Kubota RTV 900 can swim

[ovrszd]

It was the most serene and slow motion bad event I've ever had. I honestly had time to shut the machine down and step out on the back tire to hop back to shallow water. It's funny now. Not so much then.

I tipped the same Jeep over backwards falling off a 50ft high bluff landing on the top first then jumping in the air and landing on the driver's side. That was dramatic. I had to catch a plane to Atlanta the next day to attend a conference. Bruised up so much I could barely walk. Scabs all over the top of my head from glass cuts when my head tried to go thru the windshield. Bought five point harness and good seats after that.....

The most important part though is that you survived to tell about it.

Very Blessed indeed.

I had a similar runaway RTV 900 moment, although only destroyed a rotted out fence post, no water adventure.
I left the Kubota parked on a slight incline in H without the parking break on.
Lesson learned the incline overcame engine compression, and from then on I always Should set the brake!
Fence post was the only damage.
