Don't make this RTV buying mistake!

Published 2023-03-22
Most people don't know that Kubota makes two versions of the RTV- a Worksite version and a General Purpose version. While both are quality machines, one is lacking features that you may want in the long run. Zach walks us through which version is which and what to keep in mind when shopping.

    I learnt more in 6 minutes than I have on some much longer videos, thanks.

    I love my 1100c. I have a horse farm so I'm always cleaning stalls. The one thing I wish kubuta would do is but a higher back on the dump bed to stop bedding, debris, etc from going over and down into the mechanics underneath. Looking for another one with an open cab cause i hate dealing with the doors when I'm jumping in and out feeding horses all day. So one for the winter and one for the summer
  • Ok - so it makes sense that maybe not everyone needs a hydraulic actuator for the bed and a hydraulic cylinder do cost a lot of money. But Kubota trying to save 5 dollars on a small plastic lid for the glove compartment is just pathetic. It must cost more to REMOVE the lid than to keep it in place? The same can also be said about the missing seat and steering wheel adjustment options. People CAN, however, manage without a lid on the glove box and missing hydraulics. BUT to deliberately make the driving experience bad (by not being able to adust the steering / seat) is strange since many might get their first encounter with a Kubota through the cheapest variant and wouldn't want the more expensive one if they get a bad experience.
  • Very informative. Thanks. I was looking at the x1120 and wanted to fully enclose the cab with heat. Will that take me to the rough price range of the 1100c? I find that one really pricy.
  • I have a MX5400 but the RTV couldn’t compete with the Honda pioneer which I bought.

    I have owned a tree farm since August 2016 and have compared SXS/UTVs several times and the result has always been the same. They are FAR too loud. Kubota claims their latest RTVs are quieter, but they are still over 80 dB at idle. Sounds over 85 dB can damage your ears. There is no reason for them to be that loud other than the manufacturers care more about profits than their customer's hearing. Polaris had an electric Ranger a few years back but the range was bad for how expensive they were. A Wrangler and small dump trailer can be bought for less that has more room, more creature comforts, is street legal, has more hauling capacity, and doesn't leave you with a headache at the end of the day.

    I was gonna buy the general purpose unit but you made it sound like an under equipped red headed step child. You need to up your sales pitch. Learn how to talk about the differences without making comments on all that it does not have..............Your welcome!
