and got a whiff of mouse pee when the heater heated up. Sure enough found debris and feces on top of the cabin filter again. And this time the...

Factory style connectors for X1100C work light harness

What year RTV do you currently own?

vendredi 8 décembre 2023

Another thread got me thinking about the age of members RTV's. Wondering if people still have the old ones or are the new ones more common.
I don't recall when the model years changed so the year selections in the poll may not reflect particular models.
For this poll, it doesn't matter which model you have (900, 1100, X series...).

RTV 1100 Move Slow - Then Stops

New to me RTV 1100

Will drive forward and reverse up until maybe 20% throttle pedat movement. Anything beyond that and it stops moving like the hst pressure dumps. If I come back to idle it will move again.
Jacked up the back wheels and disconnected the servo rod so that I could run the wheels at idle. After about 20% servo lever movement the wheels stop. Below 20% servo lever movement the wheels start turning again.

This is a new one for me......back check/relief valve?

Priced at 1775.00 aud or about $1400.00 Usd it’s a pretty good investment. I’m telling you about this because it arrived today.

Kubota 2022 RTV1100C transmission issue

dimanche 26 novembre 2023

I was putting chains on my rear tires today, draped the chains over the tire, backed the Kubota up,
fastened the chains. Then proceeded to back the Kubota out of the barn so I could see where I needed to tighten the chains up. Got out of the Kubota chains all good, got back in to drive back into the barn to adjust the chains, and no movement. The transmission seems to be locked in some gear, since we can't even push the RTV. I moved the shifter between various settings no results. When...

For years we’ve been struggling with the constant overheating, first we dealt with the temperamental fin sensor several times. I also “burp” the coolant to the cap to avoid air gaps. I hotwired a switch to turn the fan on manually, which I thought was a solution until yesterday when she overheated deep in the woods…switch wouldn’t kick the fan on.Whaat?! When I made it back to the barn the fan finally kicked on its own. If it...

Antifreeze loss in reservoir?? X1100C

vendredi 24 novembre 2023

Hi All,

My 2014 X1100c has about 45hrs on it and I just noticed that the antifreeze reservoir is below the "Add" mark. It use to be midway up the canister between low and full. This is a closed system so where did it go? No leaks, no smoke, no sweet exhaust odor, oil is uncontaminated? It's probably missing about two cups. Could it have burped air from the system after all this time? :thankyou2:

Do any of you run supplements in your fuel?

lundi 20 novembre 2023

Quick question, does anyone run Power Service Winter Supplement & Cetane boost in your RTV's diesel fuel in the wintertime? I have never run it in my John Deere diesel, but I had an old Dodge 3500 one ton that had the Cummins in it and I would run that in it, as I had my diesel fuel gel up one time during the winter. Does Kubota recommend cetane boost for winter? I would hate for my fuel to gel up.

As I wrote on TBN a few minutes ago:

I consider it a major safety issue, personally. I was ready and - I thought prepared - for it and I was still surprised by it. It is very easy to have an out of control forward or rearward acceleration with this thing. Furthermore, doing fine work - like spraying around buildings, trees etc. or moving it to service it on the rack - is extremely difficult and frustrating.

There is simply no excuse for this condition to still exist after almost 3 years...

In my state, you can register a RTV for off highway use, which will allow you to drive it on any road that is maintained by the county. My plates just came in the mail today from the dealership. For Tennessee, it is registered as a Class 1 Off Highway Vehicle. I am still keeping the SMV sign on the back window screen. I may mount the plate next to the SMV sign.

I got one back in 2014 for my Kubota B2620. Went with the B.E. (Braber Equipment) because it looked identical to the Land Pride (which all my implements are except for the chipper/shredder) but it was exactly half the price. Have not had an issue with it.

So today I saw a sales flyer from Peavey Mart (our old TSC here in Ontario Canada that got bought out) and they were on sale for $200, regular...

rtv x1140 power steering question

I have a new to me x1140. As I drive it and the hydraulic oil warms up, I start hearing a sucking sound (fluid flowing) from the power steering controller under the steering wheel when turning the steering wheel. there is no sound when the wheel isn't turning. the oil in the tank under the front passenger seat is full. I'm thinking this is normal but wanted to ask others since I've never owned a kabota utv before.

RTV 1100 and X1100 doors

The drivers side door on my X1100 has become increasingly difficult to open from the inside. So today I decided to see what the problem was. While I didn't see any thing obviously wrong with the mechanism I did notice some surface rust at the bottom of the door by the weep holes. Additionally I have seen quite a few 1100's for sale wit the bottom of the doors ate up with rust. Does any one have a good way to keed the doors from rusting out? I did spray a ton of fluid film down there...

