Episode 2: Foot Control Throttle Linkage - Kubota RTV Optimization Protocol!

Let's look at the foot control linkage in this Kubota RTV X 1100 c So we can do some adjustments.

Thanks for the video! That made my acceleration so much smoother!

[@SearlesStation]

Awesomeness! I'm glad it helped.

I checked the cable on Fuel pedal side on my X1140 and it did not need adjustment. I offend wondered about the stop on the floor. I didn't have a second set of eyes available to check but I wondered if lowering this would cause the throttle cable to hit the fuel stop before the pedal hit its stop. I would guess one could always lengthen the cable on the engine side to account for this and allow greater travel on the HST. I look forward to your next video to see if this is where you take us.

The cool thing with this set up is that the engine throttle is flexible, so if you bottom out the screw in the cab and step on the pedal it will bottom out at the high limit screw on the engine and flex that way it can continue to push the transmission valve open. I will go through that in the next video! Thank you for watching and commenting

Thanks for putting some info on. Still having trouble with finding the adjustment. Mine will stall out if you slam the throttle. And will not go up any hill without being in low.

[@SearlesStation]

@@davidbaker8402 Is your parking brake stuck on perhaps? Does it feel sluggish always?

[@davidbaker8402]

No sir. I’m sure it’s out of adjustment.

Great vids👍🏻👍🏻

[@SearlesStation]

Glad you like them!

Say do you know where I might find a passenger door panel for my 2014 X1100C ? The orange plastic one that goes on the outside of door and covers the window glass.

[@rexseven6907]

Different "foot control" question. I have a 2012 1100C and my neighbor has a 2014. My pedal requires double the pressure to use it compared to his. It's just too much. Is there a spring adjustment or something?

[@SearlesStation]

Ah yes. Could be a couple things. Over time the cable gets rusty inside the sleeve. Should be spray greased every 200 hours or so. There is also a grease point under the bed that gets overlooked too. Try to grease the cable at both ends and see if you can see the grease zerk. Have some in the cab pumping the throttle slowly and you should be able see where things pivot and go. Then spray the heck out of it!

Hello would you possibly have the Kubota part number for a replacement cable

[@SearlesStation]

Check out www.messicks.com/vendor/kubota They have it online. It takes a bit to figure out how they have things organized but it's pretty easy to navigate.

[@ericfiebig]

You the man, thanks and good videos they have helped me a lot with pos

[@KeepPrayingCA]

Would all of this info apply to an X900 Kubota as well?

[@SearlesStation]

Yeah, it's pretty much the same stuff

[@labman9912]

Will this tweak work on an RTV 500?

[@SearlesStation]

You bet! Follow the linkage and watch how it works. It will be essentially the same.
