Buying my husband a new Kubota RTV 1100 and looking for input

[swmitchell47a]

Good evening everyone. After watching my husband struggle for years plowing with his 17 year old Kawasaki mule, I am getting him a new Kubota 1100 RTV with the V plow. Our winding driveway is 600 feet long that empties into a large open area. We have a Kubota dealer near us and of course, the salesman talked up a storm about it's merits. We have not looked at any other brands.

I would love to hear from someone who owns one and what you think are good accessories to have (i.e., the screen on the back, mirrors, etc). Does the heater work good? Thanks to all of you.

We just got ours in a few weeks ago and love it. They aren't speed demons but plenty fast for us. We had the dealer add a 4K winch, radio, 2" lift kit and we had 27x11x12 itp blackwater tires sent to them for mounting.

Haven't had a chance to try the heater but the ac works great.

Have the original 2007 RTV1100 not sure how the new series compares but at least 4000lb winch, rear screen and some type of bed liner. Outside rear view mirrors help when reversing and front and rear auxiliary lights help lots with nighttime use. Once warmed up cab heat is very good and so is cooling in the summer. I added a remote starting relay to warmup on cold days. Never had use for a plow but get the one that has the power angle and lift.

I have a 2014 Kubota RTV X1100C with over 400 hrs. Options include radio, turn signals, bed liner, work tires with aluminum rims, visors. The heater and A/C both work very well. Haven't had any issues to date but there have been 2 Kubota recalls since I got mine. One was for a cover over the engine to minimize fire hazard and the other was to replace wheel hubs. A new machine should have both fixes. The cab is second to none in my opinion. I only wish it would go faster than 26 mph on a paved road along our 300 acres.
I don't think you can go wrong getting a Kubota RTV X1100C side by side.

I own a 2013 RTV1100. Mine is Camo and has bed liner, radio, rear steal screen, turn signals, and protection, rear light. I'd definitely get the bed liner. It's held up great, and has protected it like new. The cab is why I wanted it, I was after the AC, both heat and AC are great. Can't tell you how many baby goats I've saved in a warm cab while drying them off after kidding out in a icy pasture. The rear light is nice. If you are going to pull anything you'll need the rear window protection. It also protects glass if you stack wood or cuttings to haul. Just be careful when lifting bed to make sure your load clears it. If he's going to hunt with it go Camo. I've had zero issues.

Get the 1100 with cab AC/HEAT. I got the 1120 and while I bought it used with 20hrs on it I’m wishing I would’ve gotten the 1100
