Cost of the RTV 500

[kubes14060]

I've searched the forums for a bit tonight and can't quite find any information on recent pricing of the RTV 500 from Kubota?? Anyone have an idea what someone can expect to pay? Is this a good time of year or bad time of year to get one??

Expect to pay in the $10K range...depending on equipment. Kubota currently has a zero down/zero interest for 60 month incentive.....not a bad time to buy. Good luck......

Should be able to get a base orange 500 for around $8k, the camo model was more expensive.



Depending on your uses the 500 might not be exactly what you want....if you plan to play at all or navigate through much mud or rocks there are a lot better choices out there. The RTV 500 does drive well and it's a handy size but the suspension and power are not very good.

I have an RTV500. I recommend Turf Tires over the smaller standard tires. Turf Tires add lateral stability on slopes.

I have never been "stuck" in my RTV500 and I pull a MUTS trailer most of the time. The RTV500 is a workhorse descended from a tractor.

The HST transmission is RTV500's best feature.

There are five shock adjustment slots. Shocks arrive set in middle Position #3. The softest position provides a far more comfortable ride. Ask the dealer to re-set the shocks. Adjustment can be moved in five minutes on both sides WHEN YOU KNOW HOW IT IS DONE.

Also, the hole where a drawbar is inserted and pinned in is short. Ask the dealer to cut your drawbar to appropriate length if you intend to tow.

I also like the tough, factory roof. I work in the woods and have twice had 40 pound debris fall out of trees and hit the roof.

I paid $10,000 in February 2010, with Turf Tires and roof, including sales tax.

Tractors sell seasonably. Because many Utility Vehicles are sold to hunters I think sales are relatively steady throughout the year.

If you've never been stuck than you've never gone in much mud or in a cut area with sticks/stumps left behind....or snow over 12" high.

That would make a huge difference....the year I bought my RTV 500 was a dry year.....I didn't get stuck at all.....then we had a wet spring and it was torture.....my winch was being used as much as my gas pedal. :laughing:
