Kubota RTV520 Overview

The Kubota RTV520 is a compact, mid-size gas utility vehicle designed for farms, horse properties, rural acreages, landscaping, grounds maintenance and year-round property work.

Available through Weagant Farm Supplies in Brockville and Topline Trailer & Equipment in Winchester, the RTV520 combines a 17.4-horsepower liquid-cooled EFI gas engine with selectable four-wheel drive, Kubota’s VHT Plus hydrostatic transmission and a durable cargo box capable of carrying up to 440 pounds.

At only 54.7 inches wide, the RTV520 can travel through tighter pathways, barns, gates, wooded trails and confined working areas where a full-size utility vehicle may be less practical. Its compact size, simple controls and hydrostatic engine braking also make it approachable for operators with different levels of experience.

With up to 1,168 pounds of towing capacity and an available modular cab, front blade, winch and electric bed lift, the RTV520 can be configured for property maintenance and seasonal work throughout Eastern Ontario.

Key Features

17.4 HP Kubota EFI Gas Engine

The RTV520 is powered by a 514 cc, two-cylinder Kubota gasoline engine producing 17.4 gross horsepower.

Electronic Fuel Injection supports dependable starting in cold weather, responsive throttle control and consistent power delivery during hauling, towing and property-maintenance work.

The liquid-cooled design helps manage engine temperature during extended operation and changing working conditions.

VHT Plus Hydrostatic Transmission

Kubota’s VHT Plus Variable Hydrostatic Transmission provides smooth acceleration and simple one-pedal travel control.

Releasing the accelerator allows the transmission to help slow the vehicle. This hydrostatic engine-braking effect provides additional control when travelling downhill, towing or carrying material.

The transmission includes high and low forward ranges, allowing the operator to select a range suited to faster travel or demanding low-speed work.

Simple, Approachable Operation

The RTV520 is designed to be straightforward to operate, even for drivers who do not regularly use utility vehicles.

Features that help simplify operation include:

• One-pedal travel control
• High and low transmission ranges
• Smooth hydrostatic acceleration
• Hydrostatic engine braking
• Selectable four-wheel drive
• Hand-operated differential lock
• Clearly positioned operator controls

This makes the RTV520 suitable for farms, families, grounds-maintenance teams and properties where several people may operate the same vehicle.

Narrow 54.7-Inch Width

At approximately 54.7 inches wide, the RTV520 is narrower than Kubota’s full-size RTV models.

Its compact dimensions help it travel through:

• Barn aisles
• Gates
• Wooded trails
• Narrow pathways
• Landscaping
• Equestrian facilities
• Greenhouses
• Orchards
• Confined maintenance areas

Customers should measure gates, trails and storage areas before selecting a vehicle.

Selectable Four-Wheel Drive

The RTV520 can operate in two-wheel drive under normal conditions or switch into four-wheel drive when additional traction is required.

Four-wheel drive is useful when travelling across:

• Snow
• Mud
• Loose soil
• Wet fields
• Uneven trails
• Livestock yards
• Sloped terrain

A hand-operated rear differential lock provides additional traction when both rear wheels need to turn together.

Independent Front Suspension

Independent MacPherson-strut front suspension helps the front wheels react individually to changing terrain.

The system works with the five-link rear suspension to improve stability and ride comfort across fields, trails, laneways and uneven working areas.

Reduced Noise and Vibration

Kubota designed the RTV520 engine and chassis to reduce noise and vibration compared with earlier mid-size configurations.

Lower vibration can improve comfort and reduce operator fatigue during longer periods of property maintenance, farm work and transportation.

Heavy-Duty Cargo Box

The RTV520 includes an easily accessible cargo box measuring approximately 40.6 inches wide and 33.6 inches long.

The box provides:

• 8.9 cubic feet of cargo volume
• Up to 440 pounds of cargo capacity
• Space for tools, feed and property supplies
• Optional electric lift assistance

The compact cargo box is suitable for carrying:

• Feed
• Bedding
• Fencing supplies
• Hand tools
• Firewood
• Landscaping materials
• Barn supplies
• Maintenance equipment

Optional Electric Cargo-Bed Lift

An available electric cargo-bed lift can reduce the physical effort required to raise the box and unload material.

This can be helpful when transporting:

• Soil
• Mulch
• Feed
• Bedding
• Firewood
• Manure
• Yard debris

The bed lift must be confirmed as included or optional on the advertised unit.

1,168-Pound Towing Capacity

The RTV520 can tow up to 1,168 pounds when properly equipped and operated within Kubota’s stated limits.

Its towing capability makes it useful for moving compatible utility trailers, arena drags, lawn equipment and property supplies.

Trailer weight, tongue weight, terrain, vehicle payload and operating conditions must remain within the limits stated in the operator’s manual.

Available Modular Hard Cab

An available modular hard cab can provide additional protection from cold weather, wind and precipitation.

Available cab equipment may include:

• Hard roof
• Windshield
• Sliding side windows
• Rear panel
• Cab heater
• Windshield wiper
• Additional lighting

The modular cab allows the RTV520 to be configured for year-round property and farm use.

Available 60-Inch Front Blade

The RTV520 is compatible with an available 60-inch front blade for snow removal and light property-maintenance work.

A properly configured RTV520 can be used to clear:

• Walkways
• Laneways
• Barn entrances
• Stable yards
• Commercial pathways
• Small parking areas

Blade compatibility and required mounting equipment must be confirmed for the vehicle.

Available 3,500-Pound Winch

An available VRX35 winch provides up to 3,500 pounds of rated pulling capacity.

The winch can assist with property work, vehicle recovery and positioning compatible material or equipment.

Winch operation must follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions and rated limits.

Available Tires, Equipment and Accessories

Depending on configuration, the Kubota RTV520 may be equipped with:

• Standard or Deluxe package

RTV520 or Full-Size Kubota RTV?

The RTV520 is a strong choice for customers who prioritize:

• Compact dimensions
• Narrow access
• Straightforward operation
• Gasoline power

• Light-to-moderate hauling and towing

A full-size Kubota RTV-X or RTV-XG850 may be more appropriate for customers who need:

• Full-size diesel work capability
