kabota rtv 1140

[[email protected]]

This rig is hard to get in and out of gear. I have been stuck several times. Kabota has been trying to fix this for 4 years that I know of. They will give you a new shifting fork. I'm installing mine this week.
anyone else have a solution?

buy a polaris ranger

You guy's must have better Polaris Rangers than we do here in GA. They are without a doubt the biggest pieces of crap made, except for the ride.

I notice when I drive by atv and utv dealers I see way to many polaris in repair. I see a couple Kaw mule / atv and once in a while a old Honda is there. I have a Honda's and so far they only wear out tires. This post may JINKs me hope not. RT

Polaris has taking over the UTV and SXS market . There's more rangers sold than anything else .

The reason you see more there, is because more are sold. When you drive by your tractor dealer do you see a lot of Belarus tractors in the repair shop? If not, does that make them better tractors?

My question was about the kabota 1140. Any information about this topic. Trouble shifting.

I have a 1140 and have not had what I consider a problem shifting but every once in a while it can not want to go into gear. This usually happens when the machine is on a grade or wedged up against something like nose down in a ditch. That is one of the quirks with the hydrostatic tranny. I guess you know how to slightly accelerate to get to go into gear? Work it like a tractor where you apply a slight pressure to the gear shift and accelerate slightly.

FWIW I think the 1140 is one of the best work machines out there if you need a small truck like RTV. I like mine.

We have an 1140 and the hydrostatic transmission can be a bit touchy. Turning the steering wheel both directions full and/or pulling out the little knob on the dash (as indicated on the placards) do the trick though.
