rtv 900 dump hydraulics

banditbooker · May 15, 2012

My dad had just recently bought an rtv 900 and it has a manual dump on it. I think its around an 04' model. I was wondering if someone could tell me if they have ever added a power dump to there manual dump or if someone that already has a power dump explain where it taps into the machine hydraulics and some pictures would be really great. Thanks in advance!

This link should help: RTV900 Hydraulic Dump Bed Kit. I expect the hydraulic kits are pricey. This lift assist kit may be an alternative: Kubota RTV900 - Lift Assist Kit - Depco, Inc.

When I priced a new 900 they told me the worksite edition gave you a hydraulic dump box and a front brush guard for 1100.00 and if you just wanted to order the kit for the dump box afterwards it was 1400.00

Have you considered something like this? A LINEAR ACTUATOR.

Surplus Center - 11.34" STROKE 1000 LBS 12 VDC LINEAR ACTUATOR

I have had over 1000 pounds in the bed of the RTV, think you may need something stronger than that.

I have an electric dump on mine and yes it won't handle much over 800#. I solved the problem with a nice lowes durabuilt toolbox across the front of the bed and now i really can't get more in the bed than the electric (or i) can lift. @ less than 400 so time ago i think it well worth the money. Could not justify 1200 for the hydraulic.
