Buying Advice Kubota RTV 1100

[angussprings]

16 degf! Driving through the woods watching the deer run.....warm as a fresh piece of toast. Now that's what I call comfortable. Still haven't taken any pictures but I promise they are comming. Just picked up a pair of Bose speakers to mount onto the rear screen so that we can enjoy music when fishing and swimming down by the river.

I really wish you guys would quit posting, I can't really afford ANOTHER Kubota right now.

Thanks for the post, That turbo kit sounds like the missing link on these units, all in what do you think it cost for parts?

I don't want to post specifics to a company without their permission, but if you just Google "turbo kit for RTV1100", you'll get several hits for complete 'bolt on' kits. It appears the price has gone up a bit since I bought mine. I paid right at $1500 for the complete kit and it took me about 2 hours total to install. I could do a 2nd in half the time, but I wanted to be careful.

I also was surprised to see that I've had the turbo kit on mine for right at 2 years now and the coast valve on for about 2 1/2 years. I'm very well pleased with both. Since it did make sense to grab cleaner air, I also installed the Kubota high air intake kit. It seems to catch a lot of dust in it's glass bowl way up at the roof line of the RTV (saving it from plugging my air filter), but it sure is one rattle maker! I've added all sorts of foam tape, rubber wedges etc., and it still rattles like crazy. It seems like a good idea but just be aware that it's going to rattle like crazy.

Dig up some of them Mason jars filled with money in your yard! I know you retired Gvmnt workers/farmers have money. Sell or trade in one of the tractors, not one of the Orange ones which I know will bring more trade in than them off color ones but you can't give up Orange!!!!!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup

John, you might just be on to something there; just can't decide which way to go; get rid of excess money or excess tractors; decisions, decisions.:laughing:

I'm thinkin' of tradin' in my Ghel 4830 turbo and my Kubota 4310 for a Kubota 5740 cab model.:thumbsup:

The L5740 HSTC is a really nice tractor; probably going to replace my L5030 with one some day.

Not complicated to add a RTV on that order.

That will work but I can't see any reason to get a F3680 vs a F3080. I looked long and hard and haven't had a single issue with lack of power on my F3080. It wouldn't pull up my steepest hill one time and I just about got heartsick thinking that's why they sell the 36HP. Then I noticed I had it in H range. Dropped to L range and it has never stuttered since.
