  Kubota RTV 900-sticks in reverse

Ours just started this nonsense. We have 150hrs on the machine.

From the first day we got it, this machine would grind gears loudly when trying to shift into High range... even while the machine was sitting perfectly still, service brake applied and of course, moving from the neutral position. This should be no problem for a hydrostatic transmission where the machine stays in one gear any time the vehicle is in motion.

I was leary of any $10,000 machine that protests to being put into gear when at a stand-still. Now, its stuck in Reverse. We've tried several attempts at getting it out, and we've had no success as yet.

I'll try to remember to let you know how it works out.

  Kubota RTV 900-sticks in reverse

This is a follow-up on my previous message. Our problem was that the gear shifter was stuck so fast in reverse that the operator bent a part of the control linkage trying to get it out. I'm not sure if he tried to shut the engine off or apply the parking brake. The operator did seem nervous when he reported the situation. I doubt he'll try to "force" the shifter into or out of gear again.

Since the linkage was bent, we had to take the cover off the top of the transmission where the shifting linkage enters the transmission. We found where one of the forks had been bent, straightened it and put the machine back together. It works as good as it did before. It does not work freely or without protest.

My concern still hovers over this situation... that a machine that costs ten grand could have a problem switching gears at a standstill is, I think, something that Kubota should fix. Its an RTV, thus it should be expected to be used on inclines quite often. Why build a machine that doesn't want to switch gears when its placed in an environment for which it was intended?

It is a good machine. We use it consistently. It gives no other problems and is worth owning. But for what we paid, i think Kubota has further to go in fixing this issue.
