Kubota Numeric RTV-X Series and Models

Kubota Numeric RTV-X Models: RTV-X900, RTV-X1120, RTV-X1100C and RTV-X1140 Guide

Earlier Kubota RTV-X models include the RTV-X900, RTV-X1120D, RTV-X1120, RTV-X1100C and RTV-X1140. These diesel utility vehicles introduced or developed the X-series combination of hydrostatic drive, independent suspension, work-focused cargo capacity and improved operator accommodation. The later numeric RTV-X1130 added an extended cargo platform and is included here as a related model.kubotausa+3

The names are similar, but their roles differ. The RTV-X900 provided the lower-powered general work platform, the RTV-X1120 family offered more power and equipment choices, the RTV-X1100C incorporated a factory climate-controlled cab, and the RTV-X1140 converted between passenger and cargo configurations.kubotausa

This guide brings together the verified North American model names, significant catalogue variants, historical specifications, maintenance considerations and troubleshooting routes. It also explains how these numeric designations relate to the newer RTV-X, RTV-X CAB, RTV-X CREW and RTV-X LONG BED names.

Which Earlier Numeric Kubota RTV-X Models Are Included?

The principal models covered are:

• Kubota RTV-X900.

• Kubota RTV-X1120D.

• Kubota RTV-X1120.

• Kubota RTV-X1100C.

• Kubota RTV-X1140.

• Kubota RTV-X1130, included as a later numeric extended-bed model.

Kubota’s original X-series launch coverage identifies the RTV-X900, RTV-X1120D and RTV-X1100C. Its archived brochure adds the RTV-X1140 and documents RTV-X1120 configurations, while later North American information confirms the RTV-X1130.kubotausa+2

Earlier Does Not Automatically Mean Discontinued

An older model name can remain in manufacturer documentation, parts catalogues, dealer inventory or a country-specific product directory after the range has changed.

This article therefore uses “earlier numeric models” rather than declaring every vehicle discontinued. For example, Kubota Canada retains an RTV-X1130 listing alongside RTV-X LONG BED information.kubota

Coverage was checked in October 2026. Exact production start and end dates are not assigned unless supported by the available evidence.

What About the RTV-X1110?

The RTV-X1110 is documented in European product coverage and appears as a reference in a Kubota USA vehicle catalogue. However, the evidence reviewed does not establish normal USA or Canada retail availability clearly enough to present it as a confirmed North American model in the main table.kubotausa+1

It is therefore treated as a market-identification issue, not silently added to the USA/Canada lineup. An imported RTV-X1110 requires its own documentation and parts-compatibility checks.

Earlier Kubota RTV-X Model Directory

Kubota RTV-X1100C maintenance and troubleshooting guide |

| RTV-X1140 | Convertible passenger/cargo numeric model | D1105, 1,123 cc, three-cylinder diesel; 24.8 HP in archived USA brochure | VHT-X | Two- or four-person configuration with changing cargo-bed dimensions | Kubota RTV-X1140 maintenance and troubleshooting guide |
| RTV-X1130 | Later numeric extended-bed model | Three-cylinder diesel; 23.3 HP in Canadian listing | VHT-X | Two-person open station with ProKonvert cargo box | Kubota RTV-X1130 maintenance and troubleshooting guide |

The historical engine figures for the original models come from Kubota’s archived USA brochure. RTV-X1120 launch information and the Canadian RTV-X1130 listing provide the separate specifications for those names. These are not universal figures for every production revision.kubotausa+2

How the RTV-X Generation Changed Kubota Utility Vehicles

The X-series was more than a change in decals.

Kubota’s archived brochure describes independent suspension at all four wheels, VHT-X transmission, a revised frame, greater operator space and improved access to the radiator and air intake. It also documents hydrostatic power steering, wet-disc brakes and protective components around the driveline.kubotausa

The transmission uses high and low forward ranges, neutral and reverse. The brochure describes an advanced variable-displacement hydrostatic motor and a large oil cooler as part of the VHT-X design.kubotausa

These features distinguish the numeric RTV-X vehicles from earlier RTV900, RTV900XT, RTV1100 and RTV1140CPX models. Similar numbers do not establish that chassis components, controls, servicing procedures or accessories are interchangeable.

