Diesel Side by Side On Tracks!? (Kubota RTV X1100C)

[@RobinRK1962]

Two kids having fun together... great way to grow old without getting old 👍❤

[@cdalton3169]

So cool, guys! We own the x900 tired version. Now she has 4,000 miles and almost 3,000 hours. Nothing but rough, mountain, pasture, mud hours! Bought it in 14. Best workhorse we’ve ever owned; on the third set of tires - heavy machine. Use it daily for work and fun. But if you stick it, you need a truck or winch to pull it out. Great video! Ha!

[@danielniquette5187]

I own a RTV 900 2006 with Camso tracks (Tatoo has they called it proviously) that I use in snow only, although they are four season. I live in Quebec (north east Canada) where the snow quantity is similar to what we see in this video. This setup is unstopable. I hauled 16 foot logs in deep snow with it. I clean trails for snowmobiles. I do all kind of work and rides, never got stuck. One thing to mention is the RTV have a differential lock for the rear weels. That makes it virtually impossible for it to lose traction in (almost) any circumstances. The secret here is that the ground clearence is so high that the snow is packing under the tracks before it can pack under the floor. The only down side is that it is very slow. But for work or to make sure you will get where you need to go, it's the perfect setup.

[@MainvilleATV]

Yeah, they make a good machine that's for sure!

[@waynetaylor4469]

Do you run tracks year round? I’m in Oregon & wondering how this would do in mud during our rainy season?

[@michelfrechette3430]

Denis Niquette Avez vous des vidéos de votre machine en action

[@MainvilleATV]

Oui, plusiers :)

[@holden_fella]

such cheerful and fun people you are, it's the most enjoyable experience watching other people having fun ever!

[@MainvilleATV]

Very nice of you to say, thanks!

[@bahluviensis]

There's a noticeable chemistry between you two, and this add to the whole test drive a very nice&sweet touch. Complements from Bucharest !

[@MainvilleATV]

Thank you so much! And wow that's insane, all the way from Bucharest. Never been there. Thanks for watching! - Cass

[@shaunflynn]

Great machine! I have a Yamaha Viking VI with tracks...usually get through hell and back...but I got stuck in the woods on my property the other day...a good 4 ft. deep and hit a real soft spot and sunk right down. Tracks would turn but couldn't go anywhere. Had to dig all around then clear out the compressed snow underneath so I had clearance to move. Winches I don't think would have got me out on their own! Lesson learned...carry a shovel or two... long walk back to the garage to get the damn shovels! I like that RTV-X1100C for the fact that you can add a snowblower, sweeper or a blade. Might have to trade my Yammy in one day soon!

[@Gixzer04]

Those diesels are very strong. More snowmobile clubs need to start realizing the grooming potential these units have. Turbo models are available too. Tracks are an incredible upgrade and offer so much more.

[@robinbargo4417]

Own the identical side by side but without the tracks. Use if for snowplowing with the Kubota v-plow awesome work machine pushed a ton of snow this Winter

[@michaelcollins8718]

I was torn between the Kubota 1100C and the Can-An Defender DPS Cab for the farm. I love my Kubota tractor but I ended up going with the Can-Am. The speed and cab features of the Can-Am sold me. Still love the Kubota 1100C

[@barbaradobry6430]

You both look like you were having so much fun! Love it!!!

[@knottide64]

I love my 1100C. It does only top out at 25 mph, but it pulls like a tank!

[@danielgunion7748]

Not something I have room for to put to full use . But most certainly enjoyable to watch it walk through all the snow. Very interesting.

[@MainvilleATV]

Oh I hear you! Oddly therapeutic

[@stevenmassey7586]

Love those tracks, of course only once in my life have we had enough snow for them in Alabama, blizzard of 93. I still want them tho 😁🤣

[@tonymarrazzo354]

First time on your channel - what a hoot! I have a RZR 4 seater with tracks and it is a blast! I REALLY like this Kubota....... I want a heated cab...

[@MainvilleATV]

Welcome to the channel, Tony!

[@TheHighKirk]

Entertaining, enjoyable and informative. - Part of having the toys is playing around with them.

[@Jacob-zd4gj]

I have a Arctic cat prowler 1000 with tracks. It will go just about anywhere I point it. I do off-road recovery with it. Pulling snowmobiles out of tree holes and even cars out of the snow up in the mountains.

[@RandomNEGuy]

FWIW, I have had Camso tracks on my x1100C for 3 years now - - absolute game changer. Highly recommend the hand throttle to keep engine RPMs up regardless of pedal pressure. Also, have had to make adjustments for front implements as the tracks stick out more than the wheels.

