new kubota RAC system for RTVs --

[Unregistered2013]

-- for the 900 and 1100 -- etc --

very expensive (starting at $600-$800 for just the frames) -- and add-ons are $$$ --

-- plus you have to drill in to the bed --

-- plus you add width on the vehicle --

-- plus i think it affects the dump-bed function --

pricing can be found on "build my kubota" at kubota.com under RTVs --

-- worth a look --

here's what i got from kubota --

Good info..Thanks. I'd also like to see them come up with a reasonably priced (HA!) bed mounted too box that is fairly narrow as to not eat up too much space.

Years ago on a utility cart lease at the golf course I take care of we got one on a cart.* It's about 3' long, maybe 18" tall, and about 8" front to back.* It's shaped like the side rail ones for pickup trucks so it dont take up much bed space.* Might not be exactly what you're looking for, but it works good for me(it seemed to be missing when the lease ended and the cart was returned )

That's what I'm looking for. They run around $250...A little heavy on the price. I'm just surpised by the loack of on board storage on the 1100. There should be much more beyond just that little area under the seat.

I came across a toolbox at Rayside Truck & Trailer a few years back. It measures 57" long, 13" wide, and 13" tall. It's black it fits great and does not hang out on the sides.

I'm a designer at the company that developed the RTV RAC system, I'm not advertising, I just want to make sure your concerns are answered.

1. It doesn't effect the dumping capability of the RTV.

We specifically designed the RTV RAC system to allow you to dump your bed with the RAC system on it. You can have it fully loaded and accessorized, and still dump it the you normally would. We designed so that gear can be placed on the outside of the rac system and your payload (gravel, dirt, etc.) can be dumped without having to rearrange your gear.

2. You do have to drill into the top edge of the bed, its 6 holes, but it installs very quickly.

3. It doesn't add width to the kubota RTV.

It's a couple inches wider than the roll cage, but it's the same width as the body. Then roll cage is just mounted narrower than the body, which makes the RAC system look wider.