Kubota RTV-X900: General-Purpose Diesel Work Vehicle

The RTV-X900 was part of the initial X-series lineup announced in October 2013, with dealer availability described for the following month.totallandscapecare

Kubota’s archived USA brochure identifies a D902 three-cylinder diesel engine producing 21.6 HP at 3,200 rpm. It pairs that engine with VHT-X and lists a maximum travel speed of 25 mph.kubotausa

RTV-X900 General Purpose vs Worksite

The archived brochure separates General Purpose and Worksite configurations.

The differences are meaningful to ownership. General Purpose equipment lacks some convenience features shown on other configurations, including tilt steering and a driver’s seat adjuster. The brochure also identifies manual cargo dumping on the General Purpose version.kubotausa

Do not assume that an RTV-X900 advertised with a steel cargo box automatically has hydraulic bed lift.

RTV-X900 Cargo and Work Capability

The brochure lists a 15.2-cu.-ft. cargo box, a 1,102-lb. cargo-bed load and 1,300-lb. towing capacity within the documented range. Actual loading must follow the correct vehicle instructions and configuration.kubotausa

These figures describe different measurements:

• Cargo volume describes the space inside the box.

• Cargo-bed load describes the permitted weight in the box.

• Towing capacity describes a separate trailer-related limit.

• Total payload is another vehicle rating and must not be confused with bed load.

RTV-X900 Catalogue Variants

Kubota’s reviewed parts catalogue lists:

• RTV-X900G.

• RTV-X900R.

• RTV-X900W.shop.kubotausa

These are separate catalogue applications within the RTV-X900 family. Do not decode every suffix from the name alone or assume it represents a completely different engine.

Use Kubota RTV-X900 Model Identification Guide before ordering parts, followed by Kubota RTV-X900 Maintenance Schedule and Kubota RTV-X900 Transmission Troubleshooting.

Kubota RTV-X1120D: Higher-Powered Original X-Series Model

The RTV-X1120D was the higher-powered open-station model in the original X-series launch.

Kubota’s brochure lists a D1105 three-cylinder diesel engine producing 24.8 HP, VHT-X transmission and a maximum speed of 29 mph. It also highlights half doors, three-point seat belts and alloy wheels as distinguishing equipment.kubotausa

How It Differs From the RTV-X900

The RTV-X1120D is not simply an RTV-X900 carrying another number.

The archived specifications show a larger engine and higher published output. The brochure also describes different lighting and equipment details.kubotausa

When comparing used vehicles, establish what is actually fitted. Wheels, doors and guards can be changed during ownership, so appearance should not replace identification-plate information.

RTV-X1120D Catalogue Designations

Kubota’s parts catalogue documents the following applications:

The catalogue establishes that these designations exist. It does not, by itself, provide a reliable universal decoding key for every letter and number.shop.kubotausa

Relevant supporting guides include Kubota RTV-X1120D Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide, Kubota RTV-X1120D Specifications and Ownership Guide, and Kubota RTV-X1120D Parts Identification.

Kubota RTV-X1120: A Separate Name That Must Be Preserved

The RTV-X1120 designation appears in Kubota literature and North American launch coverage.

January 2018 reporting describes the addition of RTV-X1120 models with a 24.8 gross HP diesel engine, VHT-X transmission and a top speed of 29 mph. Additional launch coverage refers to six model options aimed at worksite customers.agdaily+1

RTV-X1120 vs RTV-X1120D

Do not automatically add or remove the “D” when researching a vehicle.

Both designations are documented. Kubota’s archived brochure uses RTV-X1120D in its model descriptions while also presenting an RTV-X1120 lineup with General Purpose, Worksite and Deluxe headings.kubotausa

That mixed naming makes exact identification more important, not less important.

A shared engine output or broadly similar appearance does not establish that every component, specification or standard feature is the same.

RTV-X1120 Equipment Configurations

The archived manufacturer material identifies:

• General Purpose.

• Worksite.

