New! Kubota RTV X | The Work Oriented Utility Vehicle

[@jimkempton5568]

Hello I saw you on Outdoors with the Morgan’s and whatever Mike suggests his viewers do that’s exactly what I do. Looking forward to viewing your videos. ( drove four hours to deliver a hat) That’s the established type business I want to know more about.

[@GriffithsFfestiniog]

Hello, saw you on Outdoors with the Morgan’s so paid your channel a visit and really enjoyed your demonstration of this new machine. I think you have another subscriber thanks to Mike!😊

[@rob1733]

9:40 "This is a tractor with 4 wheels, that's the best way to describe it." 😊

[@phloughtgnarpsehs7263]

Because tractors have three wheels?

[@aaronshorter864]

More like a tractor with a bench seat.

[@tomrunning357]

You are absolutely correct with the more work less maintenance with Kubota utv's. Your building looks bigger than the Kubota factory 😊.

[@allenmarkrussell]

Just bought a x1140. It’s awesome around the farm.

[@barrydarnell9748]

Edits noted and much appreciated Neil!! Great job!

[@shawnmarcil7899]

I agree with the last thing Neil spoke about. Being a multiple Polaris owner, I find myself using and trail riding with my RTV-X1100C more than my ATV's. No, it can't go fast and no it can't go mud bogging, but it is so much stronger built, with better components than my Polaris's. Back when I bought my RTV I had to make the decision......do I spend 30 grand on a toy or a real machine built like a tractor.....I went with the Kubota. Which unlike an ATV/UTV, I can still sell it for what I paid for it new, years down the road.

[@blainj5687]

Yea I have a 2017 Polaris Ranger 1000 EPS that I am thinking of trading in for one of these. I use it mostly for work and slower speeds on hills and terrain here in MN anyways. Price point is much the same if not a few thousand cheaper! Seems better built I agree

[@dgiturbo3247]

Are the new ones any quieter than the previous? That’s my only holdback is how loud they are compared to other diesels.

[@vintagejeep]

Just ordered one today! Can’t wait 😛

[@BobMcGranor]

I wish they would make the cab a little longer and let the seats kick back a little

[@massive_droner]

Do they make the new RTV X with the longer bed version? Also, how about with enclosed cab and AC/Heat? Great video

[@DannyPepperr]

Great video thanks

[@waynegalvin4639]

What is the base price?

[@89vette1]

My only complaint of my RTV1100X is the shifting when plowing snow. It's so bad at times, I have to shut off the engine to release the pressure.

[@MessicksEquip]

have you tried fully depressing the brake pedal, that also dumps the transmission pressure

[@89vette1]

Yes. Also made sure the dump valve is actuating when the brake is depressed. Mine is not new though. It's a few years old and has 400 hours.

[@greg.keller]

What size are the wheels on that camo unit vs the steel wheel size?

[@MessicksEquip]

Same.

[@greg.keller]

@@MessicksEquip really? The premium wheel looks bigger. Thanks!!

[@Blast357]

i have a RTV900 with hydraulic bed and also a snow plow from Kubota that is all hydraulic and quick detach (i also pull a dump trailer that is fed from the rtv hydraulic). is there an hydraulic on these new ones? also, how about the shifting from front to back and to front, etc... (while plowing, or turning in a thigh space). im very interested, not that i dont like the RTV900 but the shifting is really annoying. the transmission is not from a tractor because it would shift flawlessly, they tried reinventing something they shouldnt... no pressure to deal with on a BX25! :)

[@homesweethome6583]

What weight is the dump trailer

[@Blast357]

@@homesweethome6583 867lbs according to the website. its a 2 tons, 4 wheels. Normand brand... mine is an older version, i have the side and back panel that can be removed/folded to become a platform, very usefull.

[@jcrosby735]

Do you know if I could buy the new LED headlights for a 2023 model? And tail lights if they have replaced those too?

[@RedDevilinCali]

thanks for the informational videos! Do you know if you can purchase offset wheel rims instead of adding wheel spacers on a RTV x1100c? thank you!!

[@111day1]

I have a 900. Is there a decent aftermarket lift kit for these? I really could use an extra 2” lift.

[@franknabywaniec1438]

Neil how much for 1 with heater and air and plow ?

[@jakeschisler7525]

I have sat in a few of these and I find that, it's my legs are so long and it isn't comfortable. I had a golf cart while living in Florida and it was hard on my long legs for an extended time. I rode in a Kubota with a cab and frankly didn't enjoy it at all

[@McCoyFamilyFarm]

Hows the parking brake work on the new transmission? The old model wasn't the best for hilly properties

[@MessicksEquip]

It's improved.

