RTV900 Utility Vehicle

[scottg]

This looks like a great machine. I have used a Kawasaki Mule quite a bit. The Kubota has power steering and 3 ranges, the Mule does not. Also, the Kubota is supposed to hold back much better downhill. This was a big problem with the mule.

Does anyone know the price? Below is the link and pic is attached.

If you go the Main Index and page down, you'll find the discussion forum titled Related Equipment , and under that heading, a sub heading called ATV's & Utility Vehicles . This is a discussion forum dedicated to ATV's and similar types of equipment.

I know I saw a thread in that forum discussing the prices of the RTV900. Go there and check it out! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have run it, i sell them , and i have some for sale.

Its completly unlike anything else and is well worth the money. As for holding back on hills, because its a hydrostatic transmission it holds back whenever you let off the gas, even on flat ground. Its just like driving a hydro tractor except much faster. I would love to have one of my own.

Thanks Golfgar4, I will check it out.

Scott,
i just went to the NY farm show this weekend. Looked hard at these kind of vehicles. Landpride has a new articulated one that seemed interesting, Bobcat machine is very nice, but the Kubota blew them all away. Even my wife thought it was no contest. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif All 3 of these ran about $10k plus list price. I thought either Kubota was going to raise prices soon or the others were going to have to drop theirs. It seems big at first, the ROPS is good sized on this unit, looks like it is ready for some real work, I am waiting for some reports on the off-road capabilities. Previously I had been looking at a Mule or Ranger.

Had a fellow tell me that when coming down a hill that he wouldn't try and walk up that he wished he had fastened his seat belt. Said the hydro did the bulk of all the braking while coming down the hill.

I finally got to look at one of these. They are built!!!! All I need is 10 big ones and I will have one in the yard. But I think I have a beter chance winning the lotto. The CEO has really tightened the noose!! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I know what you mean about wanting one. I plan to sell it to the CEO/CFO as a means of saving her time in doing things and hauling things she carries. I figure this will be a very "long" sales job!

Don't fall out your chairs...........


My CEO wants one, I cannot seem to come up with the funds.
What kind of rates is Kubota offering, and I am taking donations,

Will consult for RTV.
