Hello All, RTV500 lacking power which leads me to the coil. i'm reading 3 ohms primary and 29.8 k on the secondary. What is the spec for the secondary? Thanks! Andy

Hey I’m thinking about selling my RTV500 500 Been having a few issues with it sputtering and no power Just wondering if anyone might be interested Only thing is I live in Newfoundland Canada Thanks

Hey all, Anyone have a source for the ATV tires that come optioned on the RTV500? I don't like my worksite tires any longer and the ATV tires will serve me better. Looking for a source cheaper than the dealer. Messicks only seems to have the worksite tires.

Hello folks - I just changed the transmission fluid and filters on my 2013 RTV500 Serial number 33297 with 72 hours on the clock. I bought it used at 70 hours and don't think its ever had any maintenance done on it. I used Kubota filters (verified correct filters) and Kubota Super UDT2 fluid...

1Pack 1.5 inch Rubber Cushioned Stainless Steel Cable Clamp, Hose Clamp Pipe/Wire Cord Installation Clamp - - Amazon.com There's 4 pics will try more. I made my own two piece windshield for my RTV500 with sloping windshield posts. I wanted two piece so I can remove or tilt the bottom piece...

My Grandson wanted a dirt bike which I won't help with so we (He and I) moved to a 4 wheeler which are on record as being so dangerous and injury reports so bad around here so I chose not to got that route. My RTV1140 is so big and my Grandson has been driving it since I bought it 8 years ago...

The inlet pipe to the RTV500 air filter canister appears to have a foam filter stuck into the top. I found this while evicting a used bird nest. I can't find this filter listed anywhere and can't get it out with out disassembling the intake pipe and hose. Any ideas on how I should proceed...

Thinking it would be handy to have something like a 4x6 or 4x8 trailer I could pull behind my Kubota RTV500. Any suggestions? I already have a 5x10 7K GVW (~2400lb) Load Trail dump trailer. Hauls the RTV500 or BX2370 nicely.

Picked one up this afternoon.

Anyone know where I can a whole tail light assembly besides a special order from the dealer? Hadn't had much luck poking around online.

Recently had the steering shaft replaced under recall then also had the Dealer change oil and filter. Was traveling on street at 15 mph and after going 1/2 mile the smoke started. Shut it off and after checking that there wasn't a fire, started up and returned home; started blowing white smoke...

Adding new LEDs to our rtv 500. Got evening figured out, but one item. Where to I pick up 12v for the switch? I don't really want to use the oem headlight switch as it want to use my LEDs without having to power my headlights when plowing. Any ideas? And yes, I'm using a relay to power the...

So I've had my RTV a little over a month now and I've used 4wd quite a bit with the rain here in the South. I've noticed more noise from the front end while in 4wd compared to 2wd. The noise doesn't sound bad but I'm curious if this is common with the RTV 500's? If not I'll bring to the dealer...

Hello, I'm new to the forum and also a new owner of a Kubota RTV500. I have a couple questions I was hoping to get advice on. First, should I let my local Kubota dealer install their winch (Warn 2500), which would run me $500.00 but it would be done like it come from the factory that way? Or...

I farm in extremely dusty considerations (especially so now with a record drought). That dust will eat up an engine in no time flat (my son's new go kart in less than 2 hours...POS air filter that came with it didn't do squat. Got a better filter assembly made a new one after cleaning up the...

I've been trying to find a snowplow for my Kubota RTV500 but most sites list plows that will fit model years from 2009 thru 2013. I bought my RTV500 new in August of 2009 but the dealer said it was a 2008 model. One snowplow dealer I talked to said he didn't even know they made the RTV500 in...

I am about to buy a Kubota utility vehicle. I am leaning toward the 500 for several reasons: (1) I understand it is quieter than the diesel 900 (2) the 500 will go on the back of a pickup (3) increased maneuverability of the 500 vs. the 900. It is a couple thousand dollars cheaper than the...

This is my second summer with my Kubota RTV500, 415 hours. I bought it new. Last summer it was faultless. This summer it is vapor locking in the afternoon when temperature is in the 90's. Stalls out, engine won't "catch". It will not start until temp falls into the 70's, then it starts...

I max out with tools on the Kubota RTV500 during Spring. Only a few more tools and I WILL BE WALKING.

It was a beautiful day in North-Central Florida. Attached the MUTS trailer to the RTV500, loaded the Wallenstein BX42s PTO Chipper onto 3-Pt. of Kubota B3300SU.....and went chipping. We are having Fall. Our leaves are turning colors, although muted because temps are still in the 70's. C'mon...

