2018 Kubota RTV-X1100C Review And Walkaround

[@pdid44569]

Whoever invented spin-on transmission filters is an absolute hero.

[@whisperingsheepfarms7895]

Ha! Exactly. Although changing the fluid in these monsters is not fun. My ZD326 I think is a little over 2.5 gallons fluid. Maybe right around 12 quarts. The filter is great but you better make sure you have a big oil pan when you pull the plug. 😂. Or at least invest in oil dry, pig mats, and be ready to swear a lot :)

[@Atvsrawsome]

Your going to LOVE it I have had mine for a little over a year now and it is absolutely amazing. Not super fast but works as hard as you like

[@Atvsrawsome]

I have the 1120 and it was something like 14k

[@Atvsrawsome]

Vincent Villani I have the 1120 I think it was around 14k

[@gr_nic]

Can you do trips with it? In my country its legal for a 15 yo to drive a tractor regustered atv such aa this, and i need to do trips with a fourwheeler like this in the winter

[@fatcatt3981]

What would be the top speed?

[@whisperingsheepfarms7895]

NiPsU MoTo you can get a street legal options for it including turn signals. I’m sure you could drive it for short trips no problem.

[@coreym5072]

Love it man. Bleed orange!! I’m a huge Kubota fan I will own nothing else. Have a L6060 and absolutely freaking love it

[@whisperingsheepfarms7895]

Corey Mogren me too! Got the ZD326 mower, a B3000 with 52” snow blower, LA403 loader, and several 3pt attachments, and now the 1100. Everything runs like a top and you can’t stop it. Almost 200 hours on the mower and all I do is change oil and sharpen blades.

[@michaelmactavish1728]

yeah im kubota fan to plus kubota rtvs and kubota tractors uses same engines and exesseries plus there great uses for farming,construction,landscaping, towns and city sidewalk and street maintance instead spending over priced holder c992 wich is $140,000 for the holder alone

[@michaelmactavish1728]

@Peter Apostolakos yeah im planing gonna be hooking the town maintance crew up for a kubota rtv 1100 c for sidewalk machine with spreader,sweeper,blade and snowblower to replace the holder c992 wich there about $140,000 just for the holder tractor alone wich the kubota rtv 1100c is way more less money then a holder

[@andrewstiegler4199]

Awesome I just bought a 2018 in Camo color and put Boss V Plow on it. I really like it.. You did great job with the video and detailed explanation

[@whisperingsheepfarms7895]

Andrew Stiegler how do you like that Boss plow? I have been pondering that as my next addition.

[@andrewstiegler4199]

I checked all the plows pout and still feel that its the best plow out there. Still waiting for significant cnowfall but great for pushing logs up to splitter. Controls for the boss are awesopme. I looked at Kubota plow too but didnt like the hydraulic set up. Like the boss one much better .

[@HoneyOdyssey]

Just brought an x1140 - haven’t taken delivery yet - but really excited. Thanks for the great video!

[@bobmcranor1049]

Best machine I’ve seen. My dad has one but my complaints are same as yours about the seats.

[@LatitudeDroneServices]

Great Overview Bill! Just got my BX2680 this summer and absolutely love it!

[@307cass]

Picking mine up next week. It is the Camo color.

[@whisperingsheepfarms7895]

Chris Parsons you will love it! Got over 120 miles on mine now and it’s awesome. Best money I ever spent.

[@craigstellling1081]

Nice review, have had mine for a month now. Great little machine and would buy again. Only issue that I have had was that the top radiator hose fell off. Just removed the cover behind the front radiator and slid it back on and tightend it up. Filled the radiator and cleaned it off. There should be more leg room and for the driver and passenger and seats vertical sitting position and gets a little tiring.

[@emrahcanbaydar]

Fuel cap should be key lockable. And i am shocked this rig has an AC. Have fun with the new toy :)

[@k123332]

I bot a kubota lawn mower and it was a heap. It had compressed brass particl wing nuts holding some parts together.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Excellent overview. Thanks!

