Don't buy a Kubota RTV until you've seen THIS!! 

The deer on my farm don't like cats lol

We just bought a little hobby ranch and I’ve been shopping around for side by sides. I’ve been on the fence between a 4-seater or a 2-seat with the big dump box. I love that this one converts between the two. I didn’t even know that existed. Thanks for the video!

This guy is more professional than most of the so-called, walk-around salesmen. Hey Kubota, give him a shout out.

Thanks for comprehensive review. I’m moving in 2 months onto 80acres and I’ve been looking at different ATVS. This one is on the top of the list!

Very nicely done. We moved back onto this farm after my father passed away last February. We have 2 horses that we brought from the other farm. They had never seen cattle. When the cattle got moved back to the pasture in May, the horses went berserk. I wish we had videoed it . It was hilarious.

I can't speak on UTV's but I have an old Scag mower with a Kubota D1105 diesel in it and it is an absolute workhorse. We pulled it out of the neighbor's field after it sat for over 20 years. Did a fluid and filter change and it fired right up.

Josh I have the X1120, the 2 seat version with the 24.8 HP engine. If you loose speed going up a hill, back off the pedal, that effectively changes the gear ratio of the pump so it won’t loose speed as bad. I put the factory hand throttle kit on mine. You can independently control engine RPM from the transmission pedal. To start heavy loads for maximum power you open the throttle and your foot pedal only controls ground speed. Just like a hydrostatic tractor. They are wonderful work horses and built like a tank

Thanks for the updated review after you have used it. I did one of these @RidgeLife last week. I will do some action video of it at work last this spring. Your first review made me get it. I love it! Thx I’ve never had mine move and I have had rocks and dirt rear loaded and it stayed level! Get that checked.

I had a 2012 kabota 900 R T V on my farm it was a work horse it was a disel one of the best purchases I made. It not built for speed 25 mph up hill or down hill. Made for hauling or pulling, I loved it!

for the tailgate,very simple....a steel cable linked to the two latches and running through eyebolts,in center two eyebolts 8 inches part,pull the cable and boom it's opened!!! hope it helps.but I love this little machine.and I like very much your farm.good job!cheers!!!

Thanks Josh! Great overview and appreciate you waited 6 months before offering the review - some real life experience with it first. And of course, loved the moo-cow at the opening. LOL. Woooo!

Great review of a good machine, I hope it continues to serve you well.

I've been using a rental unit just like this one to haul massive quantities of firewood. Absolutely a beast. I love it.

This video was 10,000 times more helpful than spending an hour and a showroom talking to a Salesman, not only are most of them not that knowledgeable about what they're selling, but good luck trying to get them to sell you anything that's not already on the showroom floor

I think you talked me into one, when I'm ready to get one, thank you

As a Kubota tech, if I may offer a suggestion, remove the skid plates under your RTV and pressure wash as best as you can. Farming, especially cattle farming, causes a lot of dirt and mud build up and all of your cables run under there and they will seize. It's not a fun job to repair. Didn't know if your dealer told you so just passing that along. Awesome overview and hope it continues to meet your needs!

We bought one of these back in 2015 or so. It’s been great but they’ve definitely made some good changes to them in the past five years!

just found your channel and love it. "load up" and I thought my dog was the only one that knows that command! Small world.

Great video, i plan on buying one before the snow flies, i was thinking about a Kawasaki or kubota, i have a kubota tractor, so i know they make great equipment, again i thank you for the video , saved me alot of research on this unit.

hey man glad to see that you finally got some cows! haven't been able to comment in awhile because my account was screwed up! been around since the pre $100 truck days! keep up the good work much love from cleveland

You did such an excellent job of describing this Kubota!

Great review. I'm mobility limited and the guy that owns the 10 acres I rent had an RTV500 that I decided to purchase from him so I can get around easily. Since I wanted it to make maintaining the property easier, he was inclined to cut me a good deal on it, since he still owns the land and I'm willing to keep his investment secure. Being in FL, our ground gets really squishy-swampy, so it's hard for me to maintain my footing, but my little 500 zips me around like a champ. I ran across your video because now I have more family living with me, and as you said, that extra bench in the back suddenly becomes important, but I don't want to lose my cargo space. Thanks for taking the time to go over your thoughts on the rig. It has given me plenty of things to consider in making my upgrade decision.

