Boy - not a lot of activity on this thread. I posted the above comment in March and that's all that's been posted since then until my post today. I'll answer my own post. I had the PTO/ Sowblower added and enough of the PTO can be removed to install the grille guard.

I have a RTV-X1100C with the 72" V Plow (V5295A) that includes the 4 point hitch and power supply (V5293A). One thing I do like about this set up is that in the summer I can completely remove the plow and hitch/power unit and reinstall the front grille guard with the optional adapter. I've been...

Thanks for the reply. The manual shows a range on the dipstick that is acceptable. If the 4.3 quart is the top of the range then what would the lower portion of the range represent as less than 4.3 quarts? Only diesel I have Not sure if keeping a container that's been open would be a concern...

Speaking of being **** retentive I have a question. Getting ready for the first oil/filter change on my RTV-X1100C which takes 4.3 quarts of oil according to the manual. The oil I buy - Hot Shot Green Diamond - is only sold in one gallon containers. So is it necessary to buy an additional...

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...

Little late with a reply. I have the 78" Kubota V Plow - I ordered spare steel cutting edges but they were the same part # for each side - curious why there're listed as passenger and driver side on your list - maybe they are the same part #. Also curious on how fast a poly cutting edge will...

Yes - purchased on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kubota-9-Pin-Male-Plug-Radio-Wire-Harness-Tractor-RTV-CD-Player-Dash-Stereo-1/183772214479?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

My RTV-X1100C was delivered at the end of January but one of the options ordered not installed was the front mud guards - was told they were back ordered. It's going on almost two months and still no front mud guards. I've checked with them and still no ETA. Installation was included in the...

I used to post here quite a bit but haven't done so in about six years. I have a 2004 RTV900W that I bought new that now has about about 500 hours on it - used mostly for snow plowing. The maintenance schedule requires that a plug on the muffler be unscrewed and removed every 100 hours and...

I panicked this morning as I started to do my annual oil and filter change. I've been using Mobil 1 10W-30 for years but when I looked at the new bottle I noticed that it no longer carried a diesel rating - in the past it had a CD or CE rating - can't remember exactly but it was suitable...

I've been using my RTV900 to plow now for seven winters and just had the A Frame break. Luckily it didn't do any other damage like rip off a hydraulic line for the angle control. I've been tying to find a replacement on-line as my dealer doesn't stock these things and would probably take weeks...

Has anybody actually followed Kubota's two year maintenance schedule for the RTV900? Some of the required items: * Replace fuel line * Replace radiator hose and clamp * Replace power steering oil line * Relace intake air line * Replace master cylinder inner parts * Replace remote hydraulic...

Here's some info that I found at the Carver Equipment Kubota web site: RTV900Hydr They're selling it for about $13,000 - lists for $14,700. I've attached some photos of the available Kubota tools they posted as well. The tool runs from $1,300 to $2,300 each - yikes!

On one of the other web sites I read that Kubota is adding a knob for a "hydro dump" on the dash of the 2006 RTV900. Can someone explain what's this used for? Thanks

I was at the Curtis Cab/Plow Company in Worcester the other day buying some replacement parts for my Curtis plow. I found this brochure in the lobby and thought it might be of some interest to the people who tool around in their Club Cars. BTW, I thought that it was kind of ironic that Higgins...

Farm Industry News has a UTV comparison on-line: http://farmindustrynews.com/mag/farming_load_warriors/ They let ten farmers compare ten different UTV's. My pesonal favorite - the Kubota RTV900 - came in third but then I have different needs than a farmer.

Sorry - this isn't for the US but it seems that you can make the RTV900 street legal in England. Most interesting are the bucket seats, lights and side mirrors. I've attached a jpeg of the specific page and here's the link for the whole British pdf...

This is a follow up to a post I did last Feb when I noted: "Last year, when there was only one wiper kit available, it had the Kubota sales #V4215 and I assume everyone would put in on the driver's side. This year they're offering two kits - one for the driver's side, #V4267, and one for the...

Looks like Kubota has updated their RTV900 website: http://www.kubota.com/f/products/rtv.cfm There's also a coupon there for $200 worth of accessories if you buy an RTV900 by 6/30: http://www.kubota.com/f/products/RTVcoupon.pdf

I discovered that if you order all the individual parts for the RTV900 glove box it only cost $42.85. You'll have to assemble it yourself but there really isn't much to it. I've attached the parts list with the quantity and prices for each item. Tractorsmart allows you to order the parts...

I've seen the lift motor for the RTV900 (Curtis) plow listed as "electric over hydraulic" in several posts but when I did some searching on this it turns out that it isn't. It's actually a electric/mechanical set up with a acme screw doing the lifting. There's a stainless steel tube covering the...

I've been running my Kubota/Curtis plow with the shoes in the up position so only the cutting edge has been contacting the ground. Then I noticed that the outside edges were wearing faster than the middle. Could this be because I usually run the blade at an angle therefore wearing the leading...

