I am not sure about the non diesel models, but the way the hydrostat works with the transmission there is a fine line between speed and the ability to climb hills. You can milk a little more speed out of the diesel models but in the end you will not be able to climb hills.

I think if I were you I would either get some gauges and check pressures as per the manual or pull the hst and check the wear on the pump swash plate ant on the motor. Also look for some older post from Arthuritus. He has helped several guys get their machines fixed. He is a wealth of...

did you get a workshop manual?

the X1140 and the X1100 have the same transmission and HST unit. go to www.kubotabooks.com and down load a workshop manual the quantities are in there. Make sure you use only Kubota Super UDT2 when you re fill it.

did you drain the tank under the passenger seat? Also did you inspect the strainer in that tank?

Yes they are.

With the skid plates it is real hard to tell where the leaks come from. I have found leaks by removing the skid plates and cleaning everything off and then look for leaks every time before and after I drove it. Mine is almost 10 years old though. If I had a new one It would go back to the...

I played around with one and couldn't get it to work. I figured the metal it was next to kept the magnet from attracting the reed. I mounted mine near the drivers beverage holder. The only draw back is the wire has a long run. I ran my wire down the back of the cab and under the floor, I saw...

Do you have access to a workshop manual? I would assume you do since you know where to check the pressures. If you don't you can download a workshop manual at kubotabooks.com I would disassemble the HST and inspect the swashplates on the pump and the motor in the HST. Hopefully Arthuritus...

I also remember the only way to loosen and tighten the ac is through the seats.

don't quote me but if I remember correctly you need to drop the skid plates and remove the AC belt. to get in there.

Neither of the two videos shows how to remove the K connect system from the RTV. I looked into this when I first got my X1100 and I could not wrap my brain around the system and how it connects to the rear of the engine. If anyone has ever separated the engine from the transmission you...

On the x series RTVs the reservoir under the passenger seat is the most important fluid to making it go. Make sure you pull the pick up screen out of the bottom of the tank and ensure it is not plugged up. And make sure the hoses going to and from that tank do not collapse when running. The...

I reused it. I don't have a good reason why I reused it, and after looking over the parts break outs I am not sure I would. In this case I would go look at a new x model or ask on here for someone the send a picture.

I did a preemptive repair about 6 months ago. Kubota changed the muffler and mounting points. My guess if they broke too many tabs off the transmission.
