Great video. What is the clearance with the PTO unit attached to the undercarriage? Our 1100c & snowblower is ordered - I am concerned about the clearance and using it for things other than snow removal. Thank you
Hi that is a downside you only have around 5 inches under the pto and for snow season it's really not a big deal for me as I don't really use my rtv for anything other than plowing / snowblowing or on a occasion I will use it to move snow piles that get to big. During the summer I remove the pto setup due to needing the extra clearance off road but I leave the front frame work and hydraulic unit on because I have other attachments for it and I use it like a dump truck .
@@banger1322 Not having received our kubota yet, I didn’t realize that you can take off the PTO but leave the hydraulic unit on. I think that is what I will do. Thanks!
@@kenmcdonaldii3887 make sure that you tell the dealer you want the factory skid plates they take off to install the pto so when you take it off you can put them back on. It takes about 1/2 hr to a hr to remove it depending on your mechanical skills. To remove it you will have to remove 3 skid plates 2 small sides and 1 big rear. You will then unhook the pto shaft in front underneath it's just a quick connector pull the collar back and slide it off. Then there is 1 electrical connector just unplug it you might have a zip tie or 2 you have to cut or not depending on the way the dealer installs it. Your going to need to get the rear about a foot and a half to 2 feet off the ground and put some jackstands under it. Then take a floor jack and put it under the low point of the pto and jack it up unit there is a little pressure on it. Then you can remove the 6 bolts 3 on each and slowly lower it about 3 inches. Now you have 1 bolt going through the upper pto shaft going to the front of the motor but make sure that you disconnect the side that is attached to the engine. Now you can slowly lower it all the way down and remove the jack. You will have to lift the front of the pto frame up and off the 2 pins and then it's off. Install the factory skid plate you got back from the dealer and the rear one you had to remove to get the pto off and you are done. This may sound hard but trust me it's nothing. Please feel free to ask me any questions or if anyone has any video ideas you might like to see me do just message me and I will try to do my best. Thanks
Great videos, I have been thinking about purchasing an x1100c, but not many videos of individuals doing real work. Your video showing it pulling the bulldozer sold me. I have steep property and looking for something that has the torque to go up the hills. I don't need to go fast, but just need to go up steep hills to get firewood and land maintenance. Do you have any thoughts of its ability going up steep hills? Thank you! and keep these great videos coming! Also, would love to see a video of how you remove the PTO system, as I am also reluctant to purchase the PTO system because of the ground clearance concerns. Thanks so much again!!@@banger1322
