Red Hills Rancher

I own two RTV-X1100C's.
Bought one of the first ones around in November last year, it has 2,300km showing on the odometer (how do you change it to miles?)
I bought the second one at the end of last May, it has about 1,900km.
The only mods are on the newer one I put on 26 inch Essex surefoots.
I have also owned a RTV 900 and RTV 1100 previously, got rid of them when the X series came out and wouldn't go back.
I do have one problem though, my ranch is fairly rough and I use my RTV-X's like pickups. I do all my ranch work over my 7,000 acres out of an RTV-X.
So far on the older machine I have broken the left front shock shaft at the top by the mount. My dealer covered it, this was at the beginning of May.
Bought the second machine and with less than 20 hours on it (first week!,) broke the right rear shock in the same spot..... Again, dealer warranty.
Now this morning I had just dropped off some mineral for my cows, heading back out of the pasture and bang! Left front shock shaft.
I don't care about the slop in the suspension bushings, anyone else broken shocks or am I just too hard on things?
The manager at the dealership told me he would look into it, but the shop foreman allowed that I'm not the only one that has brought in a RTV-X with a broken shock shaft. He wouldn't tell me anymore than Kubota was aware of the problem and working with supplier to correct the issue. He didn't know about a pending recall.