• Deluxe.

Its equipment comparison includes differences in wheels, guards, graphics, seat adjustment, tilt steering and bed-lift arrangements.kubotausa

For a purchase or repair decision, use the specific configuration and serial information rather than treating “RTV-X1120” as a complete equipment description.

Useful related articles include Kubota RTV-X1120 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide and Kubota RTV-X1120 vs RTV-X1120D.

Kubota RTV-X1100C: Factory-Cab Diesel Utility Vehicle

The RTV-X1100C combines the numeric X-series work platform with an integrated enclosed cab.

Kubota’s archived brochure lists a 24.8 HP D1105 diesel engine and describes a unibody cab-and-chassis arrangement with standard air conditioning, heating and defrost.kubotausa

What Makes the RTV-X1100C Different?

Its cab is an integral part of the model’s design, not merely an accessory enclosure fitted to an open-station RTV-X900.

That distinction affects replacement glass, doors, seals, climate controls and accessory selection. Use RTV-X1100C-specific information rather than assuming that an earlier RTV1100 or a newer RTV-X CAB uses identical parts.

The manufacturer’s parts catalogue maintains separate applications for the earlier RTV1100, numeric RTV-X1100C variants and newer descriptive-name models.shop.kubotausa

RTV-X1100C Catalogue Variants

The reviewed Kubota parts catalogue lists:

• RTV-X1100CR.

• RTV-X1100CW.shop.kubotausa

Kubota’s broader accessory information contains further detailed configuration references. A model-family table should not be mistaken for a complete factory ordering-code register.shop.kubotausa

RTV-X1100C Attachments and K-Connect

Some RTV-X1100C applications support more specialized equipment than a basic cargo vehicle.

Kubota’s archived brochure describes K-Connect with a power module, front PTO attachment options and snow-clearing or sweeping equipment.kubotausa

This does not mean that every RTV-X model has a PTO or that every used RTV-X1100C includes the required mounting, power and control components. Confirm the installed system and approved compatibility.

Supporting pages include Kubota RTV-X1100C Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide, Kubota RTV-X1100C Cab and Climate-System Guide, and Kubota RTV-X1100C K-Connect Compatibility.

Kubota RTV-X1140: Convertible Two- or Four-Person Model

The RTV-X1140 is the numeric X-series vehicle for owners who need to alternate between carrying passengers and maximizing cargo space.

Kubota documents its K-vertible system as changing the vehicle between one-row and two-row seating. The conversion involves the cargo-bed panels, protective screen and rear bench arrangement.kubotausa

RTV-X1140 Seating and Cargo Capacity

These are the archived USA brochure figures. The four-person arrangement does not retain the long-bed load rating.kubotausa

Hydraulic Bed Lift

Kubota’s brochure lists hydraulic dumping as standard on the RTV-X1140 and states that it operates in either seating configuration.kubotausa

The correct conversion and support procedures remain essential. A summary article should not replace the manual’s instructions for securing panels, seating and the protective screen.

RTV-X1140 Catalogue Variants

Kubota lists:

• RTV-X1140R.

• RTV-X1140W.shop.kubotausa

The later RTV-X CREW serves a related passenger-and-cargo role, but a similar function is not proof of parts interchangeability.

Use Kubota RTV-X1140 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide, Kubota RTV-X1140 Seating Conversion Guide, and Kubota RTV-X1140 vs RTV-X CREW.

Kubota RTV-X1130: Later Numeric Extended-Bed Model

The RTV-X1130 belongs in a numeric RTV-X directory, although it is not one of the original three models announced in 2013.

Kubota Canada retains a listing describing a two-person, open-station diesel vehicle with 23.3 HP, VHT-X transmission and a 26.4-cu.-ft. ProKonvert cargo box.kubota

ProKonvert Cargo Arrangement

The extended cargo platform is the RTV-X1130’s defining feature.

Kubota describes a modular cargo box that can be converted to a flatbed without tools. The emphasis is cargo access and configuration rather than convertible rear passenger seating.kubota

RTV-X1130 Catalogue Variants

Kubota’s parts catalogue lists:

• RTV-X1130R.