[@timberridge1997]

Is the throttle control knob to the left of driver's seat standard or did you order it as an option? If it was standard, does it lock into any position you want? I ask because the one which is listed as an option does do that. The owner manual indicates that whatever comes standard is only for use in starting it up in cold weather.

[@pr4lviper]

More video?

[@masenmerchant1343]

my dad bought one he let me drive it it rides amazing only problem with it is how loud it is in the cab but thats when the RPMs are raised

Good video.. Where are the radio speakers located in this unit?

[@whisperingsheepfarms7895]

Mossy Mueller they are above the headliner, just back from the windscreen. One each on driver and passenger side.

[@Johnny0005]

Awesome you bought it from the same dealer I’m looking at. How long did it take to get after order ?

[@whisperingsheepfarms7895]

Lochen’s has treated me very well for a long time as this is my 3rd piece of Kubota iron. He had the machine in the warehouse but had to order the lights and the winch so it took me just over 3 weeks to get it by the time they got the parts and got them installed. No complaints. I have to plan to do a follow up video soon. 3 years in and still going strong.

[@clooperman3745]

@@whisperingsheepfarms7895 When reversing the X1100 C is it in high or low range? Looks a great machine, one of our gamekeepers has a John Deere Gator which l thought was good but this looks better, especially the position of the air filter box.

Where are the PTOS?

Where is the 2wd and 4x4 "controller" or what is it in english. Ps im from finland

[@turbulence8638]

Great video.

[@msgt1942]

Was wondering if the side bracket in the drivers side can be removed so that it can be easier to get in and out?

[@johnebert7625]

Bill, how long of hitch bar do you have for your machine? Thanks for posting.

[@whisperingsheepfarms7895]

I want to say it’s an 8” long one. I’ll have to check. It certainly could be longer. In the 6 months I’ve had it I’ve pulled several trailers and a Vermeer BC600 chipper all over our property with it. It pulls ok with the shorter hitch, but because it’s tucked in a little it makes turning sharp or backing a shorter tongue trailer up a little difficult because the trailer can run into you faster. I’d like to get one with a bit longer stick-out.

[@whisperingsheepfarms7895]

I was considering going out today to do a cold start video, since it’s -13F here today. :) if I venture out to the barn I’ll measure it.

[@johnebert7625]

[@johnebert7625]

@@whisperingsheepfarms7895 Do you happen to know the make of the hitch? Or would you recommend another hitch? Just picked up an 1100 for similar work needs and appreciated your video a great deal (thanks).

[@gpowerdragon9852]

freaking awesome it's like a go kart except with air conditioning and a lot of lights

[@skoal22005]

But does the AC work really well?

[@whisperingsheepfarms7895]

skoal22005 absolutely! On all my my Kubota equipment the AC works great and is cold right away. It will freeze you out even on 90+ degree days. Being a Diesel on my tractor I thought it would take forever to get warm, but even at below zero temps, in under 10 minutes I can be blowing snow in my shirt sleeves. Kubota has the HVAC figured out in these machines and in their tractor line.

[@skoal22005]

wow, Thanks. I'd really like one. I'll put it on the list. Thank you!

[@class8garage308]

24,567 it should have a spray on bed liner cost of a F350 Lariat with plow few years ago and thats fisher plow I mite say

[@Shade_Tree_Mechanic]

Why does it have 2 engine radiators? Extra cooling for when it's under load?

[@whisperingsheepfarms7895]

ryan byrne The engine radiator is the one up front. The one on the side behind the driver is actually the transmission/hydraulic cooler to cool all of the hydro parts.

I have the 1100 diesel 4wd and love it but it is difficult to shift back and forth between 2wd and 4wd. Is there a trick to doing this that I am missing?

[@roguescapes8198]

Hey Clarence, We are purchasing a new 1100c and this came up with us as well. Apparently there is an adjustment that can be made at the dealership that can make this smoother ( so says the salesperson). Give them a holler and see what shakes loose. Good luck!

