Almost looks like Gleaner combine gray if it wasn't metallic.

Looks nice...but why is Kubota emphasizing silver paint "so you get noticed wherever you go" and a protective spray-on bed liner, and a speedometer? How fast does a RTV go? 25mph??? I looked at the Kubota RTV while getting a tractor quote and thought it was very stout, capable machine. Why focus attention to items other than it's motor, tank frame, HST, dump bed, 4WD, etc. As a consumer, I focus on performance...I don't care much about the toe nail polish on a bull. We got a new fire engine at work the other day...my first new one in 20-something years. Yes it is a pretty thing...with more bells than a 100 year old church...but all I care about is what drivetrain does it have, what it's tank capacity, max GPM flow, hosebed capacity, etc. Comparably, I see the RTV as workhorse...sell me on the warrior, not the beauty queen. Two thumbs up for RTV, two thumbs down for the marketing team... I bought a Ranger and see the same thing there too, it's an industry-wide disappointment to me. I recall Polaris making an ATV named the MV7 which served the military...that was a machine. Blow me away with an RTV painted army green featuring run-flat tires, enhanced ground clearance, dual batteries, extra lighting, winch, extra storage space, and heavy-duty everything. You'll see me saluting when you drive by.

I have to agree with the last post. Silver paint and a spray on bedliner? Thats it? How about more HP or a heavier duty machine(not that the 900 isn't already heavy duty). Better yet, how about a locking front diff? Anniversity editions generally offer performance enhancements not just some shiny paint. I think Kubota could have done much better.

Thanks for writing my response. I really like my RTV. I have the camo, cab, cab heater, extra lights, radio, etc. I don't like the look of the RTV1100 and don't like the fact you can't take the doors off. Mine are off in the summer. I would like more useable power and the ability to hit at least 40mph.

yea if you wanna do 40mph then the rtv ain't for you.if i do 40mph in a utv i'll be in traction. they just ain't in the stort class they are workin class. although there was a thread about a adjustment to the 900 rtv to power it up maybe there is an adjustment for the 1100??
