Thanks for asking, but no, I have not had any luck. I used the RTV today to haul some bricks, mortar, and other stuff for laying some bricks. It is just darn stiff to get the thing out of gear on flat ground, not to mention on a hill. I have zero problems getting it to easily go into gear. It just flat does not want to come out. I'm about ready to physically threaten my local Kubota dealer to get them to work on it. I'd mentioned before that my local Kubota dealer is less than helpful to me. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif If you have any other ideas, I'm certainly open for suggestions.
Taking the good and bad together, I still definitely like the RTV better than any of the competitors models. The closest would be the HPX in my opinion. However, even my JD dealer agreed with me that dollar for dollar, the HPX diesel does not have what the Kubota has. Also, my local JD dealer is light years ahead of my local Kubota dealer on helping their customers and in service. I like the looks of the HPX better, and the JD dealer has better service. That being said, it says a lot about my satisfaction with the quality and value of the RTV to not consider going to the HPX diesel; especially after being a life long JD customer!
