Hello would you possibly have the Kubota part number for a replacement cable
Check out www.messicks.com/vendor/kubota They have it online. It takes a bit to figure out how they have things organized but it's pretty easy to navigate.
You the man, thanks and good videos they have helped me a lot with pos
Wanted to go faster put a turbo on it and bigger tires quit crying about it.... spend that money.....
That works some too. Part if this machine is how the VHT works. Just adding horsepower doesn't modify the variability system.
I continue to have ‘hard shift’ issues on my 2015 900. I’ve tried the pressure release adjustment that you mentioned on another video. Only very slight improvement. You are the only person who has mentioned the HST shift link adjustment. I will proceed through your entire optimization protocol and see if I can solve the issue. Thanks!
Did you get it figured out?
How did you get 32 mph on the road did you adjust the tranmission or did you turn up the fuel?
It's a little bit of both. Some extra rpm on the engine and adjusting all of the linkage. I have more videos of the whole process! Thanks for watching 👀
I have the same machine How the heck can you go that fast
Hey! Go through my videos, I lay it all out!
You actually want the oil to come out more forcefully, to help “pull” any contaminants from the bottom of the oil pan. You can take a paper towel and wipe the little bit of oil off the crossmember, it won’t permanently taint it.
That makes good sense!
Off-road vehicles are trash in any brand. Stay away unless you have more money than brains. Which is usually the case.
I think its on the maintenance side that people have the most problems. Dealing with water, rocks, long grass that spins around axels and such. People do clean that all off and maintain it.
This tip applies to many more vehicles, particularly to a number of newer SUVs and trucks with large oil capacity and even smaller ATVs/UTVs, where the oil drain plug is horizontal (to protect it), which shoots oil sideways when draining.
Very true!
Please tell me where you placed the car hoist lifting pads on the frame of your rtv 1140. Thanks.
22 mph flat ground on a incline not a big one just little one just want climb in h have to stop and go to low at 4 mph to get up any incline any advice
Have you changed the fluid and filters?
You seem very knowledgeable and experienced with these transmissions so I thought I’d ask. I rebuilt one last week because the internal shift fork had damage and wouldn’t shift into reverse at all. I got it tore down and fixed it. Put it all back together and drover it around for awhile and all gears worked no issue. I made a little mistake and the 4wd wouldn’t shift at all so I tore it back down and realized my issue was 4wd gear set. Reinstalled it properly and put it all back together, made sure everything shifted properly and it all did. I get it all back together and now it wants to grind when I try to shift forward or reverse, but it was operating perfectly the first rebuild and when I tore it back apart to fix the 4wd, I only uninstalled the first section of trans case which held 4wd and the 2 orings. With that being said, I can’t imagine it’s an internal issue. Can you help me out? My coworker said he thinks it’s idled up a little too high and could cause it to grind when trying to shift but I’m away from the machine until Monday. Please help lol
Update, forgot to put that with the machine off, it will shift through all gears with no bind or any indication that something is installed wrong.
Could be too high of idle speed. Also could be the hst not in a neutral position. Lift up the rear, disconnect the hst rod from the back end and start it to see if that works. Then while it's running and in gear connect the rod and adjust it so the wheels don't spin. Does that make sense?
@@SearlesStation yes it does and I was already thinking too high of idle but I just wanted to see if you had anything else in mind. Thank you so much. I subscribed! And I will update to say what the issue was later today
Update. It was indeed the hst rod was adjusted out. Raised the rear end and adjusted until the wheels stopped and no more grind. Thanks so much man. Although I have no idea how it got out of adjustment because all I did was unbolt the rod and drop it down lol
Love your videos man please keep making them. I just bought the 2024 1130. I put a lift and 28" tires on it. I want to do some things to the engine to give it more power up hills. However it may void my warranty. Can you make videos on all the oil changes.
Awesome series! Seriously Kubota should pay you for selling RTVs for them. After going through your series and getting my RTV up to about 30mph with plenty of power to go up hills on our hunting club, 2 members have ordered one. They used to call me grandpa bc my machine lost so much speed & power so quickly. It was mostly stretched cables. It’s been “repaired” twice with no improvement. With some pliers and a few wrenches I was able to get all my original power back plus add more in about 45 minutes. Can’t thank you enough.
Do you rebuild the pumps for a 2005 rtv900?
