I am working in a project to try and build a flow diversion barrier to direct runoff from my major property access track. Since putting in some new firebreaks in that area I’ve created problems of runoff and erosion. I initially started earthworks using tractor and backhoe, but am now filling in...

Update from me and our RTVX So via the services of a freight forwarding company I received a seizmik front rack, folding windshield, seat covers and mirrors all purchased from Farm and Trail. This all safely made it around the world from the east coast to our outback homestead. Even with...

Hi ItBMine To be honest I haven’t had time to use the 1130 much… Just so busy around the property! We have only had two or three drives in it and haven’t had time to use it for work. First impressions were very favourable. I’m currently fitting a folding windshield and hood rack and mirrors...

I have ordered two accessories for our RTVX. They are now on en route to us here in Australia. 1 a versa-fold windshield 2 a hood carry-rack Also mirrors and seat covers They have come from Trail and Farm. Will update when they arrive Alan

Hi everybody. Hope all and their families are well. So we’re about three weeks into Kubota ownership and have really only used it two or three times. It’s still on its first tank of fuel. But we love it! Last night my wife and our boy climbed into the RTVX and went for a cross country spin...

Yep, it’s when you first get your machine you have the energy and enthusiasm to get set up properly… So trying to sort it out now. I carry rudimentary tool kits in all our vehicles for simple trail side repairs, and need to do the same with the RTVX. Incidentally I am adding two principle...

Smiling green. Thanks for your considered response to my post. I can assure you I’m having no second thoughts on the RTVX. It was selected over other side by side brands with one mission. To carry 550 kg ( 1000 + lbs) in the bed and haul it around our property tracks including the very...

OK the whole family went out for a spin in the RTVX yesterday evening. More general performance testing. We drove up the steepest track we have on the property. Low range, diff locked. It went smoothly up, no spinning wheels, at 4 km/h. So say 2 miles an hour. Neighbours UTVs rocket up like a...

Hey Doc. I prefer to carry a spare for two reasons. I could be operating in our district a long way from our homestead and our homestead is a long way from anywhere we can get a replacement tyre if it’s damaged beyond repair. One of the main purposes our unit will be put to is fire...

Ok so now we have the Kubota, together with a spare tyre and rim. In each of my vehicles I keep a basic toolkit with the right size and type of tools for that vehicle. Can anybody suggest a good minimum set of tools for basic tasks like tyre replacement, filter replacements and drive train and...

Some pics of the RTVX out and about. My wife loves it, which is a good thing. The Boy likes it too, but he rides in the back. First observation. We took it up a very steep gravel surfaced hill in four low. It just walked up. The four wheel drive truck it replaced would often spin wheels on...

Hey a big thanks to everybody who has provided expert advice, suggestions and insights in response to my questions. You blokes are Gold! My brand new RTVX arrived today on a tilt tray and I have just driven it five miles from our gate on the road up to the homestead. Some would consider that...

Hello folks, as some of you may be aware I have been awaiting delivery of my new RTVX 1130. It is now all ready for collection. Today I called the dealer and requested that they give it a really good pre delivery inspection, asking them among over things to check the motor was making full...

Just had word from my stealer that the ATV tyres have turned up on a truck and are being fitted ‘as soon as possible’. So delivery day looming… Alan

Thanks for these pics ItBmine! I can see hill is there and interesting to see the earth dumped. That is exactly one purpose we have in mind for our 1130. We move lots of earth about. Unfortunately our gradients are really steep in places, but we wouldn’t take them at more than walking pace...

Hi ItBMine, Thanks for your response. Can you explain exactly how it is that the RTVx puts more power to the ground as grunt ( torque?) than vehicles with substantially greater horsepower and torque specs. I am absolutely prepared to believe this true (I have put a lot of money down on my...

Hi folks I introduced myself previously to this forum, but to those who missed it I’m a soon to be owner of a new RTVX 1130, delivery due next week. I have a general question. The RTVX series is obviously highly regarded for its work capacity, perhaps more so than other side by side brands...

Thanks Doc My challenge is finding the four items I require from a single supplier, so I only pay freight once. Farm and trail have all four. So I might just bite the bullet and place the order and see what they charge me for freight Alan

Hi Biff Many thanks for your welcome. I have no prior experience of RTV or UTV ownership so all expert knowledge and advice will be welcome. We are looking to immediately purchase from an aftermarket supplier: Fold-down type windshield Hood mounted carry rack/basket Seat covers Side...

Hi team RTVX newbie here. Very excited to shortly be taking delivery of a 1130. But need some accessories. More of that below. My name is Alan and I live remote in the Northern Territory of Australia. The 1130 is intended to replace a hard working Toyota pickup that we have had for about 26...