Upgrade from X1120 to X1100C - Anyone Do This?

dimanche 15 octobre 2023

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 would go for it but just speculating right now. My questions would be:

1. I am 6'2" and am told the cab has a little less leg room. True/False?
2. Looks like the 1100 is a little slower - is that...

EV lawn mowers: Fad or useful tool?

They have now come out with battery powered ZTR lawn mowers. Anybody own one? How much grass can can one mow and how many high priced battery modules installed does it take to mow that much grass?
Another issue plaguing EV, is battery fires. Just like EV cars, electric scooters, hover boards, phones, etc, I would think that battery fires would be an issue, especially when you park the battery powered mower in a garage or a shed.

1100c Bedliner question

A dealer is prepping a 1100c for me. I have had a plastic bed liner in my 900 since new. It has earned it’s keep and has protected the steel from countless scrapes and bumps.

The dealer has been advised that since the new machine has a spray in bedliner, the plastic one will not fit. I really have been sold on the advantages based on my 18 years of experience of having this accessory. He has to order three per Kubota rules, and is unwilling to do so. So far I have not found another...

2014 x1140 Transmission Problems.

I am new to this forum... hello! I recently purchased an auction 2014 x1140. It was used by a golf course as a drink cart. The number of nip bottles and joint ends that i cleaned out of it would suggests that the operators were mostly drunk or stoned. The engine runs fantastically, but it does not move (it was cheap). I bought it knowing that I will need to put some $$ into it. I am not scared of doing the needed repairs, but i am hoping you guys can help me diagnose the problem.

Crushed end-gate: source for used parts?

New Owner! Bought cheap RTVx1100c, have to deal with engine issue.

lundi 25 septembre 2023

Hi All,

Thought I'd share my developing story.
I bought a 2020 RTV 1100, it's smokey and underpowered. I'm not too surprised by this, I knew the risk buying low at auction. Disappointed, but that was the risk I took.
I checked the basics, filters, etc, still very smokey. Less smoke at start than after running a while.
It has 900 hours, and it has a turbo installed. Unit looks good other than the engine issue, everything else works, not too rusty.
The fluids are all at correct levels...

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 would expect to see a cotter pin or something to keep the hydraulic cylinder pin from sliding around.

As soon as I pressed the pin back into place, it eliminated the slop.

More Fun With Ford

Attended another tractor parade last Monday. Had a blast! About a two hour ride on the tractor, then a nice BBQ lunch at the pavilion. And even though I have lived around here all my life, I had no idea this museum was here! Has one of the old homestead log homes, a replica of the old schoolhouse and barns full of antique farm implements used here by locals back in the day. It blew my mind.20230807_102029.jpg20230807_101907.jpgship.PNG20230807_134007.jpg20230807_134940.jpg20230807_133946.jpg20230807_133854.jpg

Strange Issue

mardi 8 août 2023

So tonight I was taking my oldest grandson a ride before he had to head home to start school. We were having a great time and I stopped at the local park to let him play on the playground equipment. When we returned to the Kubota I saw what looked like water under the transmission area on the ground. I checked it and it was hydraulic fluid. I raised the bed and what I found was the breather tube in the top of the transmission was off the transmission on my x1140. I tried to push it back on...

Differences of filter selection for RTV-1000 vs all other RTV-1000 model numbers (X1000, 1000cr, 1000d, etc.)

My RTV-1000 is model years 2009. Buying filters but only references have letters before and after, as noted above. Are they all the same filters? Thanks in advance.

Engine wont turn over

lundi 31 juillet 2023

I have recently gotten a Massey-Ferguson TO-30 tractor with a front end loader on it. From what I have researched on it in is about 1955 to I believe 1960 model. It was running when it was parked about 5 years ago. So I thought I should put some Marvel Mystery oil in each cylinder and let it sit for a few days, then try to turn it over by hand. Well I cannot get it to budge, Some one told me it may have a hydraulic lock because we had to jack the bucket up to get it onto a trailer. This is...

I'm new to the forum. I have searched threads to find an answer and have one thing to try but thought I would ask for suggestions. My fuel filter was nasty and I know I should have changed it sooner, but I always use a funnel with a strainer so I didn't think it would be that dirty! I opened the bleeder screw and got the machine to start. It took a few seconds and it started running on all three cylinders smoothy. I started closing the bleeder and it started running rough and died. I...

Another overheating RTV 1100

jeudi 27 juillet 2023

So we've had a 2012 RTV 1100 for a few years now and it's worked great. Very first thing we did was put the swag turbo kit on it and haven't had any issues from it or the RTV itself until this summer. While driving recently, unbeknownst to the driver at the time it was overheating and the head cracked and warped. So we replaced the head with the latest part number, verified the fan and water pump were working, also made sure the radiator wasn't dirty, and got it running again. Same...

