New RTVX1140 Observations...

I traded off my Rtv1140...2010 model with about 1700 hours and picked up the new rtvx1140. We use these to check cattle mainly. After two days of ownership...and about 40 miles we sure are surprised how much better the ride is compared to the old one. In rough pastures that old one would make you chip a tooth. It looks like the radiator on this new one is about 100% better (larger and under hood) than the old side radiatior. We were always blowing out the radiator on the old one...and even when it was clean...after about 5 miles at 25mph is would start moving the guage over to the red. Looks like this one is 4 lug wheels and old one was 5? My dealer was out of tops but should have me one this week... I really like the tilt wheel.
Anyways...I don't think the cattle give a damn which one I was on (as long as I hand out a few cubes) but I think this one is a big step up from the last.

Awesome. Congrats and thanks for the review.
I could sure use an 1140, and have considered upgrading but have procrastinated. Great to hear how much better the newer ones are. Used once appear to be priced so close to new ones that one might as well go new.
 
Thanks....try to keep them on good grass.

Also noticed this one is taller that the older one. The Kubota roof puts another inch and a half on it...and barely fits in my trailer which I special ordered to be 7 feet on the inside.

Nice way to haul that little monster around.......Send some of that grass this way. Thanks to army worms and 3 inches of rain since May, pastures here in NW Ga are totally brown or gone..........
 
We have had tons of rain on the Texas gulf coast. We have to fight the army worms in our Jiggs fields. I took this pic with a drone on Saturday and if you look at the far field you can see tire marks where my guy was spraying SEVIN to kill the army worms.
