Happy New Year Everyone!
We have a small fruit growing operation on 19 acres in SE Ohio. An '04 Honda Foreman has been our workhorse for 12 years. To make our lives a little easier and get more done, we had been planning to purchase an 1120.
Recently, my Wife became interested in the 1140 mainly due to the larger bed when in two person mode and the ability to haul a couple of passengers when needed. I have to admit, its a pretty slick conversion and is a little more money.
There are three main things I am hung up on. First, the property is a mixture of open fields and thick woods with trails. Most of the trails are relatively flat but some are pretty steep climbs. Also some of our nut trees are back in the woods where maneuverability is important. So the turning radius is important to me; 13.1 on the 1120 and 17.1 on the 1140. I already drive a crew cab long bed chevy which is like driving a bus sometimes.
Second is the top speed - 29 on the 1120 versus 25 on the 1140. Since they have the same motor, I have to conclude the speed diff is due to the 300 additional pounds of weight on the 1140. I am wondering how it might affect hill climbing ability.
Last is the ground clearance. On the 1140, its a little more in the front and a little less in the rear - versus the 1120.
For you 1140 owners, have you had any trouble with turning radius, power or clearance?
Thanks