Great demonstration. Is that wheezing coming from the HST? Is it normal ? Mine does it too
Thank you! Yes, there is a whirrrr sound to the hst. Almost like a bad bearing or something 🤔
Ing forward to the x1100 up dates
Great video for anyone wondering why their rtv doesn’t move . This is what you’re getting into. It’s complex for a side by a side .
When you going to release video 6 to show us how to adjust the HST.
good day . i was waching your video , seen your pile of broken parts . had my pump apart . did not find any thing wrong in it , end up pulling some of the valves apart to see if any springs where broken . i have a small peice i can not find where it goes . i would like to know if you still have your broken pump parts from the rtv x900 i am looking for the steel plate that holds all the valves .
Old school excavation
Low overhead!
Thanks for this series. I have a two post auto hoist like you but have been reluctant to lift my RTV X1140 without being sure where to place the lift arm pads. Please advise on your experience.
Hi. Got a question you may be able to help me with. I have a 2018 1100c I just bought used. I decided to do all the preventative maintenance since this is new to me. Today I tackled the HST. I changed out both filters with new Kubota filters. After I changed them out I took it for a test ride and things were fine. I then checked the fluid level and found it to be way overfilled. I decided that I would loosen the big filter and let fluid drain from that since that filter seemed to leak fluid the entire time. After what i thought was enough fluid removed I put the filter back on. Now I have no transmission. I did all the preventive things I found on the internet that included lifting the wheels off the ground and running it till the wheels spin. Once that happened I took it for a ride. It was very sluggish and when I got it up to speed and lifted the gas pedal it was like someone hit the brakes hard and then it would jerk forward. I suspect either there is air in the system or the pumps aren't getting fluid. Nothing I have done helped. If it sits for a while it won't move until I raise it up and do the pedal thing until the wheels move. I even reverted to putting the old large filter back on to see if that changed anything. (it didn't). So before I call a dealer I am wondering if there is a trick to purge the system of air or a way to see if fluid is getting to the pumps as they should. The fluid level is currently correct. Any help is appreciated. Lou
With the hydraulic transmission there is no coasting like a regular vehicle. If you take your foot off the pedal it does come to an immediate stop. That is normal operation. There shouldn't be air trapped in the system after a few moments of operation. It should clear itself. Which location are you checking for fluid level? The orange/yellow cap under the bed is basically for the gears only. The tank under the passenger seat is the operation fluid. If that one is low, that could be your issue. Lift the seats, take out the tray and you'll see a rubber plug on the passenger side. Check that, or let me know if it's at a correct level.
Funny that I just got your response. I just returned from the kubota dealer and when I inquired a kind man said "did you check the tank under the passenger seat". I did and it was almost completely empty. I put in 1 1/2 gallons of udt2. Started in up, let it run a few minutes then drove away. Problem solved! Based on how hard it was to open the filler plug I guess it has never been checked or topped off. Thank you for your help.
i hope this channel isnt AI generated text to video, because i really enjoy your content.
I hope so too
I got a older model the 1140 and I’m having overheating issues cleaned the radiator flushed cooling system and refilled with 50/50 coolant thermostat and water pump is working good what could the problem be?
Most likely it's a cracked head or head gasket. You can pressure/compression test the cylinders to see if you can tell.
@@SearlesStationdon’t think that’s the issue and usually that’d be more rapid mine will only overheat if I am using it hard like driving it down the road in high and holding it for 15 minutes it’ll be near the red but if I sit at a stop sign for 2-5 minutes it’ll cool right down to straight up on the gauge but then in another 5-10 minutes it’s back hot. Had someone tell me to get a bigger radiator made to cool more water but if I fold up back 2 seats and leave a gap it won’t get over halfway on the gauge no matter how long I drive
Thanks for this video
Most welcome, glad it helps!
Need help finding the video my x1140 when new did 24 am lucky if I can get 18 mph
Thanks for watching!
The Kubota rtv is a good reliable workhorse but if you want speed buy a different make
For sure, for sure. But it can go 30 no problem. When I hear people say it only goes 16 or 20, that just not right.
Different "foot control" question. I have a 2012 1100C and my neighbor has a 2014. My pedal requires double the pressure to use it compared to his. It's just too much. Is there a spring adjustment or something?
