Kubota RTV1100
The Kubota RTV1100 Worksite utility vehicle is a powerful and useful machine to have at your disposal. If you are looking for slightly smaller UTVs from Kuboto, then check out the Kubota RTV 900 Utility Vehicle or the Kubota RTV 500 Utility Vehicle. The RTV 1100 has been specifically designed for use on work sites, hence the name! It comes with an engine developed and manufactured in house by Kubota. It’s the D1105-E3-UV 4 stroke, diesel and it has a power output of 24.8 hp. The 3 cylinder engine has displacement of 1.1 liters. This engine is powered with diesel from a fuel tank that has a max capacity of 30 liters (7.9 US gallons). The engine sits on a choice of chassis, either a 2WD or 4WD chassis. Power from the engine is transferred to the wheels via a variable hydrostatic transmission that has 3 ranges of gears, low, medium and high.
The fastest that the Kubota RTV 1100 can travel at is 25 mph when it’s in high gear. Thankfully the RTV1100 utility vehicle uses power steering, as traveling over rough ground at these speeds without it could be very dangerous. Both the front and back wheels use a Mac-Pherson strut type independent suspension to make sure that you enjoy a comfortable journey no matter where you are using this ATV. The weight of the RTV 1100 comes in at 1120 kg (2469 lbs). The most that it can safely pull is 590 kg (1300 lbs) while the largest safe payload that it can carry onboard is 740 kg (1631 lbs).
The Kubota RTV1100 is fairly long at 3.26 m (128.4 inches) thanks to it’s large cargo bed. It measures 1.69 m (66.5 inches) wide and has a height of 2.1 m (83 inches) to the top of it’s roll cage (ROPS). The Kubota RTV 1100 comes with a Kubota ‘Premium Grand Cab’ that has doors so it can be operated even when the weather outside is miserable. The Kubota RTV 900 Utility Vehicle is the younger brother of this model and it’s advisable you check it out if you are interested in a similar but less ‘decked out’ ATV/utility vehicle.

My overall initial impression of the RTV 1100 is very positive. It is extremely easy to drive with great disability, the air conditioning and heating in the cab are a huge bonus and the diesel engine runs flawlessly. I ended up getting the camo color because the orange was not available, that was a disappointment. However, I’m growing used to it. I have seat covers on and a few other additions that I have listed above to make the unit personalized to my choice. The seating position is uncomfortable for tall people as you sit very straight up and down with very little legroom to stretch your legs . The hydraulic bed is a huge bonus, and is large enough for anything that I need to throw into it that I don’t want to take my compact tractor out and carry around with the bucket one small drawback is there is so much glass in the cab it becomes a greenhouse in the hot sun , anybody who drives one of these in a hot climate should consider getting the windows tinted dark the 25 mile an hour top speed is a little disappointing however, my purpose in purchasing this unit was to not blast around like other side by sides at 45 and 50 miles an hour or more I realize that this is a worksite vehicle and I plan on using it that way if you were considering the purchase of one of these allow me to mention the fact that Kabota accessories are very expensive and most can be replaced in the aftermarket at a fraction of the cost . The radio that I installed was purchased from Amazon at $65 and the Kabota radio that the dealer offered was approximately $400. The LED spreader lights that I put on were $28 a pair and the ones that Kabota offered were $365 a pair , the seat covers that I also got off of Amazon were $48 and similar seat covers from Kabota were $250. The bed mat that I purchased from tractor supply for $65 was $300 from Kubota aside from these drawbacks I am extremely happy with my purchase, and I plan on using this for many years to come , not to mention that it is a sharp looking vehicle and I enjoy driving it around
I bought this Kubota RTV X1100C because of the name and the fact that it was a diesel. I’ve had it 3 years now and have mixed emotions about it. They are slow, buy yourself a SMV sign for the rear. They are also not overpowered. They get even slower going up hills on hot days as the engine loses power due to the hot air. Pulling items on hot days also becomes a real issue as the hydrostatic transmission oil gets hotter (thinner) and they really lose pulling power. Also on very hot days the A/C becomes an issue. The already overtaxed engine rpm varies noticeably as the A/C pump kicks in and out. The cab may also become to warm, due to inadequate cooling, making running with the windows down more desirable. All in all it is not a bad machine, but neither is it a great one. Kubota doesn’t have a “hot line” to call, so dealing with the dealer is your only recourse. Know who you are buying it from well, because you’ll get no action out of Kubota unless the dealer stands up for you. Years ago when they brought out these machines they were top of the line. Now I believe there may be far better machines on the market. Do plenty of research before you spend your money.
Live at 6,700 feet. Solid workhorse @ plowing snow, very seldom slips a wheel, most of time pushes full blade of snow w less than 1// throttle. ( 72″ plow)
Can’t wit til chance to ride thru Rockies on Rampart Range. Two wide for small trails….OK by me!!
I went from a gas powered 2009 Polaris 800 side by side with a hydraulic boss plow to this Kubota RTV X1100C and have no regrets. Although my top speed was almost cut in half the fact that I have power steering, real front window defroster, side windows that roll down, more torque, a sealed factory cab, AC, and more towing capacity far outweighs the speed differential. Diesel wins over gas every day for a work vehicle and this RTV is up for any challenge.
Glad I chose Cavalier Equipment and the RTV1100
This RTV will go up and down creek banks, thru mud holes fully loaded up to the top of the cab in 2wd. Have not seen any instability even loaded on hills.
One trip to the local John Deere dealer sealed my decision as the sales rep did not come close to the personal service nor delivery of product as Luther and Darryl Sims at Cavalier!!!!!!
