Home Forums Gear Horses and ATV's Any Kubota RTV 500 Owners

Looking for reviews of this UTV. Not interested in any others.

Not an owner. Have used and serviced them. It is Kubota build quality. Tried and true and old school so it works. The engine keeps it slow enough not to beat you like an NFL o-line because the suspension is probably from a model A. Great for landscapers and putzing on the ranch. The selectable rear end is easy on the lawn. You could say it wants to be spunky. It has disc brakes front and rear but the engine braking is enough without a trailer. No sprague clutch to go out. Servicing with Kubota fluids is expensive. Don't hit your head on the ROPS.

I think these two are '09 and '13. Neither have power steering. Both require a firm hand on the wheel unlike the two finger driving of my EPS rig.

I've had one since 2016 (I think) we just use it to move stuff about the yard and drive around the neighborhood for like trick or treating...the rear axel is only rated for a little tongue weight - either 150 or 300 lbs i think, so i made a an axle with a coupler on it to tow trailers and boats around before i got my b2601.

I was thinking about getting rid of it...until my tractor got stuck and I used the rtv (and some come alongs) to get the tractor unstuck...so we still use it every now and then.

The rtv can get stuck too. They are low to the ground.
