From the National Farm Machinery Show tradeshow floor, Kubota Tractor Corporation introduced its new LX2620 compact tractors, RTV-X1130 and RTV-X, to farmers and ranchers nationwide.
Kubota’s LX20 Series has evolved to include the introduction of the new LX2620 to its popular tractor lineup. The LX2620 comes with a wide range of performance-matched implements that make it ideal for gardening, landscaping, snow removal, and property maintenance jobs.
Ergonomic lever grips and steering wheel come standard in all models, and a new deluxe seat is available in the cab model; all focusing on operator comfort.
Other key features include reduced HST noise during max load, an updated HST pedal, 24.8 HP, new LED headlights* and new color-coded location markers for easy maintenance. The new LX2620 model will be available at authorized Kubota dealerships later this spring.
Meanwhile, the new RTV-X1130 is Kubota’s newest addition to the company’s line of diesel-powered utility vehicles. Designed to reimagine the capabilities of its cargo bed, the RTV-X1130 features a six-foot-long bed that offers increased productivity and configuration options to handle various types of cargo without needing tools.
The cargo bed features different material sub-compartments and an easy flatbed configuration with its new Kubota-exclusive Pro-Konvert bed. The RTV-X1130 is a dream machine for anyone moving, lifting, and dumping materials on the farm or ranch and is now available at authorized Kubota dealers.
“With the RTV-X1130, we reimagined what a cargo bed is capable of, and then we took it to the next level by adding a suite of accessories. We’re excited to offer this utility vehicle to anyone that needs to move material – it’s going to knock their socks off,” said Jacob Mandoza, Kubota product manager, utility vehicles. “This new model will round out a farmer’s fleet – it’s the material mover model. The RTV-X1130 transforms its bed configuration to manage different loads. Need to transport pallets? Drop the bed sides and it’s a flat bed. Have two material types that can’t be mixed? Add the bed dividers and take both in one trip. Have a heavy object? Load it up with our in-bed winch and get on your way. No matter what you’re hauling, moving, or dumping the RTV-X1130 is ready to get to work!”
Cargo bed features Pro-Konvert system
Kubota’s RTV-X1130 features a cargo bed that does more than ever before, thanks to its new Kubota-exclusive Pro-Konvert system.
The standard cargo bed capacity offers an impressive 26 cubic feet of storage and a cargo capacity of 1,213 pounds. Then, using the new Pro-Konvert system, the bed and its three sides can be easily configured without tools, allowing operators to drop the two sides and/or the back tailgate for loading and even converting it into a flatbed.
Plus, a hydraulic dump bed with new bed lock allows for more controlled loads and precision material placement. The hydraulic dump bed comes standard, so feed, gravel, turf, and more can be dumped with little effort in mere seconds. The cargo bed is constructed of heavy-duty steel and comes standard with a spray-on bed liner.
New cargo box accessories
Kubota’s RTV-X1130 features new cargo box accessories, including an optional rear, in-bed winch to load heavy and awkwardly sized loads; a tailgate extender for longer materials; and integrated in-bed LED lights so you can see into the bed during all times of the day and night.
Under-bed storage boxes keep smaller tools and items out of the way but are easily accessible when needed. No matter the task at hand, the RTV-X1130 is built to get the job done.
Kubota diesel engine and hydrostatic transmission
Kubota’s diesel engine and VHT-X hydrostatic transmission provide smooth and powerful performance on various terrains. The RTV-X1130 has a maximum travel speed of 25 mph and uses multi-disc wet brakes which provide long brake life.
Operators will have optimal control when traveling down long inclines, knowing that dynamic braking helps provide additional braking power. Traveling at low speeds is smooth and comfortable with a highly responsive throttle for traction and maneuverability with or without loads.
Regardless of the terrain or load, independent suspension on all four wheels helps to ensure an exceptional ride. Kubota’s extra-duty IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) technology is durable and helps to power optimal productivity.
