Hardtop for a RTV1140, I want one

[JOHNTHOMAS]

Decided I need/want a hardtop for my RTV 1140. Need sources and price. I've got a starting (Retail) price at my Kubota Dealer but not an actual cost to me price from the owner.
So, any assistance of where to purchase a hard top and price will be appreciated.

John, just curious, but are you considering a metal top or a hard plastic one?

I was sure I wanted a top when we bought our 1140 back in November. My wife convinced me to wait to see if I really needed it. Now that we have made it through the heat of the summer without it I think I am going to do without for a while longer. There are several places along the trails in my woods that would do a number on a top.

Its hard to justify $700 on a top.

My wife made a waterproof material top for ours but the space between rails holds several gallons of water, the back section did not hold with velcro and I tore it on a tree limb hanging over my trail last week. Having one has shone me that I do want a top but I want more than a cloth top. I finally talked to Steve Barlow today (Owner of Barlows Tractor Sales) and he has one of the black plastic ones that's suggested retail of $395 which he sold me for $300. It's worth that much to me and I'm tight. I'll keep the RTV for years, maybe ten or more so that should work out to $30 or less per year. Told him I'll pick it up next week. There was one like it on a RTV900 he had in his showroom and it looks good to me. I'll post pictures after I get it.

Its hard to justify $700 on a top.

I agree, where did the $700 come from?

$700 is what I was quoted for the nice heavy vinyl top from kubota;

UTV Roofs for the Kubota RTV 1140 is a great looking metal top and I was quoted $609. I'd certainly rather have metal but still a little pricey.

Metal Top for use on Kubota RTV1140 : Fortress UTV-ATV Accessories is also a great looking metal top and I don't know how much it is.

It would be ideal to have a metal roof w a rack on it capable of carrying lumber. If I was handier with metal working, I'd try and make one.

This looks like a pretty good deal.

I got the factory top on my 1140 and really like it. I've used it in the rain and stayed dry, used it for shade from the sun, even scrubbed it up against trees that I've gotten too close to and not broken it. Expensive yes, but if I had to do it all over again, I would buy it. I believe you will enjoy it.

Didn't wait. Just went ahead and picked it up this morning and installed it. Well satisfied with it.
