Kubota X1100C RTV - The Latest Workhorse for The Stable -E106

[@leehobin5132]

Greetings Jason, Lee here, nice addition to the fleet, probably get you back to the work site faster than the tractor. Good to see that you have a plan for the future and you are working to that goal. You and your family keep well, later

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Hi Lee, thanks for stopping by! I think it is going to increase our overall productivity through the Winter for sure. Take care, Jason.

[@Davidk460]

We have one of these and it is an awesome machine! I put on the rear window guard that has saved the glass a couple of times. It is really a workhorse!

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Thanks for the feedback. We have since added that guard as well. I am finishing a hitch for the back to run the portable winch from in the Winter. Can’t wait to try it out!

[@craigtupper103]

Great choice! A couple of my clients have one and love it for puttering around their woodlot

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Thanks Craig, definitely not a speed machine but I think it is going to be a real worker! I watched all of those videos that you pointed me to, by the way. It seems like I am thinning on par with the climate change recommendations? Take care, Jason.

It looks like a good addition to your fleet,nice one team!

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Thanks Glen, we are pretty happy with the purchase so far. Now we need to put it to work!

[@richardclifton4120]

I own one and the best addition so far is the side mirrors. I also installed seat covers to protect the original interior and with the right tires, it will get you out of some tough muddy places. I can't justify the expense of the tracks at this point, but it is reliable. I don't come across a large quantity of snow like you appear to have very often or for long periods so the tracks may never be needed.

[@OakMountainAcotts]

We really like ours. Should be a reliable work machine with a long useful life. I’ll put the tracks on in November and run them til April. I’m planning on yarding some wood with it this Winter!

[@MyTechWebTV]

I just took delivery of my Kubota RTV X1140. If I lived where there was a lot of snow and I had to work out in it I would have reconsidered an open station machine. The X1100C will serve you well. I chose the RTV since speed wasn't at the top of my list, I needed a reliable workhorse. With tracks your RTV will be almost unstoppable. I hope your X1100C serves you well!

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Thanks for the feedback! These machines should last for a very long time!

[@rackman5111]

Love it just like a little dump truck 👍 and I know what you mean about getting cold I'm 50 now and I've frozen way to much can't take it. That's the perfect machine I like the window great visibility and the doors are great and love how the windows go up and down 👍

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Hi Marc, the cold never used to bother me. Dad and I would do snowmobile stump cutting through the Winter but it was slow going. I don't like to get cold before I get to the job site and this was a real barrier to get motivated and get out there! Thanks for watching, Jason.

[@RobertBobFisher]

I also expected more from Kubota. This RTVX1100C is my second one. Traded older model on this one. No problems with older one. I also own Kubota L3240 Grand Tractor and a GR2010 Guide Steer lawn tractor. This experience with the new RTVX1100C has cast doubt on Kubota's quality backing. Just imagine after 842.9 hours we have another $6,409 repair!

[@OakMountainAcotts]

I would be pretty upset. I think I’ll look at trading mine based on that feedback…

[@Ants_Pants]

Lookes like a nice new equipment. very handy to have around.

[@OakMountainAcotts]

For sure.... I really like the hydraulic dump... just like a mini gravel truck! Thanks for watching. Jason

[@UpNorthNybergs]

Good straight forward impressions Jason! I'm not currently in the market to replace my Kawasaki Mule, but I am a fan of Kubota. I do love the HEAT and closed cab, I freeze in upper Michigan and I am older than you ;-) Thanks for the video and you and Karen stay safe!

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Thanks! The Kubota is slow but everything else seems to make up for it. I am a Honda guy but I feel like the Kubota RTV has a useful life like a tractor while all the other SxS options will not last as long?

[@ricklarade3593]

i am seriously looking at the same set-up, along with the tracks, you made up my mind

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Awesome Rick. I'll be sure to add it into a few more videos to give you more feedback. Make sure you are okay with low speeds because I really struggled with this on my first couple of rides... the more I run it though, I have to say that I really like it!

[@ricklarade3593]

@@OakMountainAcotts yes i'm aware of the slow speeds, i'm not into speed so the slower the better...lol, need it for my woods, so speed is not a factor

[@FromSteelToWood]

Wow! Congratulations on the acquisition! You got the "totally spoiled" version I can see! I did not figure you were so far in the woods logging. I understand the 2km ride is a MAJOR factor to get a heated cab. That is no luxury at this point. That machine will keep its resale value for a few decades, so that is rather on the side of an investment than an expense. You will be truly the first channel I see this model of machine really working, especially out in the woods. They usually carry hay bales in a field or for snow removal in a parking lot. I really like the hydraulic capability, which adds a lot of options. With the added tracks, that machine will reach another level! I agree with you, UTVs are not meant to go in deep snow. Very little clearance relative to their length/width. Thanks!

