There is also a non-user-friendly safety feature called the ‘speed governor,’ designed to limit your speed when the seatbelt is not engaged. However, this Kubota mode l doesn’t seem to respond particularly well to acceleration, and users have described it as feeling ‘jumpy,’ which can become a real issue when trying to navigate tight or densely wooded areas. While not such an issue for general tractor/mowing applications, as this is designed to be a sidekick, you may often want to use it on rough land or in non-open-field applications. The result to the end user is this experience of being slightly unsafe, and buyers have made it clear they would’ve preferred a little more protection. While this sounds ideal on paper, that over-exposure to the environment can have negative effects such as additional susceptibility to the elements and be overly open to things such as branches or flying objects. The intention is to provide you as a user with unhindered access to the outside environment without having to leave the vehicle. However, one area of complaint is that the doors are pretty small.
Conscious and deliberate design decisions have been made to make accessibility as easy as possible. This is designed to be a trouble-free ‘sidekick’ to all the typical errands you want to run correctly. Others are more serious engine-related problems that require some good upkeep to avoid more issues. Sound great! So what are these issues that so many users are reporting? Some of them are superfluous issues with design flaws that make the operation of the machine a little more troublesome. And by and large, maintenance and upkeep are a breez e making this an excellent purchase for the first-time utility tractor owner too! Hope this helps someone.This Kubota tractor comes with a slew of features that make it more than capable of whatever tasks are at hand, from the powerful, 48hp engine, to their ‘worry-free’ CVT Plug transmission with a centrifugal clutch to keep the belts tight with minimal slippage.Įverything about this Kubota UTV is designed to make your life easier. U could even try various springs to customize the pedal to you. But for those who find the stock pedal annoying, there is an inexpensive option thatÂ’s diy. Also, itÂ’s nice being able to rest your foot on the pedal without causing a surge. I feel I have much more control when taking off because I have to push as opposed to the weight of my foot causing jumpiness.
#KUBOTA SIDEKICK MODS INSTALL#
I had to bend the bottom tang in order to install it but it went on with relative ease. The stock spring is 4 inches but they did not have that in a length that would work. So I stopped at tractor supply and purchased a 3/4x3-3/4x.105 extension spring. But in my opinion, the spring is too weak and too easy to press, especially when starting out and going over bumps. The pedal was now at a much more natural position. So I removed it, put it in a vise, straightened it at the bend, repainted it(the bending caused the paint to crack), waited a few minutes, and reinstalled.
The pedal is poorly positioned and it is too easy to press which contributes to the jumpiness. But I soon understood what was previously posted about the foot hovering and felt fatigue in my leg. So I get the machine home and first had some fun. So I was aware of the gas pedal issue before purchasing but was not at all deterred as I heard there was a pedal upgrade. Scoured posts and watched videos before trading.