I was looking at the Carver Equipment web site: http://www.carverequipment.com/kubota_rtv_900_utility.htm and noticed that they have a listing for: Hydraulic Angle Kit - V4207 $475.00 in the box for V4208 Blade Hydraulic Angle Kit - V4207(I) $600.00 installed for V4208 Blade I doubt this is...

Kubota is now exporting the RTV900 to Australia: http://kubota.com.au/news/default.asp?ne_id=30 Doesn't appear they made it right-hand drive. Edit - Looks like they're only offering the Worksite model with a choice of tires. Edit 2 - Excuse me - that should be tyres, not tires.

ATV Illustrated finally updated their web site and it now contains the review of the RTV900 they did last July: http://www.atvillustrated.com/atv_reviews/Kubota/review.html

OK - this is not directly related to ATV/UTV's but it is equipment related. This is from a PowerPoint presentation making the rounds at work. I'll have to add seven posts to include the whole presentation. First attachment is the number 7 reason women live longer than men

I installed an oil heater on my RTV900 yesterday - see attachment. I've already put these Wolverine stick on oil heaters on two of my cars over the last several years and they have definitely shorten the warm up times. Even though it wasn't that cold this morning I plugged in the heater for...

I was bouncing around the web looking for RTV900 items of interest and came upon: http://www.plowsite.com Under the Picture Forum (you'll have to register) there's a post of a Blizzard plow for the RTV900. It says that it's 80 wide. I've attached a copy of the photo. I couldn't find any...

OK - I know I'll take some heat for being cheap, but I bought one of those 2000lb SuperWinch lookalikes on Ebay. What a deal - $59 plus $25 shipping and that includes the mounting plate and fairlead. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2490998382&category=43984 The...

It being the Labor Day weekend and really nothing else to do I decided to do a little customizing on my RTV900. I had seen pictures of the orange doors for the cab on prototype RTV900's but learned (on this web site) that Kubota decided to go with black for the production models. While the black...

It's been mentioned several times on this forum about the seat restraint cable that Kubota is now installing on the RTV900. I was at my dealer today looking at two new RTV900 arrivals and noticed that there are also some other minor tweaks that Kubota is making at the factory. There is now a...

I had the 72" Curtis plow installed on my RTV900. It has two skid shoes on the bottom. Right now they come no where near touching the ground when the scrapper blade (listed as cutting edge in manual) is resting on the ground. Is the object to adjust the shoes so the scrapper blade is just off...

Here's a question for people like Dozernut and Flyingn about their cab/plow installation: Did your dealer return the stock springs to you after installing the heavy duty set? My dealer is picking up my RTV900 on Monday to do the cab/plow/etc. installation. I'm not sure if getting the stock...

New kid on the block: http://www.suzukicycles.com/Products/QUV620FK5/Default.aspx What could the "Q" stand for? A mule by any other name would still smell like a mule - at least if it was built by Kawasaki.

After about 13 hours of tooling around in my RTV900, I've got a couple of minor questions that maybe someone on the discussion board might be able to shed some light on: 1. The illustration in both the owner's manual and the workshop manual show the oil dipstick to be sort of round with a flat...

There's a auction on ebay for a RTV900 workshop manual. If I hadn't already purchased one myself I probably wouldn't be spreading this around. If some of you already knew about this and were hoping to get in an exclusive bid at the end - I'm sorry...

If you check the Kubota RTV900 website every now and then you'll notice that they are constantly making changes to what accessories are available: http://www.kubota.com/UV900/accessory/index.html The latest changes: The thumbnails for the hard and soft cab are now shown as being black instead...

Here’s a tip that’s posted on the Kubota Canadian website: "Are there any 'operating methods' on Hydrostatic transmissions you can share? With a hydrostatic transmission (HST), as your traction load increases (i.e. pulling a heavy load, operating with a loader in a dirt pile, pulling a trailer...

That black plug in the dash where the speedometer goes was bothering me on my worksite model - the speedometer is only standard equipment on the Rec version - so I decided to install one myself. I bought the kit from Tractorsmart.com for $65 plus $5 shipping. I had tried a few other vendors but...

What a great parts department at Tractorsmart.com. I always like to get the parts and service manual when I get a new piece of equipment. I plugged in the number for the RTV900 parts manual at Tractorsmart.com and ordered it for about $40. I got an email back from Joseph in the Parts Department...

Just took delivery of a RTV900 today - better than anticipated. I attached a jpeg of the delivery. The tech who delivered said to change the oil after 5 hours and to use 15W-40. The manual doesn't mention a 5 hour oil change and the only oil mentioned in the manual is either 10W-30, 10W-40 or...

It's surprising to see a big company like Kabota miss a typo on their flash presentation. If you go to: http://www.kubota.com/UV900/spotlight/index.html and click on the "Powerful Engine" icon it brings up a box that says the D902 is a 4 cylinder engine. I think they meant to say 4 cycle...