Kubota v4339 Front or Rear Worklight Kit (RTV500)

What follows are my initial impressions after a few hours operation on my new RTV500. I bought the orange worksite base model. I selected the RTV500 almost entirely through a process of eliminating UTVs that did not meet my requirements. I was primed to buy the Kioti Mechron over the Kubota...

My friend just bought a RTV 500 based on my recommendation. I think he'll like it since it will mainly be for work. The quality of the RTV's is second to none. Outstanding!!! We enjoyed driving the 500 and 900. The 400 was rough around the edges. The air cooled 1 cylinder really...

I'm down to two candidate machines. Of of them is the RTV500. There have been lots of posts saying they are underpowered, which has left me wondering how well they will climb a steep grade, assuming the servo and WOT adjustments are OK. I have been searching for a video showing one of them...

Hi, I'm new to the forum. This seems like the best place to get some UTV advice, so I signed up. Instead of posting one long comparison question, I thought it best to post specific queries for the machines I am considering, starting with the RTV500. My property is steep and heavily wooded...

First of all, I didn't have a near oil filter wrench to fit the 3 filters. The ones I have were just a tad to big. For the oil filter I had to punch a screw driver through it in order to get it off because it was so tight. Moved onto the hydraulic filters which took everything I had to remove...

Another happy Barlow purchase. This is the third item I have purchased from Brady and they all went smoothly :D I actually took delivery the middle of January but I wanted to clean it up before taking some pics for TBN. It got pretty dirty in transit from Kentucky to Connecticut. The weather...

Just bought a 2010 Kubota RTV500 from a dealer on line. I know it lacked dash gauges compared to some of the other models. However, it doesn't have a fuel gauge, I only assumed there was a fuel cap gauge. I have been searching the net to little avail and can not find if there is a Fuel Cap...

UTV Hitch Works 1295 US 22 & 3, Maineville, Ohio 45039 any buy dump rtv500?

Seems like I read that major changes were being planned for the RTV 500, including doing away with the Hydro Trans. Any confirmation, or more info. about that? Also, would that make servicing or buying parts for these units harder in the future? Todd

I am new to the forum but have been reading a lot of the posts here on this particular subject. I am looking to buy a new or used UTV within the next few months and I'm having a hard time deciding. I do not own a farm or ranch, just 2 acres with a house. I would be using the UTV MOSTLY for...

About to buy a Kabota rtv500 and wonder if anyone has advise re: the modular cab V4311? Is this really worth the money if I want a hard side cab rather than canvas? And what about the polycarbonate windshield? tx Stan

Does anyone know the bolt size and thread pitch for the wheel bolts on the RTV500. Seems like there are many metric variations re: thread pitch, bolt size, etc.

I'm taking my Kubota away from the home property for a week. I figured I better take a spare. My old, still running Big Bear 350 has the same 4-hole pattern wheel. Tire size is pretty close, too. Good enough to limp back to the cabin if need be. I am going to use one of the Big Bear wheels. But...

I borrowed this RTV from my boss and got it stuck, when we got it unstuck from the mud it was stuck in reverse...I can not bring it back to him stuck, please help!!!:confused:

I finally purchased my RTV500 and am very happy with it. I have, however, been somewhat disappointed in its performance on a muddy hill by my house. It seems to have more problems (in 4wd with the atv tires) on that hill than my 2wd ATV does. I was hoping to get some advice from other RTV500...

After much research here on TBN, I got me an RTV500. Thanks to advice from General Lee I went with the ATV tires since I plan to use it mostly in the woodlot. I installed a small tool box and a fire extinguisher under the hood and a 5" convex mirror on the front ROPS crossbar. Now I'm waiting...

I noticed today my Kubota does not sit level and leans to the left. I measured the front end from ground and their is a difference of 3/4 inch in the left front low. Is there an adjustment to level this machine that I can do? Just had the 50 hour service done.

I have been browsing the forums for a while, and finally decided to post here to get some feedback. I am in the market for a UTV. After looking at several options I have narrowed it down to two. I am trying to decide between the Kubota RTV500 and Cub Cadet Volunteer 4x4. The primary use will be...

Kubota V4337 Turn Signal/Hazard Light Kit (RTV500)? price ? are they hard to put on? can drive on the road in ohio?

I wanted to increase the ability to carry more firewood in the bed of my 500. At the corners of the bed, there are square channels covered with a plastic plug. I used 1 inch square steel tubing that fits perfect in these tubes. Bolted on 2x10's and added one across behind the back rest. Turned...

Ok, I finally got the mount kit last night around 6pm so naturally I stayed out in the garage till 11:30 installing them:). Of course I'm sick as a dog right when I finally get these on but hopefully this weekend I'll feel better and get it out for the action pics (going to drag our spear house...

