The Kubota RTV 520 is a total loss!!!! you want believe what happened

[@JaydenR1507]

I’m so disheartened too. That machine was so good to you guys! Hopefully it won’t be too long before you get a new RTV. Wishing you the best. - Jayden =)

[@7StandsFarm]

Thank you it was disheartening but it will all work out

[@ronaldclemons5520]

Sorry this happened to you. Things happen in life. Everything will work out. Keep the faith, and praying for you guys.

[@7StandsFarm]

Yes it is going to work out just fine thanks for your prayers we really appreciate it

[@joefoose5720]

Thanks for sharing your experience even though it was a bad one. My 520 is coming in about a week. Do you mind sharing why it rolled away? Wondering cause I got a lot of hills on my property.

[@7StandsFarm]

I am really not sure why it rolled off I had a long day and night so I am. It sure if I left the break down or what never had trouble before

[@katiem9644]

That would make me ill. Just got mine a few weeks ago after waiting nearly 2 months for delivery, and I can't imagine life without it. Ill be sure to use that e brake now! Sorry for your loss, that stinks.

[@7StandsFarm]

I was very upset and even felt foolish I can’t make it without something so I am quickly looking for something thanks for watching our videos

[@katiem9644]

I hope you find something soon. I have a small farm too, and would be at a total loss without mine.@@7StandsFarm

[@andyprivett2699]

So sorry to hear. That is terrible.

[@7StandsFarm]

Thank you I appreciate that and thank you for watching our videos

[@atomicsmith]

Sorry to hear that? Did you forget the parking brake? It did the brake fail?

[@7StandsFarm]

I really not sure what happened I just know it was unbelievable thank you for watching

Get a four seater John Deere Gator. We've had ours for 10 years and can't live without it on our farm. Unfortunately what we bought for 9k 10 years ago will probably be around 25k now. Love my Gator ❤

[@7StandsFarm]

Thank you I would really like something 4 seater but I am probably to tight to pay for it thanks for watching our videos

How does a hydrostatic drive roll ? Take the windshield and roof off

[@7StandsFarm]

I am not sure that I used the correct word when if I said hydrostatic but it is like there tractor transmission so it rolls when turned off if break doesn’t hold good

[@NCBravscar]

Just a possibility, maybe you can buy back some parts off the unit, canopy, windshield, grill and winch from the insurance company , and get another base model to make up for some of what a new unit costs..

[@7StandsFarm]

Good idea but they said I had to buy entire unit thanks for watching our videos

[@lebowski9514]

Is it completely inoperable? A total loss in the eyes of the insurance company does not necessarily mean it can't be fixed, it's just not financially viable (for them, not you) to pursue repairs.

[@7StandsFarm]

I actually thought about trying to fix and keep but I am not very mechanical and it was leaking hydraulic fluid and I was afraid it was something serious in transmission thank you for watching our videos

[@lebowski9514]

Reach out to your Kubota dealership. They'll check your mechanical systems and if there are any structural concerns they will usually have a good welder on call. I was looking down the barrel of a $56,000 telehandler boom replacement and was able to get the boom repaired, and re-certified from a welding company my local United Rentals uses to repair their equipment. The welder specialized in equipment repairs and regularly worked with an engineer who could test and sign off on the work. After repairs and re-certification everything cost $17,000. The turn around was 10 days. Compared to $56,000 for a new boom, 3-4 months for parts to arrive and then 10 days install afterwards, repairing was a no-brainer! Covid threw the supply chain out of whack and it still hasn't recovered. Repairing is usually the logical choice until that changes. @@7StandsFarm

Same thing happened to me with my 520. I parked the 520 (no e brake on but in gear) and nearly 20 minutes later it ended up in the bottom of the ravine about 50ft down. It was in high gear and rolled backyards and nearly a 100% flat area. Like I put a ball there after and it doesnt even roll. Anyway the machine was fine but I ripped the front brush guard apart pulling it back up. There is also a recall on the brakes or ebrake on this unit.

[@7StandsFarm]

I am sorry this happened to you also but it makes me feel better that I am not crazy and it has happened before also I will check on the recall thanks for the information and thanks for watching our videos

[@robertlee8714]

Inventory levels have inceased. The other brands will not have a hydrostatic transmission, which is something I think is required for a work machine. The Honda Pioneer 520 is close to the size of what you have and has a geared transmission. By far, the majority of other brands will have a CVT belt drive which I am not fond of for a work/trailering machine. Good luck with your search. It will all work out in the end.

[@7StandsFarm]

Thank you so much I agree I do not want a CVT transmission especially for my farm use thanks for watching and thank you for your comment and advice it is a big help

[@inthedarkwoods2022]

If you had KTAC it would pay full replacement plus they pay the gap between what you paid and the new one.... Should have financed 0% which comes with the mandatory ktac.

[@7StandsFarm]

I did finance but I had regular insurance in it through farm bureau Thank you for watching our videos

[@inthedarkwoods2022]

@@7StandsFarm That was your mistake. KTAC would have been full replacement for $250.

[@7StandsFarm]

Thanks for the information a little late but good to know for the future and I would have thought my salesman would have let me know about that at the purchase of the machine Thanks for watching

[@danmagill7616]

That’s seems incredibly bizarre. I have a RTV 500. Even if you drove up there and didn’t pull the break up when you parked it, it would still be in gear, and the HST would have held it. If for some strange reason you shifted it into neutral without pulling the break, it would have likely rolled away immediately. The question is, was it in gear when you found it, and/or was the break on?

[@7StandsFarm]

I am not sure if it was in gear or break was up but even in gear on the 520 the machine will roll when it is turned off Thanks for watching and great questions Have a wonderful day

[@RS-sl5ko]

Just Fyi I debated between an kubota RTV and a John Deere gator. Bought the gator and have been extremely pleased. No problem in 4 years of use on my farm.

[@7StandsFarm]

Thank you I loved the RTV but I will have to find something else

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

So basically you just admitted on video that you were drinking and eating when your UTV hit the tree? Did I get it correct?

[@7StandsFarm]

Thanks for watching

[@inthedarkwoods2022]

Yeah.. he was drunk. If you watch his videos he stutters over what he was doing. He says he was "cooking a pig". They were blitzed drunk

[@PastureFowler]

Think you’ll get another Kubota or try another brand?

[@7StandsFarm]

i really liked the Kubota but because of price increases and availability i am looking at others possibly used options but if money was no problem i would do Kubota again thank you for watching

[@User20758]

Im sorry I listened to your testimony And never heard you say you had the parking brake set. This concerns me and now I'm curious if the parking brake doesn't work or was it your negligence not setting it ???

[@7StandsFarm]

I am not sure if the break was set or if it failed I don’t remember it had been a very long 24 hours thanks for watching and asking your question

[@User20758]

@@7StandsFarm thanks for getting back.

[@tangoseal1]

I paid cash for my l4060 tractor and I buy ktac yearly.

[@inthedarkwoods2022]

Always finance. KTAC after you pay it off is at a depreciated value. Not smart.
