Here is a Pic of the front. It really shows on The Wheel 4 more Inches.. 27" tires Next. I really think if the Kubota X-Series have a Aggresive tires they are almost un-

I'm guessing it set you back a pretty penny?

They are more $$ than your Typical Ranger or Mule. I Looked at all the competition and nothing is compared to the RTV-X. Quality is King. I also added quick Disconnect Swaybar Linkage to mine because they flex so much more with the Sway bars un-done. It's a Beast Now. Everyone is Complaining about the speed. Turbo Kit will fix all that soon. It's worth every penny.

Thanks. They really are... I was actually thinking about putting a Quick Disconnect Gooseneck in the bed to haul my empty trailers around. Just to park them without using my truck.

If you haven't done at least 15 different personalizations to your RTV, you aren't close to done with it yet:thumbsup:

I'll be following this thread, as I am looking at getting the exact same machine as yours. I'm hoping this year, but I won't be home until July and the wife may have other plans for our limited funds.
As far as the turbo increasing your top speed, not gonna happen. The speed limiting factor on the RTV isn't the motor, but the hydrostatic transmission. You'll get to your 29 mph. top end quicker with a turbo, but that will still be pretty much your limit. Don't get me wrong. The hydro trans is one of the main reasons I want a Kubota over the other brands out there. I don't need a speed demon, but I do need a reliable workhorse, and that's what the RTV delivers.

I Have a Buddy that has a RTV 900 with a SWAG Turbo kit and it gained 10mph From Stock. I would think that it would at least go 35mph. You also get full instructions on adjusting the Injection pump to advance the fuel. I know its not much, but the power is 50% more to the ground. I was thinking the SFS Specialties kit. SWAG doesnt make a kit for the New X-Series.
