I just purchased a new X1140. I had a Model 500 gas and really like the diesel much better. I had the 500 for three years and it was bullet proof. The first day I used the 1140, I ran it all day, off and on, and put 24 miles on it. I refilled at the end of the day amd it took 9/10 of a gallon. I will use it here at home taking care of my place and will be doing some hunting. Look forward to talking with everyone about their Kubotas!!!
