I absolutely love mine. I bought the same one but mine was the limited edition. I bought mine last year and took it to Canada for a bear hunt. It performed flawlessly. I have the #246 Kubota RTV900 ever built that I bought in 2003. Nothing Runs Like A Kubota!
Yes, test everything LoL Kioti is also making a line of 24hp utility machines. Not sure if its diesel or gas but it don't matter. Line up the Deere, Kioti, Kubota and Kawasaki Mule and have a contractor shoot out. Haul bags of cement, people and tools over a make believe job area or get the people you know with the dairy farm to help you out with that. Then load up to the duck blind or deer stand to see how comfortable and quiet the machines are to the hunting spot. Which one tippy toes with the quietest exhaust and no squeaks or rattles. Just a note, I see the mesh intake and pipe leading to what looks like the clutches from cabin floor height. My buddies John Deere 850 sucked water in the engine crossing a stream, His feet never got wet but the valves got bent. Careful in the water crossings. Cheers.
As a Kubota salesman I hope Kubota see's this and gets some takeaways from it which they not only listen to but more importantly implement in the very near future! Hate to say they generally drag their feet entirely to long! #kubota
Your review is honest and good. And you touch on whats better than any of the big sxs brands, which is great. BUT.... I dont understand why anyone buys these tractor brands. Yes they are more utility, but honestly, the last few years, this has less weight capacities and fun limiting features/design. You can get anither brand that does all the fun and 500lbs more hauling on the box and towing. My father in law has an older deere sxs, it goes 35 downhill with a taileind, and that still takes longer than it should to hit that speed lol
Interesting configuration in the box design, I am guessing the low-speed design is for safety since this will be used by employers on worksites, rather than the individual consumer, lots of workers do not have the experience or time behind the wheel to drive it more spiritly, I would love to see a Shoot out with the RTV Vs Argo's new 1000!
I think it's a good-looking utv... except the cab/roll cage... I get your justification for it, but it looks ridiculous... it's the visual equivalent to nails on a chalkboard.. color is good, too..
This is an expensive offering from Kubota for something that seems very dated, it looks cheap and you will wish you had something else if the tail is at all on your radar. Maybe for a dedicated farm for some light duty chores (TRACTOR WOULD BE BETTER), been behind these on the trails and they looked out of place.

If you want a true working machine Kubota can't be beat and the Diesel even more so! Thanks for covering Kubota too👍
Had one where I worked
THERE JUNK
finally!! I've been waiting for you to get your hands on one of these!
Thanks for a honest review of it! It is definitely a different machine than the other brands. It looks to be built tough .
I have this in a 22 model, so far so good 👍🏻

We have a Kioti diesel the gen 1 version, been solid for 10 years and it gets used every day. One bad cv joint is all.
Enjoyed your review. Thank you

Kubota and Polaris are the only side by sides I’d see used at construction sites and national parks. Pretty interesting

Awesome video
Thanks!
Great video! It would be great to see you compare the Kubota RTV-X1140 vs the Kawasaki Mule Trans 4x4. Workhorse shootout.
Nice!
How much is that rancher package? Thanks for good review.
Many brands in this field, Kawasaki Mule, Kioti, Cub cadet, Bobcat, John deere ect...just stop by any of your local tractor dealer
Is it really built by kubota or it's a rebranded machine?
Can't confirm at this moment but I am pretty sure this is a Kubota.
It is fully designed and built by Kubota
I think it's a good-looking utv... except the cab/roll cage... I get your justification for it, but it looks ridiculous... it's the visual equivalent to nails on a chalkboard.. color is good, too..
It looks like it was built from a bunch of left over mismatched parts. None of the lines work together lol. 😂
