I've noticed another improvement while looking them over locally Jerry.
In the review I posted on the 1455v I mentioned a weak spot in the design of the telescoping sway-bars and how they were mounted at the rear axle.
The telescoping “sway-bars” on the 3PH are nice to have as they make it much easier to adjust your implement. However, this model seems to have a little problem where it ties to the rear axle housing. There is a pin arrangement that creates a “hinge” effect and will allow the sway bar to push past the plate holding the sway bar to the axle housing, bending the plate.
They have added reinforcement to help prevent bending where it's attached, but didn't make any changes to the actual sway-bar design. Little things like this will make for a better tractor, but don't show up unless you're looking for them. This makes me a lot happier than some of the other stuff, such as "digital dash", etc.
I'm also glad to see them offering a cab with some of the CUT's this time. I've been looking at some of these in the marketplace thinking I might need one in the next year or so...