[@GB-lg6ge]

One thing they haven't changed. LEG ROOM

[@aaronshorter864]

Is the hydrostatic transmission able to use the whole engine’s horsepower to pull? My tractors hydrostatic transmission whine and barely move when the engine doesn’t even lug down.

[@js4455dl]

Neil from 2014 to 2024 on the x1100c cab model have they made a lot of difference on them that would be worth buying a new one versus a great used one with 1600 hrs on it thx

[@MessicksEquip]

The biggest changes happened in the x1100-series, after that generation they wear better. With the age of some of these I'd only be into an old 1100 if I could buy it at a great price.

[@js4455dl]

He's asking 14,000 for it thx

[@ryancrazy1]

is there an echo in here? lol something wrong with the last video?

[@mikesorg6746]

Was wondering the same thing

[@InLineDiesel6]

Me too, I though I experianced a time warp. I went and looked but didn't see yesterday RTV X video, it vanished.

[@MessicksEquip]

I made a mistake in naming some of the models. Texted added for clarification.

[@ryancrazy1]

@@MessicksEquip thanks for taking the time to make it right!

[@bryanlloyd1099]

That seems to be a great little machine!

[@jamesfurious_styles9422]

How does the X series differ from the X1120? Seems the same as the "standard" X. Is the 1120 discontinued with these new revisions?

[@MessicksEquip]

1120 is discontinued now

[@greg.keller]

I think you meant to say 900 and 1120, instead of 1100.

[@frankcooper5629]

Can you do a test on the sidekick?

[@MessicksEquip]

I have, check the channel. In fact I owned one

[@jaredgreenUSA]

Why can’t they just put a forward and reverse pedal on it and do away with the shifter?

[@MessicksEquip]

I've often thought that myself.

[@tjt1992]

Rerun?

[@tangoseal1]

I have a '98 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. I can use it to do more work than this Kubota and for the price of the Kubota I could buy (4) 1998 Tacoma trucks for what I paid for mine. These things cost way, far far, far too much compared to a FAR FAR FAR, EXTREMELY FAR more capable light duty pickup truck, that can carry far more weight, tow far more mass, and I can drive it down the interstate. These RTVs for the asking price are nothing more than waste of money toys. I own a Grand L4060 and hopefully soon a KX057. Still dont see the need to pay $25K plus for a less capable far slower and really not a whole lot smaller toy truckling.

[@krazykatch68]

This is a Kubota review Toyota would be another you tube search Just saying

[@peterdavis9656]

And your Tacoma has never seen an English country garden. They don't sell the Tacoma in Europe but I'm pretty sure it won't fit in the listed building I used for a shed and pretty sure it won't get to half the places this will. Correct tools for the job and all that...

[@Indo1030]

A new Tacoma is $40,000. You can’t compare what you paid a quarter of a century ago to what things cost today. It’s not a fair comparison

[@ln5747]

You sound like an old fool. Clearly they have a desirable function over and above being a toy. Your Tacoma will not do the jobs many farmers use these for. Nor folk with estates and businesses. Or land management purposes. Damn fool.

[@FREDDIE0309]

Can't fit a pickup truck through all my farm gates. Do your Toyota review on Car and Driver why don't ya????? What's wrong with you that you would compare a pickup truck to a utility vehicle???

[@sales21stcentry]

The lights are awful

[@MessicksEquip]

Do you have one?

[@johntheaccountant5594]

To me it is a toy, not farm equipment.

[@rob1733]

Depends on your farm. On my farm it gets a lot more use than the tractor. What would you choose instead?

[@johntheaccountant5594]

@@rob1733 Tractor and trailer

[@windzer]

hope they made the transmison less jerky I had a friend that accidentally killed his wife because he backed over her with his kubota rtv because the trans is so jerky

[@InLineDiesel6]

Doesn't seem there is any jerkiness in the video and I have an older RTV900 that run smooth. Ony complaint is the one everyone has, it can be difficult at times to shift the tranmission range. The issue your friend had sounds drastic and should have been brought to the attention of his dealer. Very sorry to hear about the loss of life.

[@windzer]

@@InLineDiesel6 unfortunately it's the nature of the beast with hydrostatic trans of these they just aren't as smooth to accelerate. it like u give them throttle and then all a sudden it starts moving especially if your not used to driving one. but it was a bad deal for my friend he was going to back up to his porch and when he put it in reverse and his wife happen to be behind him it jerked backwards and in turn made him slide forward pushing even harder on the throttle and by the time he got it stopped it was already on top of her they are an older couple there was nothing they could do for her he actually sold the rtv and bought another one identical because that one wasn't the one that killed his wife
