What rims and tires are you running on your X1140? I love mine but about time for tires and thinking about rims. I love my X1140 but I do have to agree with your cons for the most part but I knew about them before I purchased mine. When shifting, if you haven't been told, if it doesn't want to go into gear, first, be sure parking brake is off, second just burp the throttle and shift. Normally that is all it takes. The transmission is not synchronized. Also be sure your foot is on the brake as it engages a relief valve on the HST. You also may know this but if you want to raise the bed with the engine off you can push the lift lever all the way down into float mode and you can manually lift the bed for service etc. Just a couple of things not everyone knows about these machines. Thank you for the video!
I have three of them. That box can handle three thousand pounds and still dump. Be careful turning the sides in. My was a little stiff. I forced it open and the metal hinge ripped. They are very thin metal. My 2014 model is a little stronger because it’s better metal than the new design. Take care.
Nice review. I’ve got the Kubota 520 which is a different ride but useful to see your experience and how you utilize the RTV. Subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing! Ours sure does get a lot of use.
Good review. Thx.
You’re welcome, thanks for watching.

Thanks for sharing the tip!
I tried the Kubota diesel and found it to be extremely underpowered.
Compared to? Please enlighten us.
