2009 RTV 1140 w/400+ hours. No power getting to rear wheels in 2WD or 4WD. When in 4WD power gets to front wheels only. I'm guessing a hydraulic valve problem of some kind. Hoping to figure it out myself. Thanks in advance for any help! Terry

We have 3 Stihl saws and my older sons are very skilled with them. My 18 y.o. probably has well over 100 hours cutting experience and has been cutting wood for 4 years or so. He has always used chaps, gloves, ear, eye and head protection. He wears leather boots as well. Last week, in one of...

Traded the L5030HSTC for this: Kubota L4740HST 854 Loader with HD Round Bucket, chain hooks, tooth bar & the 3rd Function Remote BH92 Backhoe with 16" bucket and mechanical thumb 3 rear remotes, hydraulic top-n-tilt Canopy with work lights Rear wheel weights Land Pride RB3584 rear blade The...

I plan to add 3 rear remotes. In order to make the most of a top-n-tilt setup, I plan to have one float and one regular. My question pertains to the 3rd valve and which type to get. The dealer says the float type makes it a little more difficult to move implements in small increments because the...

I am planning to mount a Superwinch Terra 45 to the front of my RTV 1140 CPX. I see the KFI mounting system available online for less than $50. As I recall the Kubota dealer wanted much more for a winch mount when I purchased the rig in Dec 2009. Has anyone here used the KFI mount? Any knowledge...

Has anyone mounted one of these (or maybe a different brand) on your RTV 900 or 1140? Any recommendations? Thanks, Terry

I am expecting delivery of one soon. I would love to hear of your experiences with this particular model. Thanks! ;) Terry

I am replacing hydraulic hose on my L5030HST. I had a local hydraulic shop build the replacement and am ready to install. My question is whether to be concerned about the air in the line. Do I bleed it off somehow, or just make sure the fluid levels are good and start using. Thanks for you...

It looks like I finally have to make a decision! I am supposed to be at the dealership (35 miles from my home) tomorrow morning to sign papers on one of these tractors. I was set on the 5030 HST and had not even thought about trying a GST model - never driven one before. Wow, I was impressed...

I will soon be purchasing a larger tractor (32-45 pto hp) and a few implements. I am planning to use a rotary cutter for clearing part of my 25 acres, but also plan to use it long term as a "finish" mower for about 8 acres. Very little of the brush, etc. that I need to clear is over 1 in dia...

Good evening, I posted this last night under a different subject title. Maybe it didn't catch your attention. Any information would be greatly appreciated! As part of my ongoing research for which of these tractors to purchase, I just realized Kubota probably prints in each manual a...

Greetings, As part of my ongoing research for which of these tractors to purchase, I just realized Kubota probably prints in each manual a recommended maximum size for each implement. I am particularly interested in the rotary cutter recommendations. I need a med duty cutter, at least 6 ft...

\"finish\" mowing with rotary cutter I have discovered that my "yard", which consists of about 9 acres, looks pretty good when I cut it with the rotary cutter. This is an area that wasn't cut routinely by the previous owner, but I would like for it to look nicer. I do mow a 1 acre area close...

I am in the process of purchasing a larger tractor and part of my future fun list includes post holes. The ground here in the Missouri Ozarks is often mostly rock. My BX22 backhoe will break through it and dig, but what a chore compared to the ground we had in southern Arkansas where I lived...
