    1140 Cab

    Sorry for the double post. My browser hung up and I refreshed. I deleted one last night, but it has not been removed yet.</p> My dealer told me the doors are scheduled to start shipping in May, but he feelsthe demand for new machines may push back the delivery of whole goods orders.</p>...

    1140 Cab

    Ordered my new ride yesterday, should have it within two weeks. Decided to go with the 1100 camo RTV tires, spay in bed liner, and rear window screen. It will be coming from the Ohio factory, so it will have all the updates. </p> I am thinking about ordering new wheels and turf tires next...

    1140 Cab

    I found an aftermarket sliding window for the 1100. I gave them a call, the inner windows is glass, but the outer window is plexiglass. Their windows goes in your existing door. Here is their website </p> http://www.sfsspecialties.com/</p> </p> Factory sliding windows will be available as...

    1140 Cab

    Found out some more info on the 1100 today. The new models will have a sliding window. From what the dealer described this will be a whole new door, that has flat glass instead of the rounded glass of the existing door. I don't know if they are available if I order now or if I need to wait...

    1140 Cab

    What was lacking in the 1100, was it power, speed or both?I thoughtboth the 1100 and 1140 have the same24.8 hp engine and samehydro. The 1100 weighs 110 lbs more, I wouldn't think the extra weight would have much of an effect.</p> I didn't think about not hearing what was happening outside the...

    1140 Cab

    I assume you are correct.Curtis Cabs described them as a cantilever door. I would expect the doors would operate on an arch, being farthest from the cab near the half open point, then coming back closer to the cab as they open.</p>

    1140 Cab

    Scott fron Curtis just emailed me the installation instructions for the 1140 front cab and the heater. It is the same heater they use on the 900. It has some good photos of the cab during and after installation. If anyone is interested, email me at</p> rfritz AT stoneycreekshooting DOT com</p>...

    1140 Cab

    Here is what I found out about this cab. It is a Kubota factory cab (Curtis) with the cantilever doors. The cab was only available for the 900's. The doors latch in the open position and can be driven with them open (within reason). They have been discontinued by Curtis. The guy I spoke with at...

    1140 Cab

    Below is a picture of the cab I was talking about. Does anyone know what brand cab this is? This is one of the nicer looking cabs I have seen. If I can find a cab similar to this that will fit the 1140, it may sway me that direction, otherwise I will probably go with the 1100.</p> </p> </p>

    1140 Cab

    I live in Somerset County, PAabout 60 miles east of Pittsburgh. Our winters are probably similar. I saw a photo of a cab on a 900 that looked perfect. It had hard doors and the door appeared to slide back rather than swing open. It was for sale on one of the auction sites. I plan to call...

    1140 Cab

    I am just about to become a first time RTV owner. I am debatingbetween the 1100 and 1140. TheA/C in the 1100 would be nice, but not a hugedeal to me. The heating system of the 1100 looks like it would be much better than the add on heater in the 1140. I own a sporting clays range and small farm...
