New to me 2015 Kubota RTV x1100c

[Doc]

I finally pulled the trigger on this one. just after semi deciding to wait longer into spring to buy. I could not pass this one up. Not sure I could have found another cream puff like this one.

2015 Kubota RTV x1100c, 220 hours, 677 miles. I love the H and L without the M. I put it in H and was able to go up a hill that would have required M in my other RTV's. (900 and 1140).

Here are some pics of my new baby and a couple with the Honda beside it. The Honda is a dirty girl. We rode some trails a few nights ago and got her big time dirty. Hoping to clean her up soon. When it gets warmer.

The one thing this RTV needs is tires. I'm surprised with the low miles, must've been primarily concrete. One other thing I'd like to add is blinkers. It has all the options, even the hand throttle and windshield wiper but no turn signals.

check to see if it has the red rubber flap on top of the engine and check the outboard part of the control a arms to see if they are aluminum or cast?

 

[Doc]

I saw the rubber flap when I was looking at it. I think it was red, not positive.
Will have to check the control arms.

Ohh Congrats ! Hope you like it as much as I like mine. What she cost ya Doc?

 

[Doc]

They were asking 12, I offered 10 and they took it. They had it on the market a few weeks and wanted to sell NOW. I was happy to comply and buy earlier than I planned. I have room to store it inside so no biggie.

 

[HBTexas]

Stole it !!
With the good mirrors and over head lights !

Just want to let you know if you are planning on trail riding or driving on the roads you may be in for a surprise. in Wisconsin you cannot register the Kubota 4 riding on the roads or trails it is considered farm equipment. I had them put on the blinker kit when I purchase the machine and it was a waste of money because of the road situation. I still drive on the roads here but I have stayed out of town. I don't think the police officers in my area would do anything if they caught me. Good luck with your new machine you really got a deal on that.

Thanks. In Ohio i can license my Honda for side roads. Still not allowed on main roads. I see it as a way for them to get my tax money and once registered you have to renew every 3 years. Ba Humbug. I'm in the sticks and have never seen the law while putting 4k miles on the Honda. Every time I venture off my property I go onto state routes with 55mph speed limit. I feel much safer with turn signals to let a car or truck coming up behind me what my intentions are. Sometimes I put on the left signal and pull off to side for them to pass, other times I'm turning to the right. Normally I'm only on those roads for 2/10's of a mile but I had a close call with the Honda when I was turning right and a car was flying up behind and thinking of passing. I also think IF I were to get stopped by the authorities having a buggy equipped with most available safety features would be a plus. But my primary concern is the safety of me and my passengers in my buggy.

How much did it cost to have turn signals added to your RTV?

 

[Westfield]

I also put a slow-moving vehicle sign on the back of my machine. Going 25 miles an hour when you're on a 50 mile an hour road they come up pretty quick behind you. The cost for the blinkers setup was $289 and that was put on at the dealership.

Congratulations Doc !!! Great looking machine !!!!!

Congrats Doc!

 

[Doc]

Thanks guys.
In the pics you might notice a small rubber antenna at right rear side of cab. But no radio in cab, does not appear to have ever had a radio. It has a cover plate of the top center of the cab where a radio could go. Does the antenna normally come already installed on the x1100c to make it easier to have a radio?

 

[bczoom]

What kind of winch is installed and does it come with a wireless remote? The antenna may be for the remote. My Ramsey has an antenna.

 

[Doc]

The paperwork that came with the machine showed it is a harbor freight winch, not wireless dang it.

 

[Doc]

I see the red cover. Not sure where control arms are. So pics from a few angles. What is the adjustment do Hickey in the rear by the tire?

 

[Doc]

I'm having a hard time finding the size of tires on the machine. That is the reason for posting the tires.
Sorry pics posted out of order.
I took one of the brush guard, I know it's plastic but better than nothing.
The adjustment by the reair tire is in the 5th pic over.
Can you tell what type of catalytic converter in on this machine from the rear pic of the muffler. Different than all the other RTV's I've owned.
Thanks all/

 

[HBTexas]

That antenna has to be pre wired to the radio area.
Tires look like 25x10x12's thats what Was on mine also
Ive also wondered what the adjustment duhickey is for .

 

[bczoom]

Doc - On the older RTV's, just below the ROPS serial # plate (looking at ROPS from the rear of it on the passenger side) was a decal that gave OEM tire sizes for each variant of the RTV (Rec, GP, Worksite...). Is there a similar decal on your new machine?

Just what does red rubber flap, mean??

I was going to ask the same question.
