Kubota Tractor Corp. launches a hydraulic utility valve system for its RTV900 Worksite utility and turf utility models

Kubota Tractor Corp. launches a hydraulic utility valve system for its RTV900 Worksite utility and turf utility models, which features a remote valve that is conveniently located at the rear of the vehicle to allow easy hookup of a variety of heavy-duty hydraulic tools. The system has a 5-gpm pump capacity as well as a dedicated hydraulic oil cooler and reservoir to keep tools running at peak performance. These enhancements equip the RTV900 Worksite Utility and Turf Utility models to break concrete, cut lumber and brush, prune orchards, drive posts holes and perform other tough tasks. The RTV900s are powered by a 21.6-hp, three-cylinder liquid-cooled Kubota diesel engine. The unit also features a spacious cargo bed and an improved tailgate design that lets gate cables swivel to prevent bending and breaking. The 7.5-inch ground clearance, long wheelbase, wide-treaded tires and reliable four-wheel wet-disc brakes all contribute towards maximum towing capacity of 1,300 pounds.
