I have a 1000-5 I bought two years ago. I'm really happy with the machine overall. It does all the tasks I wanted to perform and then some. I could go into a full rant about how the dealer left the toe-out at 1 1/8" and burned a set of front tires off it in short order, but that's not a reflection of the machine, but rather the dealer set up...
I have the standard stuff a lot of people probably get on their machines. I have a hard roof and a 4500lb winch. Nothing fancy, just basic stuff.
I use this on my farm in central IA, take it to our family farms in NW MO, and occasionally to our vacation home in Southern CO. I use it the majority of the time on gravel (limestone) roads in IA and MO. I fear that a full windshield will create a monster dust storm in and cover me, the kids, and most importantly, THE WIFE, with dust. I'm not adding doors or sealing anything else up.
I want a something up front that allows air to flow, but will also cut down on the rush of air wooshing through the cabin as we drive. You can't hold a conversation in this thing, and you sure as hell can't keep a cigar lit if you're out for a leisure drive on Sunday after church.
I'm seriously wondering if those small 'Half' windshields might be an option for me. If they knock down the air some but not completely, that might be the ticket. I also noticed that maybe there exists the possibility of buying a lower 'half' and trying it, and then adding the top half that flips out or opens partially without tossing the first part of the purchase over in the shed and starting over. That appeals to me.
So... What I'm hoping for is some first hand feedback from you folks that have these, or even links to video, where people are using these so I can get a better feel what I'm buying and more importantly how it actually works for the people who own them.
Thank you in advance for your help. I'm enjoying reading down through this forum.
