I bought mine new in year 2004, so I have had it 17 years! One of the best investment I have ever purchased! WE have put more hours on it than we have on 3 tractors all together! It will only run about 22 miles per hour, but on the farm that is fast enough! We pull equipment with it, pull off tree limbs, pull the pecan cleaner out to our pecan trees while we are combining! No other brand will even be closed to what it will do!
I have had the exact same one for 10 years now, and it was about 8 years old when I bought it, it has roughtly 2400 hours on it. Runs great, years ago I had to put in new rear CV joints, and at first I used cheap chinese CV joints from a major USA auto parts store, they lasted 20 hours, and then I broke down and bought the Kubota CV's (a lot more expensive) but so far 450 hours later they are still working great, I also had to replace the alternator and belt, and decided to do the water pupm while at it, not cheap, but I went with all Kubota parts. My wife and I definitly think that over the years that this has been an awesome investment as we use it to keep our acreage neat and we do a lot of yard work with it. I would buy another in a split second.
Nice honest review. These are not meant to be hotrod kiddie 4 wheelers. They are great little workhorses, just like you said. I love my 09 saves wear on my old truck as well. Thanks for posting.
Good, honest review. I've got the smaller RTV 500 with a large snow plow. It's NOT fast, but I don't need fast to climb over 250 feet of 1/3 mile driveway covered in 6inches of snow... Kubota's are WELL engineered.
Just bought a 2007 RTV 900 with 3000 hours at auction - actually in great shape! Added a used hydraulic bed lift kit that mine didn't have and absolutely love it. One thing I saw in your video is that the left hand hydraulic tank bracket appeared to be broken (it happens) allowing the tank to rub on the transmission guard. Concern here is that if you didn't detect the leak in time then the tank may run dry and ruin your hydraulic pump. Keep up the great work and God Bless!
We’ve got one at work (huge cemetery) and it’s an absolute beast! It regularly pulls out full size trucks stuck in the mud and the only drawback to it’s hauling capacity is the weight rating for the tires.
kubotas are real tough even there small machines can handle a big job big kubota tractor can wich kubota are the strongest and the best quality product i seen other brands try carry a bale wich it destroyed them and couldnt pull logs plus other brand rtvs cant put any 3 point hitches on them wich why kubota smart wich why kubotas is the best and toughest number 1 machine and prices are cheaper too :) its why great to be the great kubota fan thumbs up for kubota
I have a RTV 900, I am pleased with it, but I don’t like the way the bed side panels rattle. Any inputs as to how to stop the rattles from the bed side panels
Bought my based on your review. We use it on the ranch every day, Only downfall from me is mud tires are a must for wv hills. No doubt the work horse and can go where old pickups can't. Not a trail riders utv, this machine is meant for work.
like that underhood storage box, is that a kubota part, if not , name , part number ??, bolted down , ziptied , ?, problem w/a lot of videos, people dont spend a lot of time..and info.. about alot of these cool little things.., hate it when people say , google it , i say , i don't wanna spend hours looking, i make a lot of things 2 fit , savin the bucks !!!
Pretty rough review. Obvious you don't baby that thing. I have one myself and after running over trees that are about 1.5 in. thick and growing thick to haul out deer I have shot that have run into the woods I can say they can get in and out of a lot of bad places that after you have done it you might not do it again. I have bent metal where the trees just curled the metal up when I ran over small trees, but it kept going and was not noticed until later. Buying a vehicle like this is for what it will do others won't. Your quick fast running models are just that flash and speed. They couldn't go the places this thing can go and couldn't pull the load these will pull. Pretty, fast and speed buy something else. If you want power and being to be able to go even where you might be better off not to this is the kind of vehicle you need. Mine is a 2012 with a little over 300 hours and it runs great. Still looks good too. My bent metal is in spots that are not all that visible where the metal runs out and the plastic parts begin.
Ha! ha! ha! I'm glad to see I'm not the only goof thats tried to use that tinfoil brush guard for a pull point. ;-) Edit: Is the bracket for your hydro storage tank broke? That should be sitting level. Edit #2 the aircleaner opening on the cover should be pointed down, and its missing the crap guard. (Those fall off after a few years)
Yeah the brush guard is definitely not a pull point. The breather cap is inverted cause I had crossed a river a couple days earlier and was just trying to keep it dry. I'm not sure about the other thing.
RagingRudy Gaming with the breather off to the side it will actually hold it in. There is supposed to be a bird beak cover on it to mitigate water coming in.
This is random but I hate this thing. This is the same kubota. I got in a wreck with I let some dumbass friends drive it and they flipped the thing and it fell on my leg and crushed it. Snapped my femur and broke my growth plate and I’m living a miserable life at the moment. Not being able to walk and my leg is not going to be fully recovered until about a year. Had surgery done metal in my leg, and everytime I look at this I can remember it all over again and it makes me sick to my stomach. I hate this fucking thing.

Had one since 2004. Starts right up even after sitting in one spot for years.

A great accessory for that would be a garden hose and bottle of liquid soap!😊

Is English your second language?
Thank you!!!! I'm looking for a used one for the hunt club and this looks ideal.
I've driven a RTV 900 for work about 3 years now and never had a problem. My boss swore by them as do I now
Great machines

Love my Kubota RTV!

Great hope you enjoy it.
great review looking at one for my property and moving trailers
I would get a mule pro
Hi, thank you for this video, I am looking at a used, rusty specimen in Europe… I wonder if it is worth it, 6000 euros… 1250 hrs… what do you think?
Thanks for the review, I'm going to look at a new one .
I have exact model but even older only problem it had was the tires got punctured super easily but it got new tires so that’s fixed
like that underhood storage box, is that a kubota part, if not , name , part number ??, bolted down , ziptied , ?, problem w/a lot of videos, people dont spend a lot of time..and info.. about alot of these cool little things.., hate it when people say , google it , i say , i don't wanna spend hours looking, i make a lot of things 2 fit , savin the bucks !!!
What would cause my Kubota to sound like it's grinding
Nice to see a Kubota that wasn't dolled up with useless power robing equipment☺
The 900 is quicker than the 1100 at my work. These machines are governed so it's whatever Kubota set the max speed to.
Nice review getting one myself

the fuel caps leak on all of them but i love mine
Will it work with off-road diesel?
haven't tried off-road diesel might be worth looking up in the forums
If you mean red died diesel, yes it can. That's all I run through the one I use and it has over 2k hours on it.
Off road, and on road diesel are the exact same thing, so yes.
The only difference is one is taxed fuel for on-road, and the other is un-taxed, the color (Dye) is the only difference in the fuel.
vivo en colombia mas esactamente en el departamento del guaviare y quiero comprar un kubota rtb 900 de segunda mano como ago en colombia no hay
It only had 20 hp but it has 57 ft lbs of torque

repair drive belt
polaris
Mines a 2003 and I have 2084 hours on mine. You want a real review I could fill you in.
Worth it? Looking at one
