Hmmm, wonder why they didn't have the Kubota RTV in the review?

Diesel XUV came in 1st. They said the gator was the most improved since the rodeo 2 years ago. I agree.
Totally different vehicle with much better capabilities.. If it had power steering and the front wheel well didn't protrude into the driving compartment I would be happy.
Granted the steering is much improved over the hpx series~!

Did I skip something, or read it to fast, Didn't see anything on the Kubota RTV's anywhere. Will go back & read again >>>>>>> Must have over-looked it somewhere, or they over-looked test-firing the Kubota ***********

I believe the manufacturer's submitted the vehicles for the test.
Kubota may have not wanted to play.

They kind of had a submission with the Toolcat. It has a Kubota diesel engine..

240 lbs. in the bed is supposed to be "loaded"? That hardly seems like a test to me. I've had over a ton in my RTV1100, which it handled easily.

The Diesel Gator came in 1st!

And I traded my diesel Gator for an RTV 1100.

What was I Thinking!!

Dbl. Orange,

I can only guess exactly what you were thinking, " I'M TRADING MY GATOR IN ON THE BEST UTILITY VEHICLE ON PLANET EARTH, THE KUBOTA RTV 1100, AND THEN I'M FIXIN' TO BUY ME A BIG MONSTER GRAND SERIES TRACTOR FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURE " *********

Am I close ?

Matching colors???
You went from 4 wheel drive to 3 wheel drive.

Much more comfortable tho.

I was ready to trade also until I drove the rtv1100 and it didn't perform any better than my 05 hpx.
Looks nice and drives like a car. Lmited slip frontend is a major problem.

For farm or commercial use this is an excellent machine.

It is not a good trail vehicle IMHO~!

I tried out an rtv 1100 today, it is a pretty nice machine, nice cab, but they wanted 5 thousand more than I paid for my xuv with the glass cab and heater. I tried to drive up a shallow backslope and it spun out before it got the front wheels up the slope. I think it is too much money for this utv. The xuv rides much better also.