• RTV-X1130W.shop.kubotausa

RTV-X1130 vs RTV-X LONG BED

Current Canadian information contains both names and similar headline specifications. That does not establish that every component, model-year application or accessory is interchangeable.kubota

Retain the vehicle’s original designation during manual and parts research.

Use Kubota RTV-X1130 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide and Kubota RTV-X1130 vs RTV-X LONG BED for further coverage.

Complete Verified Catalogue Variant Summary

The following table consolidates the principal numeric-family applications explicitly shown in the reviewed Kubota parts catalogue.

These entries are verified applications, not a claim that every historical suffix, ordering code or country-specific version is listed. Public-facing model names and parts-catalogue headings do not always use identical formatting.kubotausa+2

Maintenance for Earlier Numeric RTV-X Models

The shared VHT-X platform helps organize maintenance content, but it does not justify one universal service schedule.

The archived brochure identifies differences in engines, equipment, dimensions, seating and cargo arrangements. Use the manual matching the full model and serial information for specifications and procedures.kubotausa

Engine, Filters and Cooling System

Separate the D902-powered RTV-X900 from the D1105-powered models documented in the historical brochure.

The brochure also highlights the front-mounted radiator and air-intake arrangement as accessible maintenance areas. Cooling checks should follow the correct manual rather than a generic instruction based solely on engine displacement.kubotausa

Relevant supporting articles include Kubota RTV-X Service Checklist, Kubota RTV-X Engine Oil and Filter Guide, and Kubota RTV-X Cooling-System Maintenance.

VHT-X Transmission and Driveline

The numeric diesel models discussed here use VHT-X rather than the belt-driven CVT arrangement found on some gasoline RTVs.kubotausa+1

Use model-specific transmission fluid, filter and control information. Do not apply a Sidekick belt-maintenance article to an RTV-X900 or RTV-X1100C.

Suspension, CV Boots and Brakes

Kubota’s brochure documents independent suspension, CV-joint protection and wet-disc brakes across the described X-series range.kubotausa

A maintenance guide should identify the applicable inspection points and procedures without assuming that every component is identical across the short-wheelbase, cab and convertible models.

Use Kubota RTV-X Suspension and Driveline Inspection and Kubota RTV-X Brake Maintenance for these systems.

Cargo-Bed and Cab Equipment

Identify whether the bed is manually or hydraulically operated. On the RTV-X1140, include the convertible seating and bed arrangement. On the RTV-X1100C, include the factory climate equipment.

Those differences are documented parts of the model specifications, not optional details that can be ignored in an ownership guide.kubotausa

Troubleshooting Earlier RTV-X Utility Vehicles

Use symptoms to select the correct diagnostic route rather than assuming a component has failed.

Useful investigation categories include:

• Engine will not crank.

• Engine cranks but will not start.

• Engine runs poorly or loses power.

• Vehicle will not move.

• Range selection is difficult.

• Travel performance changes after warming up.

• Cargo bed will not operate.

• Cab heating, cooling or defrost does not work correctly.

These are article-navigation categories, not claims that the faults are widespread.

Starting and Engine Problems

Record the exact model, engine identification and conditions under which the symptom occurs.

Use Kubota RTV-X Diesel Starting Problems for the initial route, followed by a model-specific guide where the procedure or specification differs.

Drive and Range-Selection Problems

Distinguish engine performance from vehicle movement. Record whether the complaint affects forward travel, reverse, a particular range or warm operation.

The documented VHT-X design is different from a gasoline CVT system, so diagnostic instructions must match the vehicle.kubotausa

Use Kubota RTV-X Will Not Move and Kubota RTV-X Range-Selection Problems as separate symptom guides.

Cargo and Cab Problems

Identify the actual equipment before investigating.

Manual cargo dumping, powered bed lift, convertible cargo arrangements and factory climate systems need different diagnostic information.kubotausa

Do not work beneath an unsupported raised bed, bypass safety devices or force controls as a substitute for diagnosis.

Safety Recalls Affecting Numeric RTV-X Models

Recall checks are important when buying or taking ownership of a used RTV-X.