So, here it is. I just finished and will take it out tomorrow and find somewhere to sink it in the white stuff to try it out. Looks like a really nice winch for the cost. It did require a couple mods but nothing that bad. 4500lbs Super winch terra 45 synthetic rope with KFI mount kit 1...

Little confused of the front set up where the front hitch is on the 500. Can a Winch bolt right up or do to that plate or do I need the appropriate mounting kit for it? If so where have you all found good deals for the winch and kit?

Well I went down to the closest dealer last week and bought a new RTV500, they delivered it today. Won't be able to use it much since it's pouring down rain, and the rest of the week is supposed to be pretty much the dame, rain, rain, and more rain! Not complaining, we need the rain and it...

Any ideas on where to mount them? Home made? Store bought?

Ok, those of us who have RTV500's I have a few questions. This is to show Kubota that Matt's advise did not cut into service visits. That's the only reason that I can figure that he's been silenced, since no one has heard from him in weeks. 1)-Who complained, repeatedly, to their dealers about...

Just came up to the camp and my dad and granddad were on the side of the road in my rtv500. They ran it out of gas and filled it up with offroad diesel fuel that was in a gas can. Any tips and pointers on draining the tank and flushing the system would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Matt, Tom & Stonehaller, Thanks for all of the suggestions on how to get the max intended performance out of this machine. I put the unloaded max RMPS at 4010, it was 3650. I had to buy a microprocesser contolled timing light that relieved me of a Ben Franklin to do this, but it was worth it...

My new rtv500 has 16 hours on it and has NOT been abused nor overloaded.The machine sags about 1" down on the drivers side with no load and drops more when I get on. My impression is the springs appear weak. my dealer has no explanation as yet and is looking into the problem. I am very impressed...

RTV owners...Stonehaller and I have had some discussions about this, and his help has been outstanding. My question is this: When you are going uphill with the gas pedal mashed, does your RTV downshift (like a regular auto tranny), or do you have to let up on the gas to cause the downshift? In...

I have posted bits and pieces of my thoughts on the RTV500 cable adjustments in various threads and though I would consolidate everything here. Some information has come from discussions with the dealer but most is just my figuring on the RTV500 transmission works. If you have doubts, talk to...

I am looking for a hydraulic bed lift kit for my rtv500. Does any one make a good one?

Has anyone tried to mount a gun rack in the cab of a Kubota RTV500? If so what kind was it?

Any of you guys that have an RTV500 have a clicking noise when you slow down from speed after it's well warmed up?...I have the normal whine, but it clicks pretty loud about 30-50 ft before coming to a stop. It's so loud that my wife heard it from 100 ft away. Before I call and complain, just...

Anybody else out there own RTV500's besides me and 737?... Give us some updates on the idle rattle, did you add any accessories or increase the power? Give us you opinions on this machine.

Now have available a heavy duty power dump kit for the Kubota RTV500. See the attached PDF for more information. I will have more pictures and info coming on it soon. Any questions email me at manager@dbequip.com or call 1-800-567-3168

Seems that me and 737pilot are the only ones posting about this machine...I think we both would like to hear other opinions, likes and dislikes, modifications etc...Anyone?

It was suggested I post this question on this board...Any ideas anyone? Has anyone heard of a way to increase the power of a 500?...Just took mine up to feed the deer. The feeder is at the top of a long grade, although not that steep. Running it in low range, it began to run out of RPM's even...

Has anyone heard of a way to increase the power of a 500?...Just took mine up to feed the deer. The feeder is at the top of a long grade, although not that steep. Running it in low range, it began to run out of RPM's even though I was letting off the pedal to downshift...Still, it started to...

I have a new RTV500 with about 4 hours on it and I have noticed a strong exhaust smell from it that seems to come up from between the front of the cargo box and the rear of the cab. I guess this is just the exhaust burning off some sort of coating but wondered if this was common to smell this...

I'm looking to get an RTV500, Orange with ATV Tires, and a Canopy. The Kubota list price is $8498.......is there any bargining on this price like there is when buying a tractor...say 10-15% off list price? Just curious if I can expect anything off list price? Stu

Thinking of getting a RTV500. Anyone have any insight? How do you folks that have them like them? Just need it for light duty and the wife's use. Also considering gator cx, mule 610 etc.

Stopped by my dealership today and he had two, one orange and one camo. All I had was the cameraphone...see attached. My impressions were fairly good. It looks VERY well put together and the tires are every bit as large as the RTV900 even though it is substantially smaller. The rear...

Anyone actually seen or driven one of these smaller gas powered RTVs? They look like they would be alot of fun! Dave
