RTV - X1100C

[lloyd123]

I noticed that my RTV-X1100C has a seat belt warning light on the control panel easy checker that has never illuminated. I never wear the seat belt as I'm just plowing my driveway - and as required in the OM for 50 hour break-in - never running at top speed. Also never going off road so don't see the need. Not that I want it to come on but just wondering why it doesn't. Looked at the fuse panel and couldn't find a listing for it. Maybe disconnected by the dealer to avoid complaints?

Again- not looking to actually have this light on - just curious how the thing works.

Still haven't got mine yet. Still waiting on stuff from Orange Aftermarket to ship.

You know.....everyone has a case of the covid lazy nowadays. Nobody has to work any more.

My 5 yr old X1100c has a icon for seatbelt light too, but it is not connected to my seatbelts . I suspect that many aspects are included even though not intended to work for our ordered model. Eg I did not order the stock radio, but I found the speakers were already in the headliner. ( so I added aftermarket radio on my own a year later. )

I'm waiting on the receiver hitch mount for the winch and the front and rear wire harnesses for it. and the rear protection plate. My dealer already had everything else. But I don't want to haul it all the way home, then back again just for that.

I've been working with the Rhino making some trails wide enough for the Kubota, I'll be opening up this trail off one of our highest hills. If I have the RTV in low and in four wheel drive, do you think I can walk up it with a load of wood or a splitter?

I had a person tell me some of the grade is 12 and others at 20 for short distances which seems correct.

Although it is difficult to compare your hill pics to my pic ( see hill in background) mine is slippery clay when wet so has some gravel impressed into clay for traction, but my Kubota in low 4wd has no problem, and when wet I have my foot ready to press diff lock if need be . I suspect you will have no problem. My hill continues another 100 yards after the first lip seen in pic. But the first lip section is the steepest. I won't attempt it with my Husqvarna lawn tractor too steep. I suspect mine is 50 % .

I went down it again today with the rhino on my way to get more beech firewood, there are a few spots that need fill before I go up it.

I have some rotten basswood that has been down for years that I'll put in the lowest spots and then add chips and pine needles, that will work for a short time.

I did get it cleared yesterday, the rain has taken its toll on the trail.

Finally got mine home! I love it. And it climbs my hills no problem at all. WAY WAY HAPPY with this thing.

Just gotta wait until end of June now for the Boss 6.6 Power Vee XT plow to come in. Dealer told me if I wait until then when they get their stock order it will save me the shipping cost.

So hopefully I will still be able to keep the grill guard and use the front receiver hitch with the Boss plow mount on and the blade off in the summer.

Nice unit and you tow it on a similar trailer that I do. Every summer I haul mine from Sault to inlaws cottage near Mattawa. So always lots of construction on Hwy 17, and gravel flying at times . Just a suggestion but I purposely load it backwards on trailer, because I can only imagine how expensive the complex large curved front windshield is, so prefer to risk the rear windshield to flying gravel. ....and I have since installed a homemade rear screen on that glass. ..from one Ontario guy to another....

 

[Paystar]

Hey Jake. I was actually thinking about that, loading it backwards. Or covering the windows with cardboard or something when travelling. But I only had to take it home from Northshore Tractor in Echo Bay, so I took a chance this time. Highway is pretty clean right now.
I used to be one of the guys on those highway construction jobs with my dump truck, LOL

Not sure if you are from Wawa, but I go riding up there too. But I will be using my atv's for that because my friends with their turbo 1000 side by sides don't want to ride with me at 25 MPH, LOL

 

[wawajake]

I bought mine at Northshore , its only 6km away from my house ! Great service from part dealer ownerTom F. Had a camp up near Wawa many years ago . I have rode trails with faster SxS s but noticed most old trails you can't drive over 25mph anyway , Of note found a roughly 5ft length of wood dowel fits across back window on top bracket, then I attached a piece of the wire mesh white closet shelving the full width of dowel at top, then a few properly sized bolts

 

[wawajake]

Post cont'd ....bolts along bottom of shelving thru it with big washers will reach existing holes in brackets at bottom corners of windows, spray painted it all black, See pic above with firewood, now accidentally loading box with wood or gravel wont break vack glass.

Right on Jake. Good tip about the dowel. I think I might put a rear protector on. I have to trailer it to Sudbury end of July to get the Boss plow installed. I'll load it backwards and do that.

I live in Goulais. I'm friends with Tom. Great guy. He does lots for me. Like this past winter. He had a new backhoe for my B2620 that never sold so he gave me a deal on it. I mentioned I hate trailering my tractor on the salt covered highway in winter. So they came and picked it up and brought it back in an enclosed trailer. I thought that was cool.

I did a 36 mile trail ride tonight. I LOVE this thing. Even my wife said way more comfortable than the ATV's. Stayed dry, clean and warm. And it rides and handles beautifully.

 

[Paystar]

So two questions. On the dash display outer edges where all the warning lights are....should the headlight icon not light up with the headlights on? Mine does not. Nor does the seatbelt light if we don't have them on.

And, just as the Cat wheel loader I run in the mine does....when I put the LED cab light on, it loses all radio reception. Is there a fix for that?

Kubota makes a rear metal screen protector for the rear glass.Had one installed on my RTV 1100c.It also flips up for easy cleaning of the rear glass.

On the led lights the only brand that I have found is rigid leds that will not knock out the radio reception they are pretty pricy though.

 

[wawajake]

Paystar....your unit is 3 or 4 yrs newer than mine, so maybe dash light differences. ....and I installed aftermarket radio......one tip, always turn key off in neutral and use emerg brake, instead of shutting down in gear, because it won't start in gear and sometimes hard to get out of gear when shutdown ( need to rock back and forth to unweight gears) so easier to always park in neutral. ...glad to hear from a Goulaisgan .....pm me if need to see any machine aspects or to compare kubota notes....my tractor is a smaller one ( bx2660) so am envious but Tom has sold me many a pto attachment over the years. But I suspect you would be more mechanically tip helpful for me.

 

[Paystar]

Thank's Coobie, think I will price one. But Jake's idea is good too....and real cheap. I just re-read my owners manual. It describes every light on the Easy Checker and no where in the book does it ever say anything about the headlight indicator, so I'm thinking it is not active on this model.
That digital display is the same used used on other Kubota products, so may be a feature only on the tractors.

So I guess the radio reception thing is normal with some LED lights?
