Kubota rtvx1130

Hi folks

Excited to be signed up for our first UTV. Money down on a shiny new Kubota RTVX 1130.

We are pioneering rocky escarpment country here in North Australia. Been here 14 years -still building the homestead

I have been running a Mahindra 5035 tractor these last years and it’s proven indispensable for living here. Grading, slashing, earth moving, loading digging, spraying. And it has never missed a beat. Faultless performance.

The 1130 will be our first UTV, replacing an old one tonne 4WD Toyota pickup which we have operated for 28 years.

The pickup runs great and is road legal but it showing its age after a hard working life and maintenance costs are increasing. We will sell it on.

We hope the Kubota will be even better on steep rocky slopes, deep creek crossings and muddy sections.

But we will require it to do all these things at max payload (750kg). Does anybody know if performance will be impaired?

Anybody have experience of putting an RTVX through seriously tough country at full payload? What’s it like?

Cheers

Alan

You will be disappointed. It is only 25 horse, it is smaller lighter and gets around easier. Better for small jobs spot spraying, fence repair, general maintain and repairs, herding, and taking places I don't want something heavier leaving tracks etc. But it is not a truck and certainly not a 1 ton truck. I use mine every day on my farm for jobs that don't require a tractor or a truck. P.S. order it with ag. tires.

Hi John

Hope I won’t be disappointed. I haven’t operated the RTVX under full load yet , but I was fascinated to watch a You Tube video of an RTVX towing a sixteen tonne dozer on tracks…

I guess 25hp with the right transmission and gearing can go a long way!
