Hello my friends, while out putting hours on my recent 04 kubota 900 dieasel an making sure its up to par for my mountain an cabin tasks ,I wanted to (without gauges) test my hydrolics out as far as the drive train.
So I put the nose of the machine up against a heavy truck bumper, put my rtv in low range an depressed my accelerator pedal,the machine had good hard dirt for traction, an the rear tires just barely spun, I should say only rotated about 6 inches an that was it. Is that normal? Or should have the tires spun? I do know on my dads tractor with the same platform the tractor does the same as the rtv but that doesn't make it ok. Basically I'm concerned an want to make sure my trans an hydrolics is operating properly.is there a way I can test this in the drivers seat or do I need to just use gauges? I do have a friend of mine that rebuilds these completely as well as the trans cases on them ,but I try not to bother him.once I have done all I can,I am calling him an he offered to check everything over an do adjustments if necessary,but like I said,I'd like to do all I possibly can first so mayb you guys have input on how or if I can check the power from driving it to see if there's any issues.im actually nervous about this it drives fine in all ranges,,an in 4x4. I started at the bottom of a very large dirt pile,put my rtv in 4 low,pushed the accelerator pedal an I climbed the pile going basically straight up!! Great traction an climbed beautiful.but also no weight in it,just myself.so how should these work? (React)
Thanks again everyone
