I have a rarely used RTVX-1100C bought new in 2017.

When buying, I specified front work lights (dual) and rear work light(s) (only available in single). All are halogen.

Yesterday, I viewed a new looking, municipally owned RTVX-1100C also with dual front work lights which looked identical to the halogen lights on my RTVX-1100C. Though daylight, the front work lights were on and were obviously LEDs.

Today, I checked with one of my dealers to see if Kubota had recently changed from halogen to LED work lights, and was told no such changes had been made as standard equipment and no optional LED work lights were offered.

Anyone know if direct replacement aftermarket LED work light assemblies are available for the RTVX-1100C?

Relatedly, my RTVX-1100C has a single rear work light on the driver's side yet there are similar mounting provisions for work lights both on the passenger side and in the center. Anyone know if one or both of these locations are pre-wired for work lights?

SDT - - it seems I replaced my BX headlights with a standard LED 881 or 886 automotive bulb.

I did a very cursory look at photos online, and I think your bulbs are very similar to those I replaced, and seem to match the base of an 881 or 886.


It's been a few years, but I think I just took a bulb with me for comparison, and picked up a pair at local auto parts store.

Just a follow up. I don’t have a packing slip, but obviously got my replacement bulbs online. The label of the new bulbs isn’t very helpful to me.

These are my stock bulbs, replacements are not labeled. The 896 is compatible with many common bases as I recall, including 881 and 886.

This is a replacement bulb.

I recently spec'd out an RTV-X1100C and my dealer quoted LED work lights on it front and rear? He never said anything about them being aftermarket?

Obviously not factory Kubota, but I like how they set this one up.

Harman XXV. I think 15th season. Will take up to 50% corn, but haven’t tried it. Neighbors pick and dry 1,500 acres of corn.

Used to burn 1,000 gallons fuel oil per year plus about 12 face cords of firewood. Last year on major oil/firewood cost about $4,000.

Have done some major projects for energy efficiencies....

Now it’s 5 tons of wood pellets and about 20 gallons of oil. Cost about $1,350.