[@kitn1mcc]

I have had one for 4 years now with a 72inch v plow. It works great for plowing and can push some major snow. I am in CT we get some wet stuff here i have gotten it stuck trying to push out sidewalks were the city trucks have throw there stuff. I also use it at my lake in upstate NY and can load the bed with wood and go up an high angle hill with ease

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

Awesome video. Looked fun.

[@johnsears3376]

I have a Kubota RTV 900 - but no snow around my area! Love the way that thing gets around in that much snow! Yea the diesel is kind of like a tractor - but it gets the job done!

[@johnkovalchick6218]

We're did you get the tracks for your Kubota

[@Craftmaster37]

WELL DONE! As a Kubota owner this is spot on, Its a tractor!

[@Nevertrustalawyer]

With a snowblower, you might have something!

[@gggag8979]

Just pick-up the same machine for our huntcamp cant wait for the snow ... great 👍 video

[@curtisthornton5280]

Does the front tracks flip up for driving over logs, snow etc

[@MrAllegiant1]

I have the same set up. Love the video. Love the fact that you said slowest thing we have, but another level of fun. So true. I have installed a stereo with subs and LED bars. How have the tracks done for you?

[@MainvilleATV]

This unit belonged to the owner of our local kubota dealer and it is still going strong!

[@wagontrack]

Good video.. slow but comfy at 61 I don't need air time. should work great for ice fishing.

[@knowltek]

What the oversized w the tracks...length within an hight plus ground clearance ...thanks

[@LeBlancfirewood]

Just bought a 900 2010 665 hrs love it

[@ronsmith6662]

That thing may be slow, but who cares if takes you anywhere you point it. And you could pack a LOT of gear for a weekend getaway. Nice video.

[@MainvilleATV]

Right? Unreal toy!

[@yveskc1]

First of all, I am a tracks guy. Every thing with tracks will turn me on...🤐 I think you gave this Kubota justice and a honest opinion. Just rethink your trip to Mexico with it, the dump box is nice but not big enough to hide a entire Mex family!

[@MainvilleATV]

I've always liked a challenge, hahaha

[@albertodias5900]

We use this exact setup at our park for making ski trails. Every season somthing in the drive line snaps.

[@medjoolmaker]

Something breaks? More detail...???

[@albertodias5900]

Drive line, transfer case, differential or something. Thats all I know.

[@hammerheartdan6311]

20 year old me would of hated the idea of this thing.... 34 year old me wants a diesel kubota SxS with tracks cause it looks fun as heck 😂

[@MainvilleATV]

Exactly my thoughts lol!

[@adamchicoski5284]

You should get tracks for yours

[@olsenhoogendoorn8560]

Did you turbo that

[@Canopus68]

If you have a real need for speed in the snow and deep deep pockets you can get a Ripsaw. Their out of ME. Top speed in their two seat model is around 70mph..That's really hauling on tracks! The cab is closed, with insulation, heat and shock mounted so it's comfortable to ride in. The power is a Chevy engine push around 400hp. As I said if you have the money they will build a custom unit for you. I have an old Kubota 900 RTV. It ain't fast, but with tracts it goes great in the snow. I use it to haul cord wood.

[@martinbrunet9120]

We are all little kids with machines and love the video wish we would get that much snow in sudbury and love the kubota its awesome and i dont know if its just me but theres something with crossing deep water with an atv that is awesome.

[@ramtough4384]

You put a snowblower on that, you will have a true no fu$%^&*# around snow tank. God I want one !!! That's is the machine, you smile when the weatherman says up to two feet of snow in a single drop. With the toys you guys play with, if you are willing to adopt, let me know, haha. Stay safe!!!

[@MainvilleATV]

Its a confidence builder, no doubt! Sadly, I wont be adopting anything but more toys in the near future haha

[@ramtough4384]

Couldn't hurt to try

[@michaelanthony5335]

I love mine. But , it’s heavy and the winch is handy in back country .

[@eddygoodwin7089]

does the motor ever bog down with tracks on it?

[@MainvilleATV]

Never experienced that myself, no

[@bear9923]

HAVE A KUBOTA UTV AND SKID STEER SSV75 2019. BOTH ARE THE LOUDEST/NOISIEST PIECE OF EQUIPMENT I'VE EVER OWNED, AND I'VE HAD MANY OF EACH FOR MY LINE OF WORK. EAR MUFFS ARE A MUST. IN THE SKID STEER, FOREGET HEARING THE RADIO. NOT A PLEASANT WORK OR PLAY ENVIRONMENT

[@lesleyboeder1798]

I have the 900 cc diesel and find i loose power climbing hills .it will almost come to a stop. Any ideas.it has less then 1500miles on it .still new

[@deadnorth8333]

Really liked the kubota a lot but the slow top speed killed it for me.Still a hellva machine

[@07decker]

I agree, on the too slow part, but anything other than a snowmobile that is on tracks won't get your adrenaline going.

