Great review of the machine. I am a technician for a kubota dealer in oklahoma, been there for almost 2 years and i went to a certification class on our 850 sidekicks. The one major thing we discussed and trained on fkr sidekicks is since they are built more for speed reaching 40mph you lose power when loaded. Now there is an adjustment that can done for that, say you want more pulling power when loaded and to climb hills better the hydrostat can be adjusted allowing you more torque and power but it will reduce your take off speed and vise versa more speed less power. This adjustment can also be done on your X1140 just take it to your dealer and ask to have it done i dont recommend customers doing it themselves as the adjustment is very touchy and you need a pressure gauge for the adjustments. Now one thing i cannot say for certain is that while the machine is still under warranty if they will allow that kind of adjustment to be made or not. It may void the warranty if any issue occurs after making such adjustment or it may depend on how lenient your dealer is. Hope this helps you or just gives you some more insight on how the hydrostatic drive works. Overall i stand by our equipment and a BIG portion of the quality of any machine in my opinion is how well its treated by customer and maintained. Keep up with your services and keep fresh clean fuel running through it and she will treat you well they are a workhorse and built to last. Keep up the good reviews and making great videos!

My grandfather was about to buy a Polaris. But he chose kubota. He did his research and went and got a used 2009 Kubota. He loves it. One day we were using it to clear the skating rink on the pond (bad idea) and my uncle drove it on by accident and sunk it! We took it out and it started. It’s been just fine other than the water freezing up the axles in the winter lol. Great machine. Handed the ruts, bumps, snow, and hills on our 70 acre property.

I rode around on an rtv 900 and it's so nice. The machine is super solid and the hydro drive is really torquey. It did great in the mud and I was able to get it out when I did finally get stuck in some really deep mud. It also had really strong engine braking because of the hydrostatic drive and I never had to use the brake pedal once. The one I rode in did great in everything except for top speed which doesn't really matter for the type of stuff I was doing in it and it was a pretty old one with over 5000 hours on it. The Diesel engine also started easily and ran great

Make sure you have the Kubota dealer replace the suspension control arm bushings (yes, you WILL be replacing them) with the proto type brass control arm bushings when the time comes. Kubota is very quietly these fielding for customers who are wearing them out. I have had to replace my control arm bushings 2 years in a row. My dealer brought in the Kubota rep. who thought I might be abusing my RTV x1100c until he looked at it and saw that it looked like it just came off the show room floor. We use our Kubota RTV almost exclusively for beekeeping approx. 100 hives and DO NOT abuse it. The factory rep then told me about Kubota knowing about this problem and having a few 100 prototype brass bushings made. I suspect hauling significant but within design limit weight (which a farm vehicle DOES) is causing the control arm bushings to prematurely wear out. STILL, I LOVE my Kubota! It has been a fantastic machine and am considering purchasing an RTV x1140 next. Oh yeah, almost forgot, go for the Kubota approved 2 inch lift and 28 inch tall tires. I did and love it. No more dragging the rear hitch crossing creeks and much better ground clearance without having to have issues stepping into the cab. Much appreciate the review! 👍

Fascinating machine. I like what I saw. Now if you could get kabota orange seats…. I went and looked at the brochure on line. I would probably choose a configuration like yours. Add a rear bumper and extra lights up high. And include a wench. I really like the bed passenger conversion feature. How stout is the hydrostatic transmission in this application? Do you need to worry about burning it out like you CVT belt drive transmissions? I would like to see a 30 to 35 mph top speed. 20 to 25 seems to be a little frustratingly slow at times. And maybe 30 to 40 hp. Just a little extra oomph.

I'm in central va so fairly similar weather in the winter those tires will hold you back in the sticky mud. Those sway bars are nice if you plan to drive it on the road but for off roading they will hold you back. We use 3 mule sx around our farm. They all have 2" lifts with extremely aggressive mud tires. we have never gotten them stuck that the diff lock couldn't solve. And they are cheap about half the price and have a lot of the same features as the kabota plus being able to fit in the bed of a truck if you have the 2 seater.

Well done, thorough review. One note: as I understand it, the diff lock is only for the rear. You said it "locks all four wheels together", but I think it's really only 3 of the 4 (assuming the 4WD is engaged). If you were just in a short slippery spot, you could two-foot the pedals to use it locked and in 2wd, or for more prolonged use you can use the hand control and 4WD shifter. The lack of front locker and lower speeds are what make this sit between a skid steer and the more trail-oriented UTVs. They still offer their hydraulic PTO option for snow plows, etc., but they apparently stopped doing some really cool things like the hydraulic chainsaw.

I like Kubota products but never been a fan of the utv. Where I work at we have one probably a 2014-15 year model diesel and it just rides super rough. Also for me it just wasn’t a comfortable seat. This one you are have on demo has a different seat so looks like they have addressed that and hopefully they address the ride as well. Good luck and hope you enjoy this machine if you purchase.

Yep...I think the older models had solid rear axles...this is all independent suspension...rides nice

Good to hear. I’ve got a can am that I’m very happy with only 2 years old. Pros is ride is unbelievable, quiet, good bed size and plenty of space. Haven’t had a single issue but I’d prefer the Kubota hydrostatic to the belt system. If they made a 4 seater like this when I was in the market for one I would have definitely seriously looked at this machine.

Can you do an update of the X1140 doing some off-road maneuvers like mud bog, ravine descent and hill climb to show its limits. All the videos I’ve seen are work on flat ground mostly.

We just bought it so you'll see real world action...not mud bogging it but working it!

Stoney Ridge Farmer Thanks Josh. We looked at one after watching your review. I’m just worried it won’t make it up and down some of the acute ravines we have with mud at the bottom on our back 30 acres. We will use if for work around our small farm and field prep for hunting. Love your channel by the way!

Did you make it over the full dirt pile during your test (where Mrs. Stoney Ridge said it was at it's limit)?

@@RidgeLife So....no UTV would go over that pile...it's 8 feet tall and 10 feet wide...it would get high centered. I see no issues what so ever with power and agility....I'm not gonna take my brand new piece of equipment and bury it in the mud either. I see no difference in where this would go and where the gator would go.....aside from this machine is a little bigger, longer, stronger, slower, more powerful pulling and seats more people. There's no where on my farm I wouldn't take it. Of course it's not gonna go over a dirt pile with a steep peak....especially loose dirt...stay tuned I'll do a full on comparison video

Stoney Ridge Farmer awesome! We are negotiating on a price for one as well! Thanks for the great info. Yours is the best review out there. Can’t wait for the follow up!

Very nice, should last for many years if you maintain it, and I know you will.
