2015 Kubota RTV1140CPX 4x4

Capt.Ron · Dec 4, 2020

I just purchased this unit through an auction site. Engine runs good, it's pretty clean but it seems the axles, brakes or something is seizing up on it. Seems to be mostly in the rear.
It takes a lot of throttle to make it go in forward or reverse.
Any ideas?

I assume you have checked the transmission oil level?

Capt.Ron · Dec 5, 2020

Not yet.
Probably should have but we were pressed for time when we picked it up.
Just trying to push it when in neutral, the rear wheels felt like the brakes were stuck.
Hoping to take a look at things tomorrow.

Found it.The brakes were not releasing completely.
Cleaned up the linkage enough to get them moving but I still need to dig in a little more.

Good news. And I hope the brakes are an easy fix!

I have the exact same model and year. Does yours look like this?
