Had enough of the oil spots on a clean garage floor. The Kubota service manual does not mention this service...you would think its similar to a car...No? WRONG I experienced the same frustration, mentioned by another forum member, what a royal PITA. There is no room to use a seal puller and...

Thanks to all for your input. This site is an awesome source of RTV experience. As suggested above I will mount the winch on the chipper. The feed wheel cover is about 1/4" thick, with 1/2" bolts holding it in place. At this location the PU bed winch arm is long enough to reach over the feed...

While hauling logs weighing several hundred pounds I noticed the bed wanting to tilt up, but only a few inches. The logs extended a few inches past the flat tailgate. If the dump bed lever is in the lock position, with the engine running, it can still tilt up?

Yes I have considered that.Too bad I don't have welding equipment/experience to fabricate something. Was looking for an off the shelf solution. If its not a mega $$ job local welders cannot be bothered.

A 12" turbo diesel machine but I seldom chip trees over 6". Mostly ash on the property, which is easy enough to load manually. Gum, oak, elm can be a struggle.

My purpose for the bed crane is to skid and lift tree debris onto the chipper feed table. Its not needed for loading material onto the RTV bed. I was thinking of parking the RTV aside of the chipper to help with that. A winch or crane mounted to the chipper would be ideal but there is no...

Found this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ePpT6iCgwc A DIY build. Hard to tell how its mounted.

What a bargain...NOT On sale: $3,239.99 Retail Price:$3,299.99 You Save:$60.00(2%)

Could you clarify...is the engine bogging down while you are climbing? If so this may help... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz6Rb9wBwf8 15mph on the flat, 10mph on hills unloaded, is about all I see from my RTV900. I have no need to go faster.

The RTV900 has proven itself on my property by hauling logs over rough/steep terrain. It would be ideal if I could skid tree debris to the chipper feed table. Would this be stretching the limits? Mounted in the corner at the front or back of the bed...

Contacted Messicks and they clarified the knuckle diagram for me. $56 for a seal...ouch.

Spotted oil seepage around the drivers side front wheel. Since the CV boots were shot I replaced both front axles. But after a test drive the steering arm is still wet with oil. Its seeping from where the front axle mates with the knuckle case. I cannot tell from Messic's site diagram which...

Looking at the attached schematic the starting circuit is straightforward. The starter relay, ignition switch and safety switch are the only active components in the circuit to the starter. When you say it won't start should we assume you do not hear the starter solenoid click? If so a meter...

That is about the number of threads I had exposed, did not shave anything from the bolt head. A nut was threaded on the screw before cutting, to chase the threads. A plastic shim was wedged between the screw head and casting behind it. Needle nose pliers were used to position the screw and...

Hold off on that... If you cut the bolt for the T stat housing there are enough threads (4 or 5) to make a good seal. It is a PITA but it beats removing the head again or the chain cover. I won't take credit for this suggestion, I found it here using the search feature.

Situation normal with RTVs used for winter parking lot maintenance. Herc rental (Hertz) had several for sale that I passed on. Kubota seems to be a favorite with them.

Speaking from personal experience... While you are in there with a gauge check the head for flatness. This engine is robust, if a cylinder is toast I suspect poor maintenance is likely the cause. Engine temp can read normal, until its under load when it blows out the coolant.

My BX2350 tractor has the same engine as the RTV. As mentioned above for whatever reason the RTV engine is much louder at low rpms. Sounds like loose bolts inside the engine. Maybe because the tractor engine is covered by a hood...can't say for sure. The tractor does not have a spedo. but...

There are plenty of options for the DIYer. At your purchase price you have plenty of wiggle room. Kubota injectors are pricey. The e bay equivalents (Chinese) cost much less and have worked for me without issues. Engine rebuild kits are about $500. A bare engine block from Kubota is $500...