I’m glad they moved the radiator to the front of the machine, ours is a few years older and the radiator is under the seat, it’s hard to blow it out and it will run hot when we are working it hard.

Thanks for the down to earth review , been looking to get one to same some on the expensive work trucks. You're answered some questions that I've had. Good video.

Great music, my Dad had a bluegrass band all my life. He played by ear and won many fiddling contest 👍

That is a really cool machine, the full bed to 4 seat conversion seems really useful.

Great Vid Josh, I got a Kubota zero turn mower and love their products!!!

Good Morning, Josh! After your first video on the Kubota, I went to my dealer and bought one. Traded off a Kawasaki that I bought used. He gave me more than I paid for it, so I was happy with the deal. Do agree with this video that it is an all around great vehicle. It does seem a little under powered, but I'm not into racing. Do like my winch, however. I am surprised that the first addition of accessaries did not include a fire extinguisher! Mine went on the center post behind the driver's seat. Never noticed the hour meter on the dash. Thanks for the update!

Thank you for the drone footage at the end with the bluegrass music. I literally zoned out watching and listening...HAHAHA! You might be on to something! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

When climbing a hill try taking your foot off the accelerator slightly as the speed starts to reduce. Instinct is to floor it but by easing back slightly it gives more hydraulic flow to the drive motors and you gain a bit more speed. I rate the kubota as a work horse and find the traction and hill decent superb. I think it trumps most rtvs in terms of the build but you do need to give a bit of thought to how you drive it, off road you can't just floor it in high 4 wheel drive and expect to power up anything, however low 4wd and it will climb and climb.

Great stuff Josh! You are a Good Man!

My God, Josh! You did a better "walk around" than a car salesman! 'Keep the cattle, and your honesty, though.

Thank you so much for the Excellent Review. Great job 👏

That is so cool Josh ....thanks for showing your happiness...

6’5” Dang! You are a big dude alright. That’s a good size machine. Great review. Sometimes I regret my RZR purchase just for yard works use. I have to drag a trailer around to have any practical yard use.

The farm looks great with the cows great addition 👍🐄🐄🤠

Great review! We’re getting into hobby farming and thinking of getting one of these as a complement to our compact tractor.

Well done review. Two things on wish list...little firmer suspension and hydraulic bed dump while in extended configuration. I really need to find a quality affordable roof too.

Thanks for the detailed video. im happy about the Kubota RTV. its a great workhorse. watching you from Nairobi Kenya..

I work in a cemetery as a mechanic and we've been replacing our Cushman trucksters with the kubota x900s I can definitely say they're a good machine, definitely superior to the cushmans, especially when it comes to maintenance, the cushmans only get a plus when it comes to replacing the heater core or blower motor.

Your tires look like whats called "HDAP" ( Heavy Duty All Purpose) vs the R4 industrial.. Good review, thanks for posting!

Smart RTV design and good reviews.

Thanks for the great video. I am in the process of comparing the RTV units. Your video was perfect for my viewing. Thanks

I think I’ve heard you say that another thing you don’t like is that the receiver hitch in the rear doesn’t come back far enough. Probably easily fixed with a hitch extension, but still one more thing to buy.

the bed has a lock/float setting just in case you didn't know. Might be why it is tilting on you. I had mine for a few months before I realized you can lock it on the control lever.

My dad just purchased a Polaris ranger 1000 crew love it it’s been a good tool we had a 2003 Polaris ranger that lasted along time

Lol...the cow at the beginning was not expected! Caught me off guard...still laughing. Great review, thanks for going over the the RTV.

We rented 2 of those at work and they were both great! One was the older 3 speed and it did go 7-8mph faster than the newer 2 speed one. That is my biggest complaint, our Gators are so much faster than the 2 speed one. I will say the Kubotas ride much nicer than the Gators do

Great video ! the rear seats are a great idea! thank you!

Hey there Stoney Ridge Farm👋 Great review video. #LifeOnTheFarm. Just wanted to slide through and show some more love to my new family.💙💯👍

Thanks for the informative video. It was very helpful!

I have the RTV 900. I have the very same likes and dislikes. I added mirrors and a light on the rear. I mounted it high above my head. Lights up the bed and I can back up. I also added a wench on the front and an inverter to plug in 110 power tools or charge my phone. I mounted it above my head on the bottom of the roof. Never gets wet.

It looks like a very capable vehicle for around the farm. When you are using the back seats you are less likely to need much bed space.

