Awesome that they put a PTO on those things. Game changer. LOL.

Nice machine. I need a new RTV....downsizing and duties have increased.

Is the larger front wheel optional?

No PTO. Landprice RC is for the Kubota B

So how are the RTV 500 series these days? Any good improvements? I have a 2010 RTV 500. It has treated me well since new. Just a turd in power, stiff ride and low ground clearance. But its starts up and runs every time. I have a love hate relationship with it. Only has 200 hours on it, but the cheap vinyl seat covering cracked on the edge of the seat a while ago and something in the rear brakes/wheels clanks around from time to time and I haven't diagnosed it yet.

Interesting....my original year RTV900 vinyl seats gave out cracks just before Xmas.

Here's a video that shows a Kubota RTV dragging a Gator around with the Gator's tires spinning:

About 2/3 way through.
