    2018 rtv-xg850 major issues

    I agree: I don't see how there isn't some sort of class action due to the throttle issue. I don't see how - at least several - people were not injured by it's out of control jerkiness. Especially in reverse.

    2018 rtv-xg850 major issues

    When my warranty is almost over, I'm going to get rid of my XG850 and replace it with... something, I don't know what yet, but it won't be a Kubota. Whoever designed the throttle for the XG should be fired, hung, shot then burned alive. :mad:

    What kind of fuel cans / fueling systems are folks using?

    I built a fuel trailer with a nominal 105 gallon diesel tank (nominal!) and a 50 gallon gas tank on a TSC trailer: Biggest mistake: Installing a 125 vac Filrite pump on the diesel tank instead of a 12 vdc pump.

    Kubota RTV-XG850 throttle issue

    That's not a fix for the poorly designed throttle jerkiness. It does let you rest your foot better. The barn hinge mod does the same thing essentially. We're looking for a solution to the throttle jerkiness and lack of slow speed control.

    Kubota L Series Tractor Winter Maintenance and Performance Suggestions

    1. Swith to a 5w-30 or 5w-40 diesel rated oil. Make sure to use Kubota's SUDT2 hydraulic oil. 2. Add a small battery minder/charger to your batery. For Montan winters, I'd switch the glow plugs on twice before starting. 3. Remove and replace your antifreeze and replace with a diesel AF rated...

    Lowry Manufacturing Co (LMC) makes a HD box blade every bit as HD as the EA equivalent. Don't know about prices, I got mine used at an auction.

    Any loss of power with the 28" tires? I planned to install 27" Tusk Terrabytes and I just installed that same DemonSports lift kit. I now might go with the 28".

    Hook/spanner wrench for XG850 shock adjustment?

    Anyone know the actual size of the wrench? The nut appears to be about 4" in diameter +/-. I found a hook wrench on the Messicks site (07015-00038), but it's been discontinued.

    2018 XG850 what spark plugs

    I tried that with all the major brands for my 2022; none of them had anything*. I used Messiks to get the Kubota part numbers. *ETA: Amazon showed plugs, but I didn't trust them, so do not include them.

    Are the diesel rtvs really that slow?

    I despise my -850 for this. There is simply no excuse for it. Shi! design by Kubota.

    Beware Scammers!

    I had someone PM for my e-mail address so he "could ask more questions" for something I had in the OTT Classifieds. 1st question: What is the price? Price was listed in the ad. o_O 2nd question: "I want it, will you take Zelle (wtf-ever that is) to "secure" it?" Answer: "FTF and cash...
