Kubota's RTV
oneace,
Just ran into this forum.
Would you know how to adjust the RTV's tranny so it doesn't stop so abruptly?
I have the worksite and I'm very happy with it. Having a hard time getting accessories so I've made my own. (windshield, cargo box, lighting, overhead console...).

oneace.
Thanks for the info. Have you tried it yourself?
Can you tell me where this link is? I don't have the machine nearby right now to take a look.
Thanks

Archdean,
Congrats on your selection.
Front mud flaps?
For the "abrupt stop" issue, which did you prefer?
Most every RTV owner I've run into prefers the abrupt stop version. At least you can do some feathering with the pedal to control it. The "more gentle" version still seems to have an "abrupt point" but I found it very difficult to control it.
You'll find all kinds of add-ons. Most are probably best to get aftermarket (winch comes to mind). Check out hunterworks.com. He's making a lot of stuff for the RTV (some are done, others in progress).

I've had my RTV for about 16 months now and would definitely get another.
Like Archdean, I put a windshield, stereo... on it. For the cargo box, I made my own out of pressure treated wood. I use the RTV for firewood and didn't want to beat up the steel box throwing chunks in the box.
For steep terrain, you do need to let off the "gas pedal". Like Dean mentioned, this will kick in a secondary pump which provides more power (but reduces speed). When I first got the RTV, I was mashing the pedal to the floor and could barely climb hills in low range with only myself in the machine. I learned to let off the pedal and I can now climb in a higher range or still in low with several hundred pounds of wood in the box.
Tire selection is key for muddy conditions. The OEM HDWS tires DON'T LIKE MUD!!! I put Maxxis Bighorn's on it and I can go through most anything.

I'm here Dean. Not much new with the RTV. Just racking up the hours either working or playing.

OK Dean, here we go.
Some general/global changes I made:
Chrome rims with Maxxis BigHorn tires.
Completely replaced cargo box with new one that includes integrated storage.
Gun mount/boot
Ramsey winch
2" lift kit
Lexan windshield (quick attach or removal).
4 forward facing lights
1 light in cabin area
2 rearward (can pivot to side) general lights
Strobe light on the roof.
1 cargo box light
1 light under box for rear receiver area
3rd (middle) seatbelt
Ceiling panel inside cabin. On this is mounted:
Stereo/CD
2 marine speakers towards the front
2 Cerwin Vega box speakers mounted to the rear of the ROPS
320w amp (wedged between ceiling and roof panel)
1 12V accessory plug
2 panels of 5 switches each - marine switches to run all this "stuff"
Across the front of the ROPS, just below the ceiling, I made a 3/4" bar that goes across to hold accessories made for ATV's. On this, I've put a nascar style rear view mirror, 2 other wide angle mirrors, and RAM mount spotlight, pistol holder, GPS/Cell holder.
The battery has been replaced with a deep cycle marine battery. I'm working on a dual battery setup with an isolator for the aux. battery.
I think there's more on the machine but can't think of anything else right now.
I'm making a multi-mount system so I can have a winch in the rear of the machine. Also making a bar to mount across the front of the grill guard that can hold chainsaws and other tools.
I also have the glove box but don't care much for it. I'm considering a 12v cooler instead. (one of those kind that you can put on the seat of your car or wherever).
