How's This For An ATV?

Got to play with this today! I thought it was Kubota powered like the Sherp brand, but it has a Cat (which may likely still be a Kubota painted yellow like their mini-ex's and CTL's.

Just saw that since Argo bought Sherp they no longer use Kubota power. So guess I'd want a Fat truck, LOL

Cool concept, way over priced.

Yes they sure are, LOL

When the Sherp first came out it was $80,000. Now they are $145,000.....and there is nothing to them.

I thought the Cat mini-ex's were Mitsubishi.

these are sick ... a guy in our town has one and he manage to still get it stuck in the swamp iI though it was impossible but if there isn't enough water to float they can get stuck ... was this one hydro or chain driven ?

There is a Sherp for sale in town. 8 hours on it. They want $199,450.00


i think it will be on the lot for some time

Mine is too. Someone is either misinformed or doesn't know.

Maybe not all models or years, but many are Kubota engines painted yellow. I was surprised by this considering Cat own Perkins.
The medium size excavators are all Mitsubishi's. Even my 330GC came from Japan.

$199,000!! Hahahaha.....they can keep that.

From the article I had read a while back:
An interesting element of this year's launch of new products from Caterpillar's Building Construction Products (BCP) division is the use of Cat-branded, Kubota-built engines in the new D-Series skid steer loaders and compact track loaders and E-Series excavators.

Fat Truck vs Sherp

Fat Truck vs Sherp

That was another thing I heard. Last winter, another contractor working at our mine had a Sherp and the guys said they froze to death in it. None of them thought it was a pleasurable ride in the winter.

Ok, I get it now. You meant engines only. Your original post led me to believe the entire machine. Actually, I'm kinda surprised that EMD and most MTU engines aren't painted yellow.

Ya, sorry, I meant just engine. I knew the machine itself wasn't Kubota.
Though isn't it funny the Cat mini wheel loaders look an awful lot like the Kubota R630/R640's? I always wondered if there were any ideas shared there?