[@williammcfarland3830]

Nice rig for getting the work done that's for sure,enjoy the fun while you can and take advantage of that crown land :)

[@jimmygraham5693]

Very enjoyable video, first time watching your channel. Very cool video.

[@MainvilleATV]

Welcome to the channel and thanks for watching!

[@daveseaton4929]

Can you put side mirrors on the outside

[@JackOSUrulz]

I bought one of these 2 years ago, we use it daily on our farm. Yes, there’s a side mirror kit for these you get from Kubota. I installed them on mine, in fact, I have every accessory now, except for these tracks. I even have the heated steering wheel lol. These are fantastic machines, my uncle has one as well. In terms of utility, they are the closest thing to the old Universal or CJ jeeps of the 40s, 50s, and 60s (I should know, one owned quite a few of those too), although they can’t go down the street at 60mph (at least not in stock form, and maybe not at all). But I have other vehicles for speed, for work I wouldn’t trade my Kubota RTV 1100C for anything else.

[@glenolson8640]

How long does it take to install tracks on to your Kabota? Is it hard? Do you have a video on how to install tracks? I have a 2022 Kabota XG850 side by side. I just ordered tracks like yours. Liked your video.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@MainvilleATV]

I've installed tracks on other machines, not this one. I can tell you if you have the right kit from a reputable brand and some basic tools you'll get it done no issue.

[@rotattor]

Awesome work machine but i could feel the pain you were in throughout the whole video. You would need a case of beer and a good stereo for that thing to be really fun.

[@stevenmassey7586]

It has a good stereo gotta get your own beer tho

[@jammils38]

Kubota is definitely good quality equipment.

[@MainvilleATV]

Of course, ill have to agree!

[@nathanielrobert5920]

Hey Mainville! This video helped me understand more about the RTV1100. I just ordered one after some research of different brands/models from the Kubota dealership near our farm. While these tracks are cool, I doubt I would need them where I am in Mid Michigan with the occasional winter trip up north. But it's good to know how the unit performs with them in case I change my mind. Take care and ride safe...

[@jonnantau9354]

Awesome video man, it's got the right engine for low end torque

[@MainvilleATV]

Thank you!

[@andyanderson6668]

please explain, "get some snow on the tracks before they freeze" I see this one snowmobiles also?????

[@MainvilleATV]

In this case, snowmobiles are different, the track pulls snow in to keep some components cool. Less so on a bogie wheel style track than a full winter track set up but it will stop the sitting water from freezing. Most modern snowmobiles use the track to throw snow at a heat exchanger in the tunnel to cool the hot engine coolant.

[@gerrylee4141]

I have a gator on the same tracks supposedly 50 hp and it tops out at 21 mph but goes anywhere has never

[@canucktheory3271]

How comfortable is the ride and how are the seats? I've considered purchasing one to snowblow the driveway and rink but with 2 back surgeries and at 35 to 40k I'm not looking to get something that I dread driving.

[@MainvilleATV]

It's not going to blow your mind or be aweful comfort wise. It's very standard in the utility line up that way.

[@brendanperry6429]

Love the set up! I've waited too long for JD to offer their 🐊 Gator 🐊, with a snowblower, and Trax.Trax they have; snowblower they don't. Will this unit plow with Trax? Even with the 🐊 Gator 🐊, depends who you talk to; some say you can plow with Trax, others say you need tires (only) in order to plow!?!

[@karnakosty7264]

Oh it's great to be a Kubota couple-;❤

[@michaelgade6198]

I live in the mountains and 2 foot plus snowfalls are a norm. How would it handle heavy snowfalls and want to use to pull a groomer. Also where did you get the Tracks? Kubota dealer? Thanks

[@MainvilleATV]

As far as snowfall it floats very well. As long as it isnt feet of powder and no crust I suspect it wouldnt have an issue at all. As far as pulling a small groomer with a UTV goes, I think this would be the best option. A couple clubs in my area do exactly that. EDIT: Yes, Huckabones Kubota works with Camso

To answer your question, it's 2400 pounds (2370 pounds to be exact) but I'm guessing the tracks add something to that.

There is nothing “side by side” about a Kubota RTV. It’s 100% a utility work machine. If you want a side by side from Kubota, the only option is the XG850 Sidekick. It’s actually designed to be driven on off-road type trails and go fast.

Kubota needs to make a road legal car/ side by side hybrid for people that don't want the conventional car.
