Kubota RTV-1100C

JESSE1 · Sep 16, 2014

I've had John Deere Gators for many years but I recently looked at the Kubota RTV-1100C utility vehicles. Utility Vehicles - RTVX1100 | Kubota Tractor Corporation Very nice and appear to be well-built. Since I retired I've been using my Gator for some heavy work and I think the Kubota may be better suited for what I'm doing. I'm very impressed with the cab, plenty of room and the air conditioning would be great in upper 90 degree weather. Has anyone bought one or driven one? Problems or complaints?

there are thousands of them out there. They are great machines. Biggest complaints are usually hard shifting between ranges.

I just received my RTVX 1100C yesterday. I really like it. I have a 2008 RTV 1100 that has been a terrific machine. I use it everyday and it has never let me down. The AC is why I purchased my original machine because of the heat and humidity in the south. I think you will like the 1100C if you decide to purchase. I still have a JD Gator 6X4 diesel that just keeps going and going. Never understood why JD did not make a cab machine like Kubota but would not swithch. All my other equipment is green.

Looks like I've made the deal for an orange w/alloy wheels/atv tire RTVX-1100C. Probably get it Tuesday, shop is busy but all they need to do to it is install the radio and check it out. I'm real impressed with the attention to detail on this machine. I hate to get away from JD but the Kubota will be a better machine for what I do. With the Independent rear suspension it rides as good as my 855D and has the same ground clearance.

Congratulations on your new machine! I have been comparing my old 1100 to the new one and like what Kubota has done. I especially like the roll up windows! As I said before, my 2008 1100 never let me down and I expect it will be running for a very long time. I change the fluids and filters as required and keep the engine and transmission clean using compressed air at least once a week. So much easier to work on equipment when dirt and trash are not falling in your face each time you move underneath! Enjoy your new ride!

Picked up my RTV-X 1100C today. I think I'm really going to like it. It's a nice feeling to drive around checking the cows in 90 deg weather with the a/c cooling the cab very well. Actually rode better than my Gator 855D, probably because it weighs more.

Thanks for posting... this is on my brother's wish list for the ranch... so far the expense has made it a no go...

Don't see any around here except the occasional Gator...

Some of the ranches still use old Jeep Cj's... no air of course.

Man I really need to get one of the newer models they are so nice. How much was it guessing around 21,000

With the alloy wheels and radio it was $19,100. I hope to have it a long, long time. I don't consider this just to be a UTV, it's built more like a tractor. I've made good use of the A/C lately.

Have had my Kubota RTV-X1100C cab now about 6 weeks. Options include Camo, alloy wheels, work site tires, radio -- cost very similar to Jesse1. Like it more now after 37 hrs on the meter. It took a little while to get used to the HST transmission when going up steep hills here in central PA. The cab A/C and heat is great and a big factor in the purchase over other UTV's.