Josh, nice job on the Kubota review. It would be interesting to see how the dump bed functions. Otherwise, you aced it.

To make it single hand open for the tailgate, you could always install a ute (truck) tailgate latch and have it connect to the two latches via spring loaded wire. Then would only need one hand to open it..

Nice machine Josh thanks for sharing this video buddy

I have a RTV 900. I love it. Use it all the time. Very easy on fuel.

Just ordered my 2021 RTV x1140, can't wait. for our ranch in N ID. Create review, thanks

That was a fantastic review! Thank you

Kubota is an amazing brand as long as you have a good dealer close by.we all know that to make a great brand is to have a good dealership close by.

Great informative video & love your personality!

Suggestion for opening the tailgate with one hand. A couple of cable clamps and 5' of cable. Connect both pulls with the cable, and then you can open the tailgate by pulling down, or up on the center of the cable...

Hey Josh, great video. You didn't show if the tailgate can be lowered all the way, but if it can I wonder if you could make it a 6 people hauler by adding another rear seat assembly to the bed. It sure looks like it would fit from the video. Of course when you get popcorn running (soon I hope) I'm sure you will be using popcorn to tour your estate:)

Love how you keep adding to the farm!

Good vid Josh - nice rundown.

Great explanation and I am more convinced to get one.

I like that you give your honest opinion.

Drill a hole in both handles at the bottom run a cable from one handle to the other with no slack so that you can pull the center of the cable and release both handles at the same time

Have one of these at work and as he says want to go tear in the field of through the woods get the polaris want to load it up to the roof with logs and chug your way out take the kubota. And as your climbing a hill gently let of the throttle and it seems to change down a gear and pick up power

I have an RTV 1100. If you plow any snow with it make sure you put cardboard in the grill. Particularly if it is a fine powder snow. You will fill the cold air intake with snow and the filter will turn into a block of ice. Power will be reduced to nothing and you’ll be trailing a nice cloud of black smoke. You’ll look like a WWII plane going down in flames! Don’t ask me how I know..... other than that they are great machines. Haven’t had any problems with it in 5 years. I picked up my L4340 tractor from Rocky Mount Tractors. Good people!

Josh, a nice comprehensive overview of your Kubota. That cow either didn't like the cat or was just curious. Enjoyed this video.

Sounds like backup lights, a rear bumper and a bed lock with a little more spunk from the engine and this would be just about perfect for you. Their maybe fixes for all of that.

Take a drink every time he says "this machine". J/k, great video, keep it up!

I had a 2006 and that thing was a piece of crap, at least the transmission was. Loved the dump box. Hopefully they fixed them.

We have the rtv 900 and love ours, wouldn't want any other machine, like you said it's a workhorse!

Keep up the good work.

Awesome review. Thanks!

Great info!

we have a Polaris ranger and everything is great except the tailgate it's one-hand open but it gets jammed very easy and then takes two to open

I also removed that bar and door on my 850 Sidekick. I totally agree with your review. Wish we would have bought the four seater version.

Great review , thanks. Blessings

A after market backup light kit should be easy to install.

I would use the passenger storage compartment as an ice chest. Lol God bless

Thumbs up on your video, don't know how I got here but I like it.

Love it! I need one at the Cabin

Great video, an idea about your tailgate.Take it to a metal fabricator and get him to make a handle in the middle with a metal rod to each side of you tailgate attach to the handles.This is what I would do.

Enjoy watching your video

Nice unit. I love Kubota

I just bought a new 1100 with cab and ac. Needless to say I am impressed. Actually pretty decent quality goes into them. Speed is my only complaint

Thank you. What a machine.

We took a piece of vinyl coated cable ,and ran it across the back ,& clamped it to both tailgate latches !

Josh I'd love to see you test the bobcat 5600 with front loader. Love your videos.

Looks like a pretty good machine.

Good video Josh!

Some where on there is wiring for a back up beeper for use on construction sites per OSHA. I have a Polaris 6x6 its an 04 and it had it so I am sure yours does. I wired in a led back up light to these wires. Super simple because the wiring is already there and connected to only source power when placed in reverse.

really good review bud

Hey Josh, Could you tie some paracord to both of the 2 tailgate handles and then be able to pull the cord to open the gate with 1 hand.

i think the cat was like er no way not gonna mess with bessy thanks for the review

mrs stoney ridge was having the time of her life driving that UTV around the farm....

Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
