    Great video! You will really appreciate the hydrostatic trans when full loaded or pulling a heavy trailer downhill. The belt driven units freewheel, forcing you to hit the brakes! Much safer with the VHT trans. I use mine to pull a small manure spreader, when fully loaded it can approach 2000 lbs. I use it instead of a tractor to have minimal impact on the field. I also had a custom rack made so I can haul more firewood. Take care.

    Fantastic video! My wife and I are looking at this one and a Kawasaki four seater diesel as well, but everything else we have is Kubota other than a 2002 Kawasaki 650 four wheeler I have. I think after watching your video, I am leaning toward the Kubota simply because everything they build seems to be built like tanks and I have a 2003 diesel lawn tractor that is still going strong and the guys at the Kubota place told me to never get rid of it and if I ever wanted to sell it, to let them know. Thanks for your well done and informative video.

    Nice video. Enjoyed the tour of your property. Great explanation of converting seats. What made you decide to purchase Kubota vs Honda pioneer?

    Great review! Probably one of the most thorough I have watched and I have watched every Kubota RTV video on KZread at this point. So at the end of the day, now that you have had a little time with it, would you buy the X1140 again or would you look for something different? Any deal breakers from your perspective? Please do followup videos if you find great uses/capabilities. The X1140 is at the very top of my list and I am still looking for a new unit. I don't need fast, I need durability and longevity. I intend to get the hitch extender and HST Gard from UTV Hitchworks to both provide protection to the HST and bring the receiver out to a more normal position. I also have chains on all my trailers and being able to hook them would be preferable to them eventually dragging or having to strap them up. GREAT JOB!

    Great video! I just bought an RTV X 1140 as well and love it. My only concern is that it blow a bit of whittish smoke on every start up. Just Curios if yours does the same? Only have 11 hours on it and it's 60 to 70 degrees down over here in Texas, not much cold weather. Thanks for any input.

    I've seen so many reviews on all these utes from various manufacturers. I think you ought to do an honest comparison to say a mid-nineties Ford Ranger 4x4 pickup, probably about the same physical size. I think the Ranger would win. Don't see any advantages in a ute, sorry. 16hrs? 🤔
