Kubota RV Ridevator
The Kubota RV Ridevator is a small utility tractor designed for light work around farms and properties. It has a 2-wheel drive system and a manual steering setup, making it easy to handle in tight spaces. The tractor uses a belt-driven gear transmission with 6 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, giving the operator good control over speed and power. Under the hood, the RV Ridevator has a single-cylinder, air-cooled gasoline engine made by Kubota. This engine is naturally aspirated and puts out 9 horsepower at 2000 rpm, which is on the lower end for tractor power. The engine's size is also quite small compared to other tractors. Despite its small engine, the RV Ridevator weighs 1150 pounds, which is light for a tractor. This makes it easy to move around and reduces damage to soft ground. The tractor has an electric starter for easy operation.