[@sootrattlerolloff-road1415]

@@roguescapes8198 Brake pedal has a pressure-relief valve cable attached to it; essentially, depress the brake hard and the relief on the transmission bleeds-off the pressure, and you will be able to change the selector. I believe the early models actually had a knob you pulled on the dash. Anyway, if that pressure doesn't bleed off, the cable needs adjusted. The actual valve is on the rear-right of the trans (on the older 1100 as well as the 900...NOT the X1100c in this vid)...lubricate it regular and it will not fail you. If it wears-out, it's easy to replace. On ALL models, if the trans is getting hot, (likely won't be an issue on the newer x models...they have a fan-assisted trans-cooler) they will sometimes get sticky shifting, at which point you simply hold the brake, "Bump" the throttle/gas-pedal, while applying lite-pressure on the selector, and 99% of the time they will shit right in/out.

[@sootrattlerolloff-road1415]

Sorry...that was actually meant for a person asking about rough gear selector changing. Kubota loves their cables; and although the x-series is much better about it, there still is a bunch of debris/funk/mud that ends-up above the skid-plates and into the cables for everything, from the 4x4 selector, to the diff-lock. The panel beside the driver's seat with the two thumb-screws needs to be removed and sprayed out from time to time, or everything gets sticky and starts hanging-up. Then you need to spray lithium on the obvious pivots for those cables to keep them moving freely. Awesome machines but you MUST become acclimated with adjusting your cables or the dealership will eat you alive. If you are only getting 20 MPH or less out of your 'bota, it's a simple matter of adjusting the timing of you HST and throttle cables...they MUST max-out at the exact same time or you will not get maximum ground speed. It's very easy to adjust those cables for peak performance, and seldom are they right from the dealership.

i would hate to even use it to work buy any thing i get brand new it makes me cringe to use it for atleast a year... why.. the new ness of it lol a new toy you dont wanna break it or make it dirty ughh this thing is too nice for a little tractor

kubota rtv uses there kubota tractor engines on there rtv wich is a powerful and reliable engine

I’m the same way....every time I buy a new “toy”, I get crazy and don’t want scratches, dents, dirt, grease....I have guns that I still have in boxes lol, I have one of these RTVs coming tomorrow, and I have a new Jeep Gladiator Rubicon that I have sitting in my garage that I won’t drive unless it’s a perfect day😂😂....and I will get them “dirty” soon....just not right now....😁

Hey, Bill! My name is Dave and I work for Gongos, Inc. - a marketing research firm located in metro Detroit. We are conducting research on UTVs and would love to get your feedback. If you're interested please email me at [e-mail] for more information. We'd really appreciate the help - thanks!

[@oplintx]

DON'T BUY IF YOU ARE OVER 6' TALL. I've turned the key off with my knee many times in the same trip, and the AC Vents are ALSO in the knee area. Turning sideways is not comfortable if you are hauling a friend. If you are 5' this may be for you. The 1140 is much bigger on leg room. For the price it should have a good comfortable cab with plenty of room for larger guys.

[@fred2845]

Those things are stupid I built couple of those thing when worked for Kubota slow as ball really nothing good about it .you could buy Polaris ranger or Honda for work an u could save money to

[@Jimmyxsx]

Polaris sucks, we had one at the ranch and nothing but break downs. Nothing from polaris or honda has the reliability of that Kubota 3 cylinder diesel engine period.

[@dynamixhd3251]

Same, I love Kubota to death but would never buy one of these over a Ranger or Pioneer.

[@1001-u6r]

Kubota is built to last and work hard. Polaris and most others are made to run some trails, light duty work. They are prone to breakdowns and are money pits, sucking up money for replacement parts. Buy this machine for life. Buy the others if you want a disposable machine. People like the look and high speed of the other machines, so they assume they are better. If you want a long lasting work machine, buy a Kubota. That Kubota engine will last a lifetime if maintained property.
