The RTV-X Series in-action in Washington County, Georgia

9/17/2018

Built for all tasks. All terrains.

Kubota’s Utility Vehicles are built to perform during the most demanding of tasks, and on the most demanding terrains. Kubota spoke with Paul Coughlin from Southeastern Performance Minerals, LLC about his experience with the Kubota RTV-X1140 Utility Vehicle, and how it’s handled working in an arduous industrial setting.

No road? No problem.

“The reason we went with the X1140 is we’re operating on industrial sites and mining operations. We’re off-road and in the pits.”

The X1140 features Kubota’s Extra Duty IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) technology, which provides a stable and comfortable ride over rough terrain. Perfect for when Paul and his crew find themselves in an unforgiving worksite.

Room for more

“One of the reasons we use a four-seater is we bring customers to the work space. This gives us the ability to drive them around our site and show our customers how we make the materials they purchase from us.“

“We can use it as a two-seater if just a couple of our maintenance guys are using it. If we’re using it for corporate visits and showing people around our operation, we can turn it back into a four-seater.”

The RTV-X1140 can transition from four seats to two when you need all of its extra-large cargo bed, featuring industry leading cargo capacity. This flexibility allows you to carry more -- whether it’s passengers or cargo -- wherever you’re headed.

More power = more productivity.

“We looked at other products on the market, but they were not a fit in terms of strength. We’re an industrial operation, and our guys are hard on equipment.”

“When we get a lot of rain or need a lot of power, we need the four-wheel drive on the X1140. “

Even when the path disappears, you can rely on the RTV-X1140’s powerful 24.8 HP diesel engine to keep you moving forward. Kubota-built and trail-proven, these 3-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engines have a well-earned reputation for dependable performance even in the harshest terrains. The RTV-X1140 also sports four-wheel drive, multi-disc brakes, and CV joint protectors.

Superior service for superior products.

“The big thing I’ve found with Kubota and my local Kubota dealer is service. If I have a problem or we need a part, it’s an easy phone call. 

“We’re a production operation, and our equipment needs to keep running. Down time is lost money for us. Our experience with Kubota (service) to date has been exceptional.”

Kubota knows there’s no substitute for superior service. Your local Kubota provider can help you make the most of your investment, and keep your Kubota vehicle running for years to come.
