I love my Kubota x1140 .. thing is amazing. I couldn’t imagine the farm without it now

[@RidgeLife]

Oh yeah! Couldn’t live without it!

[@seanb1321]

The float setting on the hydraulics is not a "lock-down" setting but the opposite: It allows the hydraulics to float, or flow without restriction. So the bed, then, can be lifted manually or dropped slowly if already lifted. AND, any other hydraulics connected via quick-connect, would also float or move unrestricted (well at a slower pace than being completely free).

[@RidgeLife]

Thanks for the correction!

[@StaciesCountryCooking]

That’s really cool how it converts to 4 seater. Great review. Nice size bed for hauling. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year

[@RidgeLife]

Stacie’s Country Cooking thank you. We love it! Happy New Year to you as well!!!

[@odiswhite8429]

Mine is getting delivered tomorrow. I can't wait!!!!

[@RidgeLife]

Enjoy!!!

[@ErnieHatmaker]

Nice that there are so many spots where you can add modifications.

[@RidgeLife]

Yes. We are looking forward to adding some soon!

[@ErnieHatmaker]

That utility pouch looks like it can hold some serious toys!

[@RidgeLife]

Oh yeah!

[@SPEAR05]

I own two of them, and their just a great machine. Nice video by the way 👌

[@RidgeLife]

Awesome! Thank you very much!

[@MoneypitHomestead]

Great review and the Kubota RTV-X1140 is the one that I have been looking at and wanting to buy.

[@RidgeLife]

Good choice! Thank you very much. We love our workhorse!!!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks for featuring my livestream channel on your channel brotha

[@RidgeLife]

Totally my pleasure! You are one of the main reasons I started KZbin! Huge Respect!!!

[@jonathanmagic5633]

Well put together video thankyou.

[@RidgeLife]

Thank you!

[@jenky1044]

Great video. Great machine. Thank you. I wish you could have had a camera operator so we could see how it converts to a 4 seater. I do like how the bed is usable in 4 seat mode too.

[@RidgeLife]

Yes! Thx love it!

[@teel6060]

Great review! Bidding on one now!

[@RidgeLife]

Good luck! Thank you very much!

[@lazypondfarm]

Happy New Year! Nice ride!

[@RidgeLife]

Thanks and Happy New Year to you!!!

[@DancingCrittersAcres]

My wife and I have been talking about a side by side for our place. When it comes time to buy I know what I am buying. Many thanks for the review on the Kubota RTV-X1140. You take care and best wishes, Hope you guys have a Happy New Year. Dean

[@RidgeLife]

It's a workhouse but not fast. We love it though!

[@MrGS53]

Looks like a great vehicle

[@RidgeLife]

Love it!

[@countrysideacreshomestead2008]

Nice ride! We would like to add something like that to our place in the future as well.

[@RidgeLife]

Countryside Acres Homestead a little slow but very useful. You will love it.

[@TheRealSkitch11]

I remember on the 1140 cpx.. you could reach across the bed and pull in the side panel becuase it wasn’t that wide.. and the bed didn’t go from up to down or down to up it just went across

[@RidgeLife]

Lots of changes, huh?

[@keithwhittygmail]

Looks like fun. I'm sure I'd have that on its side by the end of a day 😂🤣😂🤣

[@RidgeLife]

It has been close! Ha! Thanks.

[@amidoamigos4452]

Very cool

[@RidgeLife]

Thanks!

[@ErnieHatmaker]

The spray liner looks good.

[@RidgeLife]

It’s held up so far to some pretty bad abuse!

[@ErnieHatmaker]

All I could think was how much fun it would be to put the kids in the dump and pull the lever.😁

[@RidgeLife]

Ernie Hatmaker I haven’t done that yet but that’s an idea!!!

[@ErnieHatmaker]

I hear that a lot.😁😁

[@mikef1570]

Was waiting for your tape measure to fall out.

[@RidgeLife]

Ha! Love my Kubota!

[@nocoolname32]

i was thinking about something like this to add to my snow removal business but then i saw the top speed is lower than my kubota tractor haha.

[@RidgeLife]

Yeah, it is very slow but just right for our small farm.

