Kubota RTV-X1130 Heavy-Duty Utility Vehicle

The Kubota RTV-X LONG BED boasts a powerful 24.8HP liquid-cooled diesel engine for long and strenuous tasks. The 3-cylinder engine is quiet, powerful and a renowned bulletproof marvel at the true heart of the RTV-X Series.

Kubota has more experience in variable hydraulic transmissions than any other Utility Vehicle manufacturer. Kubota’s advanced VHT-X HD (High Durability) transmission offers a wide torque band and large oil coolers that boost performance and durability, and helps the RTV-X Long Bed tow up to 1,000 kg.

You’ll shift less often and maintain better control, thanks to transmission gearing with just two forward speeds (high and low), plus neutral and reverse.

The RTV-X Long Bed uses multi-disc wet brakes, which provide longer brake life.

A ROPS frame and seat belts are standard on the RTV-X Long Bed for added peace of mind. You’ll also feel more secure, especially when travelling down long inclines, knowing that dynamic braking is providing additional braking power and greater driving control.

The meter panel alerts all major vehicle functions, featuring seatbelt and parking brake alarms, as well as overheating and intermediate gear control indicators. The modern LCD display provides excellent visibility at all times.

The experience begins the moment you step into the driver’s compartment and settle into the seat. The RTV-X Long Bed was designed for driving comfort and convenience under tough working conditions. More room for your legs, controls that fall naturally under your hands, plenty of utility storage space… from head to toe and side to side, it’s an advanced level of easy, practical drivability that must be experienced to appreciate.

Seats are ergonomically designed to provide hours of working comfort, with appropriate space for both driver and passenger. Now that’s smart. Large compartments under the seats are ideal for storing tools, tie-downs and personal items.

It’s not enough to get you there and back. You need to get your stuff there and back as well. This heavy-duty 6ft steel cargo bed can do that for you, carrying more than a half-ton (550 kg) of tools, firewood, gear, supplies... whatever you need to haul from here to there and back again.

Dump sand, gravel, turf, or just about anything you can think of, from the RTV-X Long Bed’s whopping 0.74 m³ cargo bed. Cargo that could take significant physical strength and time to unload can now be dumped with little effort in mere seconds.

Responsive hydrostatic power steering gives you the control you need to tame any terrain. The steering wheel is tilt-adjustable, allowing you to set the optimum angle for your driving style. Regardless of the terrain or load, independent suspension on all four wheels ensures a truly exceptional ride. Kubota’s Extra Duty IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) technology also sets a new standard for durability. True 4-wheel drive with a limited-slip front differential and a locking rear differential helps keep wheel-spin to a minimum, giving you greater control and a smoother ride on rough or muddy terrain.

Obstacles on the path? CV joint guards and heavy-duty skid plates protect the most critical parts of the engine and transmission. The RTV-X Long Bed raises the bar on ground clearance, with 285 mm at the front, 240 mm at the rear and 205 mm of suspension travel, letting you glide over the bumps rather than through them.

Whether you’ve got a heavy load or no load at all, adjustable spring preload on the front suspension ensures the proper vehicle height for a smooth ride and optimum drivability.

A wide range of accessories are available to tailor your RTV-X Long Bed series to any requirement.
