We own a 2020 Kubota RTV-XG-850, with only 400 hours on it and it has been at the dealer 3+ months. We were just informed our engine failed and requires a complete rebuild at only 400 hours! There is a loss of compression in cylinder #1, which is causing backfiring and a loss of power. There is also excess gas in the engine oil.
We are just outside of the manufacture's warranty period, and they are serving us a nearly $5000 repair bill, with only a 90 day warranty.
A member at a different forum had the same issue at 22 hours and fortunately, his RTV is under warranty. He was informed that "short tripping" (as Kubota describes it) causes gasoline to enter into the engine oil, which causes a dilution of engine oil and eventually leads to catastrophic engine failure. This killed our engine in under 400 hours!
Is anyone else with a 2018-2022 XG-850 running into similar issues?

Howdy all,
Time for the 200 hour service. I did see that someone finally put a youtube video up. Only thing it is missing is the spark arrester service. Anyone know anything about that? I did see a youtube video, not related to this one, for doing that service but it is very suspect. I'm not a fan of beating on parts with a rubber mallet.
Anyway, here is the video that I will using to do my service. Hope it is of use to some of you.

I would like to perform most all my own servicing on the Kubota rtv-x1140. What is the best way to raise the machine for skid plate removal, etc? I would like it to be parallel with the ground after elevated. It is difficult for me doing that lying under it on the ground. I’m not certain where safe lift points are. Can I use a residential 2 post car lift?, or is a “drive on” platform the only option?
