Ill do it. Really the only thing Id be hauling would be buckets of feed, a couple bags of minerals, and maybe a square bale of hay to take to cows that have just calved. Other than that I wouldnt really be hauling much unless you count my 340 pound butt lol.

I love it thus far. It is loads of fun and convenient. It also doesnt mar up the pasture like the truck did.

Congrats on the new purchase. I bought the Kubota RTV1100 last year and have been very pleased with it. The 1100 has the hydrostatic transmission as well and it has never caused any problems. I have used it for hauling wood, dirt, and feed and it never stops. In high gear it seems to have very little torque for climbing but in low it is unstoppable when loaded. I would not be afraid to buy Kubota again based on this experience.
I'd rather be farming!!!

One of my neighbors bought the same unit this week. He seems to like it fine. Another neighbor has two RTV 900's. They are tough little rigs.

I like it real well thus far. Seems to have ample torque in high or low. I like the fact you can lock the differential with just a lever. Yesterday I had it in 2wd high, I went through a creep and up a muddy bank. The back tire or tires started to try and spin, so I stopped, put the machine in 4wd, switched from high to low, and locked the dif. I barely gave it any gas and that thing walked on up the hill without spinning. My old 4 wheeler would have spun rooster tails all the way up the hill lol.

A UTV is on my wish list.

Right now I have an old golf cart that I hopped up, but it's just not the same.

I would get one, but I'm just to dang cheep. It bothers me that they charge as much for one of them as you can buy a nice full sized used pickup.

I said Id never get one unless they offered them for 0 down and 0% interest. Well they did and I bit.

Hey, park it a weak spot on your lawn and wash it off- good fertilizer.

I would but this thing is on my farm that is five miles away. With all the crazy drivers on these roads around here I will not drive that thing on the road. I already made my mind up about that.

I'd love to have one. They are really nice. I just can't see paying $8,000, when I can go get a used 4x4 Toyota for $2,500. But if anyone want to donate one to me, my address is 123 First street, Anywhere, TN, 12345. :lol:

I have a 1993 jeep cherokee 4x4 I was using around the farm to haul feed. Only problem with vehicles is they mar the ground up and leave tracks when it is wet and muddy. This little 1300 some odd pound machine does not and it has 4x4 to boot.

Yeah if you run a truck or tractor through a field more than once when it's not bone dry, you're gonna have some nice rut shaped ponds by spring.