[@chadsims3330]

Could you tell me where you purchased the storage organizer between the seats. I have looked high and low and cannot find one. Thank you.

[@RidgeLife]

I got it on Amazon’s The link is in the description. Thx!

[@chadsims3330]

Got it! Had to expand the description to see. Thank you for your quick response and informative review. Based on your review I purchased both the Kubota and organizer!

[@brianvazquez4572]

Great video! I just bought an RTV X 1140 as well and love it. My only concern is that it blow a bit of whittish smoke on every start up. Just Curios if yours does the same? Only have 11 hours on it and it's 60 to 70 degrees down over here in Texas, not much cold weather. Thanks for any input.

[@RidgeLife]

Yup! Mine does it a bit. Over 300hrs on mine! Love it!!! Thanks.

[@brianvazquez4572]

@@RidgeLife Thanks for the reply. It does not seem much of a problem, it only blows a light puff of smoke when I start it up and it disappears in seconds. I will just keep an eye on it.

[@MyTechWebTV]

@@brianvazquez4572 I just bought an X1140 and I also own a Kubota ZD326 mower with the Diesel engine. Puffs a little smoke at every startup. Also when engaging the deck. It is a diesel trait. I wouldn't worry unless it smoked continuously. The smoke you are seeing should be a grayish smoke. Enjoy your X1140!

[@brianvazquez4572]

@@MyTechWebTV Thanks for letting me know. I am just one of those persons that worry about everything. The amount of smoke is miniscule, I will just keep an eye on it. Once again thanks for your reply.

[@MyTechWebTV]

@@brianvazquez4572 Brian, I absolutely understand. I am the same way! If you have any concern don't hesitate to talk with your dealer or have them come out and verify everything is ok. You spent a good deal of money to have something nice that will last you a long time! Don't hesitate to ask for support even if it is just to ease your mind.

[@MyTechWebTV]

Tim, I took delivery of my X1140 Friday. I purchased the Kubota version of the QuadGear Roll Cage Organizer and it doesn't fit the X1140. Were the straps long enough on the one you linked to on your X1140 or did you have to add additional strap to make it work?

[@RidgeLife]

Worked like a Champ! No modifications needed at all. Good luck and enjoy your 1140!

[@MyTechWebTV]

@@RidgeLife Thank you, I purchased the one you bought and it works great! Are you will liking your X1140?

[@MyTechWebTV]

How is your bed liner holding up? I just signed the contract for my X1140. The dealer just got two in and he doesn't order them with the factory bed liner. Like yours, he lines them if the customer wants that. He feels the process they use is better than Kubotas as they line areas Kubota doesn't according to him. At least he guarantees to stand behind it. Just curious if you're finding it durable still.

[@RidgeLife]

The company they used did a good job. Holding up nicely. Congrats and enjoy!

[@rondean2733]

Problem is these have a emc and it failed quite often!

[@RidgeLife]

I haven't had any failures other than right rear axle. Over 1000 miles problem free.

[@nancymccracken7862]

RidgeLife THANK YOU! Just got my shiny new Kubota and need one of these ;)

[@Randall-kr3gm]

I know you put a winch on it but does it block the front hitch receiver hole? I have a 1140 but have not checked winches as yet. Also, did you by chance ever use the front hitch for anything? My trailer hitch fits the hole but the pin holes do not line up. Any information/thoughts on this? Thanks. Also, nice video. I appreciate the thoughts & information.

[@RidgeLife]

I use the front receiver all the time. Doesn’t block it.

[@Randall-kr3gm]

Have played with it some more. Seems that some of my hitch parts work with out issue and some will of course go in but the pin holes do not line up.

[@TheRealSkitch11]

Can I borrow yours mine is on the trailer with a broken gas peddle stretched if you take it out of gear it rockets

[@RidgeLife]

WHOA!

[@TheRealSkitch11]

Yup

[@TheRealSkitch11]

Took us an hour to convert it we didn’t know how to pull half the bed up

[@RidgeLife]

Oh no!

[@TheRealSkitch11]

Yeah

[@crazyrussiankid2865]

How much are they

[@RidgeLife]

About $19k, We love ours!!!
