Ergo my surprise..I have full coverage on my BX23 which cost pretty much the same new and it's something like $150 per year for 13.5k coverage. Might be something to what I was told.
Dealer called this afternoon... His first 1120 has arrived and it sounds like they put it together as soon as it came off the truck. He asked me to come drive it. But it was raining, I was cozy and dry at the local country store and couldn't be bothered.
Maybe tomorrow...

I finally got around to seeing and driving the new 1120 and was impressed with the ride quality but still not sold on the 2 gear ranges or the guts sticking out past the rear tires. Huge mistake IMHO.
I realize some of these photos are bad but I was trying to exclude faces in some of them and was just in a hurry.

Finally got to put my hands on one but no drive yet! Bed seems shorter but wider, def load a pallet in! Storage a plus
Front and rear 2"? Receivers nice
Big plus for adjustable seat and steering, without this momma lookin elsewhere so thankfully kubota back on top.
Sippin on diesel always a winner
New styling ok but no head turner
Air intake, lap/shoulder harness, solid backrest raised 12" above bed height all pluses
Can't wait to drive one and see if all the performance hype is actual. Should be here in a week or two.
And yes we are buying!
Who ever parallel-parked the orange-one did a darn good job...

Looks like the 1100 dinosaur got some much needed updates. The suspension and limited slip front end sounds great. These rtv's suffered from lack of offroad capabilities.

All true, but at an epic premium to an already expensive machine...Do a build my Kubota and see..True that's MSRP, but I doubt there's much savings to be had below that.

ok, I built identical 1100's. the options for both were the front back light and spray bed liner.
rtv1100 -msrp $20,885..
rtvx1100 msrp $21385.
exactly $500 difference. with the suspension and front end updates alone I would pay double that. not to mention its 100lb lighter and almost 3" axle width increase. could care less about tranny update. when these thing hit the market and get out there it will kill our resale prices. to finally have an rtv that can drive off road is awesome.
