Built on the extended chassis of Kubota’s 4-seater RTV-X1140 model, the RTV-X1130 is top of the range for utility vehicles, Kubota said.
It offers a 6-foot-long convertible cargo tray and inherits Kubota UTVs’ trusted features, such as the Kubota D1105 engine, dynamic braking, VHT smooth transmission, enclosed wet brakes, hydraulic tipping tray, and hydraulic power steering.
“The more space for cargo makes it one of the most versatile RTV’s on the market,” said Kubota Australia Marketing Manager, Mark Basile.
“Whether you’re in construction, working for a municipality, a farmer or just needing to transport loads of material from A to B, the RTV-X1130 is designed to outwork.”
The tray length on the RTV-X1130 has been extended for transporting longer items and the cargo load capacity has increased to 550kg.
The bed volume has also increased to 0.74 cubic-metres.
A prominent feature of the RTV-X1130 is the Pro-Konvert cargo bed which allows the tray to be converted quickly and easily. Both side panels and the tailgate are foldable to give better access to the items in the cargo bed while on the job.
These can also be completely removed to reconfigure the tray to a flatbed within minutes.
Kubota also uses a spray-on bed liner on the RTV-X1130 to prevent scratches to the tray.
“The new cargo bed also has integrated stake pockets which allow you to section off areas in the cargo bed using pocket dividers,” Basile said.
“If you’re looking for increased side panel height, the heavy-duty side gates feature integrated stake/divider pockets for further material handling.”
The standard Hydraulic Dump bed lets operators move heavy materials such as sand, gravel or turf from the cargo bed with ease.
“Materials that take significant physical strength and time to unload can be dumped with little effort in seconds,” Basile said.
“The independent suspension on all four wheels and Kubota’s variable hydraulic transmission provide exceptional performance through smooth throttle control, great traction and manoeuvrability, regardless of the terrain or load.”
The RTV-X multi-disk wet brakes provides long brake life, and the dynamic braking delivers additional braking power and greater driving control including when travelling down long declines, Kubota added.
“The Series also features a high-rigidity steel frame which isolates operators from noise, vibrations and harshness giving you the extra sense of security. With structural strength that few in the industry can match, this durable frame can endure years of heavy loads and rough terrain.”
Kubota is offering a range of new cargo box accessories to go with the RTV-X1130 such as a tailgate extender, storage boxes, cargo bed winch and LED light for inside the cargo tray.
The RTV-X1130 has a RRP of $35,161 including GST and delivery of the model will commence from March 2024.
