The All-New RTV-X Cab: Features and Upgrades

Farms.com recently met with Kubota to learn more about the updates to its utility vehicle lineup.

Formally known as the RTV-X 1100, Kubota has simplified its lineup by removing model numbers and rebranding it as the RTV-X Cab for clarity.

Andrew Pittard, product marketing specialist with Kubota, provided a full overview of the newly redesigned side-by-side.

The RTV-X Cab features several key improvements, starting with a redesigned hood that offers a more aggressive look. They also upgraded to a brighter, more powerful LED light to enhance visibility.

A notable change is the tire upgrade—from the HDWS tire to the new HDM deep tire. This all-terrain tire performs excellently in snow, dirt, gravel, and turf, making it ideal for various environments.

The RTV-X Cab retains versatile configurations, including PTO implements such as blades, snow blowers, sweepers, and debris blowers.

This model is particularly popular due to its cab, which includes both air conditioning and heating, ensuring all-season comfort.

Kubota has also introduced trim packages for further customization.

The standard trim includes low beam LED headlights and a bumper guard, while the premium trim offers high and low LED headlights and a wraparound grill.

A standout feature of the premium trim is the ProKonvert cargo box, which allows for independent adjustment of the sides for easier loading. If preferred, the sides can be removed entirely to create a flatbed—with no tools required.

For added personalization, the premium trim also provides new color options, including desert sand, traditional orange, and camo. Alloy wheels are also included in the premium package.

Video: Seeing the Whole Season: How Continuous Crop Modeling Is Changing Breeding

Plant breeding has long been shaped by snapshots. A walk through a plot. A single set of notes. A yield check at the end of the season. But crops do not grow in moments. They change every day.

In this conversation, Gary Nijak of AerialPLOT explains how continuous crop modeling is changing the way breeders see, measure, and select plants by capturing growth, stress, and recovery across the entire season, not just at isolated points in time.

Nijak breaks down why point-in-time observations can miss critical performance signals, how repeated, season-long data collection removes the human bottleneck in breeding, and what becomes possible when every plot is treated as a living data set. He also explores how continuous modeling allows breeding programs to move beyond vague descriptors and toward measurable, repeatable insights that connect directly to on-farm outcomes.

This conversation explores:

• What continuous crop modeling is and how it works

• Why traditional field observations fall short over a full growing season

• How scale and repeated measurement change breeding decisions

• What “digital twins” of plots mean for selection and performance

• Why data, not hardware, is driving the next shift in breeding innovation As data-driven breeding moves from research into real-world programs, this discussion offers a clear look at how seeing the whole season is reshaping value for breeders, seed companies, and farmers, and why this may be only the beginning.