Ah yes. Could be a couple things. Over time the cable gets rusty inside the sleeve. Should be spray greased every 200 hours or so. There is also a grease point under the bed that gets overlooked too. Try to grease the cable at both ends and see if you can see the grease zerk. Have some in the cab pumping the throttle slowly and you should be able see where things pivot and go. Then spray the heck out of it!
why would anyone buy one of these machine they are very slow
Primarily for work. Hydraulic bed, towing and hauling capacity, integrated pto, heated and air conditioned cab. They are not for ripping around, they are for getting the job done.
They're tanks. They'll out pull most everything else. They're better for applications where they need brute force not really speed. They're easy to control on steep hills because the hydro doesn't jerk and get grabby like a cvt does, at least not if it's properly calibrated. We do wish ours had more speed, but the vast majority of what we do is just crawling around in the woods, or putt putting down the road relaxing and watching the scenery go by. We tend to go about 17mph even on our roads around here. It's only when you need to go faster that it becomes a problem. I'm sure a lot of people need high speeds more than the other advantages and those people shouldn't buy these.
How are you getting 33 mph out of that machine? I have the same XR1100 and can't get it over 22mph on a downhill and 12mph on an uphill. I'm in H gear when this is happening. All fluids have been changed.
Look through my other videos. You can set yours up the same way. Pretty easy adjustments! 👌
How do I turn up the hydrostatic trans pressure on a RTV900?
Great video series, Thanks! Wondering if you could guess at the issue I'm having with my 2018 X1140. New to me, has 720 hours, and seems in great condition. Only issue is: When I'm traveling down hills (even fairly shallow hills) as soon as the speed from gravity seems to overtake the hydrostatic effort, it loses power. The engine stays running strong, and I can even rev it up, but it's as though it's been shifted into neutral until the machine slows nearly to a stop. Then, it'll re-engage power. Happens very consistently. Spoke with a dealer that guessed the governor is engaging, but... from your video the governor you mentioned is just that set scew, so I don't see how that's the issue. Any idea?
I think there may be an issue with the hydraulic part of the transmission. It's an interesting issue because it really should build speed downhill with full throttle. There are some internal hydraulic valves, something may be stuck, broken, plugged in there. I wish I could drive it to see what's up.
Thanks for the video! That made my acceleration so much smoother!
Awesomeness! I'm glad it helped.
I have a 2015 RTV x1100c and it has stranded in the field. How can I disengage the transmission to tow it back to the shop? Or can I just pull it back to shop without disengaging? Thank you for any help
You should be able to put it in neutral... Press the brake hard and try to shift it. If that doesn't work, there maybe be an issue with the gears, if that's the case it may not move. Pull the orange/yellow dipstick and look inside to see if you can see any gear damage.
Let me know if you get it.!
It's not hung in gear the fuel shutoff solenoid is bad. I just wanted to make sure if I could Pull it back to shop without disengaging hydro. Thank you
And I subscribed!! I bought one at auction. With no engine or HST. So have a good body with no guts. If you want to rebuild mine to make a video. Will pay for parts and labor too!!
I would love to!
Appreciate you uploading video! Why do you need a transmission. Is it possible to hook up drive motor to a drive shaft directly? Have a hydraulic pump hooked to engine. And go directly to a drive motor to drive the shaft? And do away with the transmission.
You could. It would be possible!
@@SearlesStation I have one that I bought at auction. No engine, but have the transmission. Are you interested in another project. To put on youtube ?
If my rtv 1140 is shifting and I can see gears moving inside tranny through the fill port . Should I be testing my charge pressure ? Thank you
It doesn’t move forward or reverse , sorry forgot to put that in there
Yes, both charge pressure and relief pressure. Check fluid level, filters. Sometimes the rubber hose can collapse on the hydraulic lines ans not allow fluid to move. Squeeze them to see if they are soft and squishy
@@SearlesStation thank you for your reply My charge pressure was 0 psi in neutral and high idle . I removed 2 separate relief valves and saw no scoring or anything bad . All components in place and moved freely. I did replace filters and hoses looked ok but will check that again . I had the charge pressure port in the back off and open and started it and hardly any fluid came out . Bearly dribbled .
My new RTV-X2 tops out at 19 on fairly level road. I was expecting 25.
It will get a bit better as it breaks in. After a couple hundred miles, bring it in or adjust some stuff.
Wow it’s huge! Niiice shop. So cool. Congratulations. Wow even had a basement? Better put some good Walking Dead security on it for when shit really hits the fan. Ever come to California for vacation? Traveling Mechanic? Lol I know who wants to come to CA anymore? Shit show. Wishful thinking don’t have a big farm but from watching your Kubota series would be awesome to have you tweak, tune our Kubota x900 also have a tractor don’t know what size it if you even work on that type of stuff. Definitely have old barns that need repaired. Random curiosity
My sister lives in Chico. Are you near there?
