One of our highlights from the show was the Kubota RTV-X, which Farmers Hot Line’ s Sales Manager Carol Harrison actually had the pleasure to test drive.
“ The Kubota RTV-X series impresses in nearly every aspect. This utility vehicle is well-suited for both work and play. Whether you are using it on a farm or simply for off-road exploration, the RTV-X delivers a reliable, comfortable and capable driving experience. After the test drive, it’ s clear that Kubota continues to set a high standard in the utility vehicle market.” Harrison said.
Whether you’ re handling small tasks or tackling big jobs, this diesel utility vehicle was created to excel in nearly every scenario— from farm chores and snow clearing to transporting gear or a trophy deer.
NASCAR star Ross Chastain played a key role in promoting the RTV-X. On Wednesday, he spent a good amount of time at the Kubota booth, where he met fans, signed autographs and posed for photos with fans.

From the largest farms to the smallest hobby farms, this machine can provide a lot of avenues for people to get away from the crazy world out there and just work the land,” NASCAR star Ross Chastain told a small group of media members at the show.
The RTV-X builds on Kubota’ s legacy with enhanced features like a redesigned exterior, HDMP tires and the ProKonvert cargo bed.
