I've got a loaner Kubota RTV 900 while my RTV 1140 CPX is enroute from the factory and noticed on my most recent trip up a steep trail in my yard (I'd guess around 50 degree slope) with a very full load of granite rocks (well above the rim of the box), it felt like my front wheels were coming off the ground (lost all steering), and when I went to turn it around to back up the hill, and I may be wrong, it felt like I was about nearing the point of it tipping over completely......
...... that being said, in reverse, up the steep hill (around 900 yards), and it made it just fine...... that diesel engine must have a ton of torque because it didn't even begin to act like it was needing more power, just more weight on the front end......
Has anyone else experienced this with their UTV's, Kubotas or otherwise? Has anyone put ballast in their UTV tires or wheel weights?
(yes, I know I need a tractor, but my toy/tool budget is limited.... so having to make do in the short term while I save for my B26 or L45)