Air in power steering line

'Do I need to bleed the line? If so, how? I filled the tank under the front seat to the marks on the dip stick with Super UDT 2.

Oil change blunder

Changing the oil and filter for the first time on my RTV X-1120 at 62 hours.
When I went to add the oil I put 1/2 quart 10w-30 in the "OIL" filler before realizing that was the trans oil filler neck. What a bonehead!
I have already changed both of the trans filters and fluid at 50 hours, do I need to do it again now?

I finally got my RTV back from the dealer. While there fixing the linkage that slipped out of sync, I had a few other things done that by themselves were not worthy of a trip to the dealer. Left melted headlight fixed, fuel gauge replaced (it had been intermittent but turns out it was the gauge, no labor for replacing). I also had tubes put in the rear tires and I got the hand throttle yall had been talking about. Awesome.

RTV 900 Floor Panel & Inner Fender Well

lundi 10 juillet 2023

I recently bought a 2009 RTV 900. Probably paid too much for it but I've been looking at them for some time and finally pulled the trigger.

Cab, heat, hydraulics - everything works - which is great. I knew it had some rust issues so before mounting the plow I stripped the front end down to the frame to investigate. It wasn't terrible - not nearly as bad as I have seen elsewhere - and someone did a decent repair job some years ago.

However, the inner fender wells and floor pan need to be...

X1100 downhill acceleration long delay

Hi everyone. I have 3 X1100's where I work. One has recently developed an issue.

When going downhill and hitting the speed governor, the vehicle slows down as expected.
However, it almost comes to a complete stop before I am able to accelerate again.
When applying the throttle, the engine revs but it won't move. It is like someone is holding the brake on. When it almost comes to a complete stop it will suddenly take off.
I tested the other 2 we have and they do not act the same, as soon as...

Went to the Canada Day tractor parade yesterday. Had severe thunder storms the day before, but yesterday turned out perfect!
The Ford ran and drove beautifully. Such a nice comfortable tractor to go for a cruise on. Surprisingly it got a LOT of attention.
This show has a mix of everything. Some nice restored painted tractors, and many that literally leave work on the farm field, come do the parade covered in mud and manure, then go right back to work.

Hand throttle on RTV-X vehicles

jeudi 29 juin 2023

I have been reading up and watching videos that were posted way back since early the Jan 2021 (on this and a number of other Forums), on the benefits of adding a hand throttle to RTV-Xs, and on similar and earlier Kubota models.
It seems the major reason advocating a hand throttle is to raise the base engine speed and torque to drive the snow plows and similar attachments at the correct RPM (and torque). But in real terms, a hand throttle has a broader role to play.

Does the rear axle have to come apart to install it?

mercredi 28 juin 2023

I have a 2011 RTV 1100, and I broke a rear axle because both sides were shot when I bought this. I've bought all new bearings, seals, and two new axles, but I'm stumped on how to get it back together. I usually just pay the dealer whatever they want for these things, but this job was going to cost more than most used side by sides.

The axles come assembled, with those permanent (I think) boot clamps on the boots. From what I see, I'm going to have to knock apart the u-joints or cut off one...

The RTV-XG850 Throttle Design Flaw - any Fixes?

As I wrote on TBN a few minutes ago:

I consider it a major safety issue, personally. I was ready and - I thought prepared - for it and I was still surprised by it. It is very easy to have an out of control forward or rearward acceleration with this thing. Furthermore, doing fine work - like spraying around buildings, trees etc. or moving it to service it on the rack - is extremely difficult and frustrating.

There is simply no excuse for this condition to still exist after almost 3 years...

1120D - Steering When Not Running

lundi 26 juin 2023

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 connected to the steering arm or tie rod ends. It is instead connected to actuator valves.

If this is true, do you have steering when the RTV becomes disabled and you have to tow it with the steering...

Next day same thing only coded on bale 16. Dealer says it’s electrical but I’m not so sure. Only other symptoms is hydraulic pressure/flow drops off as it...

B21 Bogs down for no apparent reason

dimanche 25 juin 2023

I have a 1999 B21 that was abused by it's previous owner. It runs great in a straight line. When I turn hard to the left or the right, it starts blowing black smoke and bogs down. That means it;s acting like it's under a heavy load. I've also noticed that if I start moving the bucket up and down when it starts doing that, then it starts to run right but only as long as I'm moving the bucket. This makes me think that the problem could somehow be in the hydraulics...

I'm totally confused.

How long did your RTV-X Battery Last?

When you would turn on the key, I saw an ERR1 and an ERR2 on the information display. Assuming it was a low battery condition, I used my jump pack and she fired right off.

Due to an approaching storm, I decided to just yank out the battery and bring it home to test/charge. The little green eye on...
