    Need Help Replacing Broken RTV 1100 Window

    Sure enough I started my lawn mower near my RTV 1100 and shot a rock through the window. Yay! I bought the window from Kubota $134, not bad. I need help on figuring out how to install it. It is a 2008 model with the full, non sliding glass. There is a rubber gasket that the glass fits into...

    New M7040 HDC-1 with R4s

    Here is my new New M7040 HDC-1 with R4s to replace an L48. I went with the R4s as the R1s are just too agressive for what I use it for, landscape construction, farm chores, mowing, plowing, and utility work. Much bigger than a L48 which I have parked in front of it for comparison. The front...

    Rear (In Dump Body) RTV Seats

    Anyone have rear seats in their RTV? I see a few available through aftermarket parts suppliers. I want to put a set in my RTV1100 bed to haul people around my farm. Hopefully there are some available with quick attach so I can take them out and use the bed when I want.

    Hoping for delivery tomorrow of a new M7040 HDC-1!! Yay! Sold 1 of my L48s which had a HST problem and took the opportunity to get one of these. I have been wanting a cab tractor bad and since I already have another new L48 I went for this. I went cab, R4s, single remote, no radio, or...

    Tier 4 Machines

    Looked at new machines yesterday, specifically M7040, M59, and the M8560/9660. The new emmission stuff is scary to contemplate buying. I have a newer Ford F450 dumper with all the emmission stuff and wish it didn't and now looking at tractors I feel the same way. The last batch of M7040s...

    Broken HST/ No Reverse= HUGE $ to Fix!

    I lost reverse on a L48, was told it is probably a relief valve since forward worked fine. Got a call from the dealer saying it is something inside. Was quoted $4,800 just to split the tractor and then over $4,000 in parts just to start. YIKES!!!!!!! Almost $10K+ to fix a tranny? I am...

    Lost Reverse on HST

    This past snow storm I lost reverse on my L48. Response between forward and reverse had been getting slower recently then all of a sudden, no reverse. Machine has almost 2,000 hours and fluids/filters have been changed recently. Linkages are all OK. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    RTV 1100 Speakers

    Are there speakers built into the cab lining/roof of the 1100? I have a RTV 1100 that someone had installed a car radio in but the roof speakers arent attached. I hear there is some adapter out there that allows Kubotas wiring harness to make car radios compatable. Any suggestions would be...

    Lost / New RTV Keys

    Soooooo I lost my keys to the RTV1100, or the kids hid them. After a week, I thought I was screwed and would have to get a new cyclinder or whatever. Nope $6 per key, so I bought 4. Did you know they were all the same?

    Bent Quick Attach

    Was moving a pallet of wood with a L48 when 1 side of the QA popped out and I continued to curl the forks. Result: Badly bent QA. The main member supporting the QA is a round tube and that just twisted about 3/4" which was enough to make the 2 QA "ears" distort by about 4"+. The part is...

    Pics of 2 L48s=L96

    Attached are some pics I took this morning of my 2 L48s. I don't have the hoe on and I didn't time to bring out the KX121-3 for a family portrait. I will do so this spring. The new L48 is absolutely beautiful, brand spanking new.....only for a little while. I already had to scavange the new...

    Any Issues Using Other Peoples/ Rental Attachments?

    Are there problems mixing fluids among machines, aka Bobcat or other machines which are non-super UDT. I am weighing rear remotes on the new L48 which I have no Hyd. attachments for (yet) and want to know if I should even consider contaminating my machines with other fluids. Changing the fluid...

    Tracked Skid Steer-High Operating Costs/ Tracks

    I have read numerous threads on damage to tracked machines and how expensive they are to repair. I have heard of $15k repairs after 1,000 hours!!!! Rollers, sprockets, tracks, idlers, drive motors.....Yikes!!! Seems unreasonable. I would never buy one for those reasons unless I had a...

    2 L48s = L96!

    Just dropped a deposit on my second L48 before the new M59 comes out. I fretted and dithered all summer but I think I did the right thing. The reasons are: 1- have existing new L48 with custom hyd. thumb which can swap back and forth. 2 hoes would not pay for itself having an excavator. 2-...

    2005 L48 with Hydro. Thumb Review

    Review of New L48 with Hyd. Thumb. My new 2005 L48 was delivered last week and I have put about 15 hours on it so far. I opted for the hyd. Thumb option from an equipment fabricator as I had heard so much about how useful they are. The machine is a beast for sure. The backhoe with the 24”...

    L48 vs L5030

    I just bought a new L48 in N.H. even though I was only looking at the L series. When you look at the prices for a L5030 with the BH90, you are only $2,500 away from the L48 which is twice the machine in so many ways. The extra cash over a very long time is worth the additional cost of the L48...