@@SearlesStation no but my brother just purchased a farm up in Corning which is sorta near Chico? (with house and nice shop not like yours though) with bunch Pomegranate trees (hence tractor needed to bring up to prune or trim and do some other work) but he’s the one that needed work on the tractor. Our farm is 20 min south of San Francisco on the coast. We have the x900 kubota That we use around the farm as well as a ball picker upper (own a driver range which is part of the farm and the reason why I was lookin up kubota RUclips’s blew a radiator hose and alarm went off that it was overheating. But guess we got a hold of some Service guy that thankfully will be here tomorrow to fix it. Spoke to him on the phone said to probably the thermostat said to just take it off because their thermostats are known to do that. But bf couldn’t figure it out (took it off but still overheated) so more money down the drain. Story of everyone’s life these days. But dad would rather have guy come out that knows what he is doing than risk screwing it up worse. Was hoping it was a simple fix because I don’t feel like picking up balls by hand but thankfully it rained like crazy today so no one came over to hit just hope they can fix it tomorrow. Sorry for the waaaay too much info. But let me know if you ever come to visit your sister our town is kind of a nice place to visit for a day trip. We used to have a nice car, truck,motorcycle, air show but got canceled this year for some lame excuse and predict it won’t come back due to the world going to hell and we have same crazy making the rules that like to regulate everything even though they know nothing (Referring to emissions kind of stuff. Ya know from the people that say “it’s time for farms to go extinct”, want to outlaw diesel trucks and gas stoves etc etc.
Would all of this info apply to an X900 Kubota as well?
Yeah, it's pretty much the same stuff
Can you do this with a X900 diesel 4x4 Kubota?
Yes
I adjusted my linkage like you did here and now my rtv 1100 only goes 28 kph where before that it was going 38-40, could it be that the cable beside idler cable could posibly be streched?
You can adjust it with the wheels on the ground to just before they start moving. That's a bit more dangerous because it will move. It's surprising that it's that much different.
After releasing throttle on a downhill it will stop very slowly or even will not. And I a missing some power for acceleration ur uphill. I have set a linkage to hidrostatic motor that it does not turn wheels when in high gear and lifted. Any idea what it wrong. Thank you.
These will come to a stop or very slow down hill. That's how the hydrostatic system works. If it's in gear it will only move if the throttle is in acceleration. They do lose speed up hill. I have a video showing the uphill speed. Check that out
I saw your video and I expect to come to a stop. But mine would not. My friend drowe it yesteday and he said it should brake much more than it does after relasing power becouse he owns one and it does so. Can I try to adjust something? Thanks
Your pressure relief valve may be stuck open. That would allow for loss of acceleration as well. This video talks about hard shifting because the valve isnt being pushed, but yours may be always pushed or bad. ruclips.net/video/q-C3KzQ6NwA/видео.htmlsi=u67twtgdW27JuLPM
When I have it on flat or lifted rear wheels and in high gear it will not move. It even shifts good without pushing brake. But I lack of acceleration after 10mph. It will creep to 20.
Check the hydraulic hoses for collapse or softness, that can restrict flow. Your hydraulic pump or motor may be bad, the relief valve may be bad, their definitely seems to be something wrong with your hydraulic system. Change fluid, filter?
Video solved my problem on X1140. RTV would not move forward or go in reverse. Discovered that the nut fell off the linage tie rod end. Many thanks!
AWESOME! I'm so glad it helped. Thanks for letting me know.
Can not hear you !!!
I will work on it 😀
WE CAN"T HEAR YOU !!!!!
Next time
Nice setup
Thanks! I'm happy with it!
5,000 hrs just broke in
Just getting warmed up!
You have found you calling lol😮. So many of us want the Kubota reliability with the heat and air but just hate the no power or speed. 30 mph with power is all we need and don’t lose the reliability factor. Make more videos ,machine some custom parts show us the available of what engines with more power would fit without problems . Make a front locker for them . Open a shop we will all ship our machines to you for modifications you will be a billionaire. Thanks 😊
Thank you! I do have some product ideas to improve performance. I'd be open to mods and setups! No problem, bring it on
Great video and modifications
😀