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Hi Joe, I decided on this one to "go big or go home". Based on my experience to date with my tractor, I'm hopeful the Kubota will last for a very long time, especially if I can keep it under cover and out of the sunlight. We will be using this machine every weekend all year round! Thanks for watching! Jason

[@Balancer48]

I’ve had an RTV 900 since 2004. Other than rebuilding some of the dump body (Apparently I like to drive into things) it’s been an amazing machine. No cab, but being in my mid 70’s I couldn’t maintain my property without it!

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Excellent feedback! Sounds like they last a very long time! Did you undercoat it or do anything special to help it last?

[@Balancer48]

@@OakMountainAcotts : The original models had no undercarriage, completely open to the engine compartment and front end. The only protection is a heavy duty plastic shell for the bed. There was no factory option for a spray-in bed liner back then. I only have about 800 hours on it and I really believe it can go another 20 years. I have a cloth top on it as I only clear the garage by one-half inch. Also added a acrylic windshield and a led light-bar. The wife uses it all of the time and it’s easy for the grandkids to drive. One of the best items I have ever purchased.

Blow snow in my shirt sleeves in the heated cab and listen to the radio. Couldn’t survive withoutt it.

[@OakMountainAcotts]

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Wow, I wouldn't be happy with that! These things are way too much money for stuff like that to happen. We are having great luck so far... I have a set of tracks coming for it and want to try to use it like a little skidding tractor in the snow with tracks on... time will tell I guess if it was a good decision or not. Thanks for sharing!

[@timberridge1997]

What was your reasoning in choosing the worksite tires? I don't know which tires to get on mine.

[@OakMountainAcotts]

I didn't put much thought into it. I figured if this was the standard tire that came on the machine, Kubota probably did it for a reason. I can tell you though that those tires seem to get an amazing grip on ice and the treads seems to work snow up and leave a nice rough texture to freeze in on the trails. Not sure how they will do in mud but I guess we will find out soon enough! We have tracks coming next week and I will use them for the Spring break up when tires cut up the woods roads. I hate to use the snow machine on mud and then access spur roads with snow so I think the tracks will be a nice improvement!

[@thelogfather5002]

Awesome addition! That will last you forever! Good on you! :)

[@OakMountainAcotts]

I hope so Jeff! Time will tell I guess... Stay warm!

[@RobertBobFisher]

Yes, the RTV 1100C initially performs very well. Mine however, failed with 842.9 hours. A valve cracked in the transmission. A $6,409 repair. Apparently a latent manufacturing defect. Replacement is not functioning properly. Kubota dealer and Kubota are showing no timely nor financial help. Dealer very slow returning calls. I am 75 years old and only use as a golf cart type transportation.

[@OakMountainAcotts]

That is quite disappointing to hear…. I would expect more from kubota. Thanks for sharing, maybe I should get out early and try something else?

[@carlhunt9267]

What about a snow blade

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Hi Carl, I started pricing the v plows. Kubota wants thousands for the k connect system that you then mount the v plow too… not sure I want to spend another $10k… Boss v plows are about $7k here…. Quite expensive!

[@richardbrowne1679]

Looks like a great machine. Will you be able to pull the Kranman behind it?

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Hi Richard, the plan for now is to use the B2601 to pull the Kranman. You can buy a k-connect system for this rtv that gives you a front mount pto and hydraulics for a snow blower and v plow. I think we will end up there for winter forestry trail maintenance to help us get to the woods!

[@kenmcdonaldii3887]

Congrats - your fortunate that they had one in stock. I am in the north east. I ordered ours in December and our dealer said that we are looking at a potential April/May delivery.

Tracks would be a good addition to the RTV. Are you planning on adding a snow plow for it as well? It would certainly make maintaining your forest roads in winter easier. Tire chains would be another option for added traction. Did you trade in the Honda side by side to get this Kubota RTV?

[@OakMountainAcotts]

One of the reasons I chose this machine was because of the K-connect system that can be installed. It basically gives you a front mount PTO and hydraulics to run a snow blower, sweeper or v-plow. I didn't get this stuff now because I did have to draw the line somewhere on total cost. I sold my Honda and got a good price for it (pandemic effect) and that allowed me to move into this RTV. Take care! Jason

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

I have the RTV 900. Mine does not have the climate controlled cab. there are advantages both ways. Not having the cab is nice when I am in my woods. I have 110 acres of hardwood timber and it makes it easier to see to maneuver around limbs and such without the cab. I have a 3500 lb. winch on the front of mine as well. they are built very sturdy and will last a long time. I have noticed that mining locations seem to either gravitate to either the Kawasaki Mule or the Kubota RTV's. There must be a reason for that.

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Interesting.... If I had any complaints it would be the top speed. I'm not a trail rider so it won't be an issue for us but I'm sure our boys will miss the speed!

People who bash the horsepower have no idea what they are talking about. Diesel power is known for its torque not hp. Many manufacturers keep them at 25 horse because if they go more than that EPA says it must have DEF. So if they upped power you would then pay even more and complain about def lol.