Seat-Belt-Stay Recall

Kubota identifies a campaign involving seat-belt stays that can break. Its published notice lists the following affected ranges:kubotausa

Kubota instructs owners of recalled vehicles to stop using them and contact an authorized dealer for repair. The model wording above follows the notice; have the dealer confirm applicability against the full vehicle designation.kubotausa

RTV-X1100C Floor-Mat Recall

Kubota identifies certain model-year 2013–2021 RTV-X1100C vehicles, with serial numbers 10001–67546, in a floor-mat campaign. The stated hazard is interference with the throttle pedal if the mat warps or degrades.kubotausa

The remedy depends on the mat’s condition and involves dealer modification or replacement. Owners of affected vehicles are instructed to stop use and contact an authorized dealer.kubotausa

RTV-X1100C Fire-Hazard Recall

A separate notice covers certain 2013–2015 RTV-X1100C vehicles, serial numbers 10001–23172. Kubota identifies a risk of combustible debris contacting the exhaust manifold and igniting.kubotausa

The manufacturer instructs affected owners to stop use, park away from combustible materials and arrange dealer inspection and repair.kubotausa

Check for Additional Applicable Campaigns

These are not a complete substitute for a current dealer campaign check. Kubota also publishes a broader RTV-series front-suspension ball-joint recall, with eligibility determined by specific models and serial ranges.kubotausa

Owners in Canada should confirm applicability and repair arrangements through their local authorized dealer.

Buying a Used Numeric Kubota RTV-X

Begin with identification and documentation before comparing asking prices.

Request the full model and serial information, service history, details of modifications and evidence of applicable recall work. Then assess the actual engine, drivetrain, chassis, cargo equipment and cab condition using the correct documentation.

Pay particular attention to the feature that defines the model:

• RTV-X900: confirm the equipment grade and bed-lift arrangement.

• RTV-X1120D: verify the exact catalogue application.

• RTV-X1120: preserve the public model name and establish the correct parts reference.

• RTV-X1100C: assess the integrated cab and climate equipment.

• RTV-X1140: verify the seating conversion and configuration-specific load information.

• RTV-X1130: identify the extended-bed model without assuming LONG BED interchangeability.kubotausa+2

An accessible parts diagram does not establish immediate availability of every component. Confirm parts and repair requirements before committing to a vehicle needing major work.

Earlier Numeric RTV-X Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main earlier numeric Kubota RTV-X models?

The principal models are RTV-X900, RTV-X1120D, RTV-X1120, RTV-X1100C and RTV-X1140. The later RTV-X1130 is also included because it uses a numeric designation and an extended cargo platform.kubotausa+2

Are RTV-X1120 and RTV-X1120D the same name?

Both are documented designations. Do not add or remove the “D” without checking the vehicle and applicable documentation. Manufacturer literature and launch coverage use both names.kubotausa+1

Do these diesel RTV-X models use CVT belts?

The models covered here use VHT-X hydrostatic transmission. They should not be serviced using belt-CVT instructions for a gasoline Sidekick or RTV400Ci.kubotausa+1

Which numeric RTV-X has a factory cab?

The RTV-X1100C has an integrated factory cab with heating, air conditioning and defrost.kubotausa

Which numeric RTV-X carries four people?

The RTV-X1140 converts between two- and four-person configurations. Its cargo volume and listed bed-load capacity change with the arrangement.kubotausa

Which numeric RTV-X has the extended cargo box?

Kubota Canada lists the RTV-X1130 with a 26.4-cu.-ft. ProKonvert cargo box.kubota

Is the RTV-X1110 included in the USA and Canada lineup?

It is documented in European coverage and appears in a USA catalogue reference, but the evidence reviewed does not establish normal North American retail availability sufficiently to include it as a confirmed USA/Canada model.kubotausa+1

Are all earlier numeric RTV-X models discontinued?

Do not assume so from their names alone. Manufacturer pages, retained listings and dealer stock can overlap, and Kubota Canada still lists RTV-X1130 alongside newer descriptive names. Confirm current availability in the relevant market.kubota
