Kubota s RTV
For those of you with one that might like a little more pazzaz to the machine try ordering a V4241 hand throttle kit which sells for $62.00. After the installation just pull it up to about 1/3 to 1/2 throttle and it put's you in the torque band for better pulling. This might help for feelings of lack of power.

Art.... I read where you have a dyno at the shop.
Have you ever put an RTV on the dyno?

That would most likely be a PTO dyno not a chassis dyno.

Oh well.
It would be real interesting to know how much HP actually gets to the wheels......

It is a pto dyno, not a chassis dyno. E-mail me for more info, to raise the base rpm to 1/3 to 1/2 will bring the hydro to a stronger point of pull vs the idle to start from.

Art, I sold the RTV last year. It went to live on a nice flat piece of farmland. Just where it belonged.
I got a serious 4 wheeler in it's place.

From the good old days when working with options if I'm not mistaken most veichles loose about 25% between the engine gross and the wheels at net. To be able to set the throttle up to higher rpm to start makes them a lot more aggressive. Your altitude causes horsepower loss no matter what type of engine! Your lungs must be strong to! The options with the new RTV with the full deluxe cab does come with a larger engine but much of that would be used up by the air conditioning. The basic transmission is built from the 2910 so it means a larger engine could be installed with little trouble(I think) compared to some swaps. I think Kubota will stay low on the horsepower to keep its uses as a work machine more then a play toy. I know we've seen the damage from some mysterious things that nobody seems to know about(mom & dad away) but we haven't been able to get one in to play with. I'd like to swap the engine out for a larger one if given the oppurtunity to.

Hi Art,
Have you had a chance to see a RTV1100. Any impressions you could share with us?
Len.

The biggest improvement from my stand point is the circulation of air for winter heat is going to make it one comfortable ride! The air will make it nice although the cloth seat, nice touch but not towards industrial duty. The added horsepower from the larger engine will be used up with the additional weight and options. They have taken the work pick-up truck to SUV with a box for the new model.
