    Just yesterday one of my buddies was complaining about their kabotas, I don't have any experience with them.

    We have two kubotas 900 diesels, and they are ****ing awesome. Not very fast but will pull anything, have 4x4, and a large hydraulic tilt bed. We have had one of them for about 10 years, and the other one for about 3. The only issue we have is that sometimes the radiator gets clogged with dust and debris from driving through pastures. One of my little cousins didnt know about this or to look at the temp guage so he overheated the old one and we had to get the motor replaced. That was 4 years ago and it is still kicking ass.

    So it's like a tiny tractor with less uses and terrible resale.

    Yes, have you seen what has been selling and or what cash will buy? Also the resale was my friends major gripe. I'm sure if you are in the market he will make you a good deal.

    No. Not at all. We use them as little ranch trucks. Haul dirt and other **** in the bed, check fence, etc. they go anywhere a truck can't. You rode in one with me when you came down and seemed really impressed with it. Don't know who slipped you the haterade.

    We purchased two of these 4wd ranger xps about two years ago and I love them. I can load one in the bed of the pickup and run it all day off the same tank of gas. Except for ripping tires on sapling mesquites and hackberrys I haven't had any problems with them. They can drive down creek beds and wetland areas where there is no way I could take a truck. Plus they are lighter and have a smaller footprint so they don't rip up the ground as much and I don't get yelled at by landowners.

    I had to use others, but you don't have to justify your utvs to me. I'm sure kabota makes the most workable utv out there, but I would rather be in a $2500 4wd ford ranger with ac


    Edit - my wife is wanting a rzr or maverick... I'm not sure what that says about utvs

    Don't get me wrong utvs can be pretty great, just like a new diesel truck with big fancy tow mirrors.

    We have been murdering the pigs in matagorda and Wharton county using utvs.

    Can't wait for Honda to catch up on the utv market. I bet they'll make a rzr killer that's not a piece within the next couple of years.

    Do YOU know what they are selling for?

    I do think they should not be confused with a mini tractor. Plenty of good uses.

    Tate needs Mules or Kubotas. SxSs are not cheap. Even 8k for a new 2wd Mule doesn't sound that absurd. Poloaris has like 13k 4wheelers out now I think.

    If your buddy is not buying a SxS because of resale value, he probably doesn't need to be buying one.

    Compared to tractors or other similar equipment resale is terrible, I don't think many will argue that? Sure low hour rzr's can fetch a pretty penny but try to sell something with 1000 hours. My buddy buys millions of dollars of equipment, but that doesn't mean he wants to throw his money away.

    I picked up this little guy about 2 weeks ago, 2007 Mule 610 4x4, 150 hours, paid 3900. ITP 589 tires and aftermarket rims. Has a crappy harbor freight 2000 lbs winch that does nothing. Owned by a 67 year old man, so it has not been "down southed". While I will agree it is not a Polaris ranger, I have been happy with it so far.
