    Cultipacker Substitute

    I had also used my 65 hp Massey Ferguson with 4WD and R1 ag tires front and rear.. pulls about 8k lbs... packed real good and plots came in great...but trying to get plots done without so much different equipment. Also stopped discing as it seemed to invite the hogs and they would root the plots...

    Saving Money as Prices Increase

    understood.... but notice I didn't discuss my back-up capability, gas stored... living in Florida, I always have several weeks gas on supply as well as others.

    Intimidator side ×side anyone own one

    Its the same company that makes Spartan mowers (owner was involved in Bad Boy mowers and owns the patents from what I recall)... Christian based company and made in America with the exception of the TGB engine. I had the same experience as you... overlooked when compared the standard makes...

    Saving Money as Prices Increase

    we are about the same as you... but we are looking at starting to car pooling as we only work about 2 miles from each other but our shifts are 30 mins off in afternoon. We have been putting stuff away since C19 started, have 2 large upright freezers full of hog and deer, as well as chicken...

    Cultipacker Substitute

    my food plots tend to be long and narrow... I used a lawn roller but it tore up ... I have been trying to minimize what I take into woods... have real sandy soil so I just broadcast and run over back and forth with UTV... no different than using cultipacker.. just have to move over a tire width...

    UTV Tires

    I changed to the Tusk Terrabites on my Yamaha Rhino from the factory tires after 12 years of use. I did go up in size a little. I got the Terrbites due to tight tread pattern for hard pack and paved roads... they drift in sand real bad which is a lot of what I have on our 5400 acre hunt lease...

    Hisun/Massimo/Bennche UTV

    To me... the Massimo looks like a knock off of the Yamaha Rhino... and I would suspect parts might be interchangeable

    Intimidator side ×side anyone own one

    Don't know where you are at buying... but I have used one that I picked up to replace a Yamaha Rhino that burnt to the ground... love mine and haven't had any problems... I find it hard to believe that someone broke 2 axles as posted by someone else as the axle and suspension is heavier than any...

    UTV - Trying to Decide

    My 2007 Rhino that I loved burned to the ground.. so I was trying to look at replacing it with a Yamaha Viking.. but inventory was non-existent.. which caused some concern about parts. Waited almost a year and when no inventory became available... I started looking at other brands and came...

    Looking for a work capable and light recreational UTV.

    As JamesHW above... I would throw the Intimidator into the mix... except check out the GC1K or the truck version that has fold down bed sides. The bed is electric dump and the suspension is heavier than anything else you will find on the market..the seats are also bolstered and you site higher...

    WHAT ARE YOU USING TO HAUL YOUR UTV

    I bought a GPS steel unit made just down the road in Bainbridge Fl. Well made and lots of nice features... I bought a 2018 Intimidator which was much larger than the 2007 Yamaha Rhino that burned to the ground... so I had to upsize from my 5x10 to a 6x12. Only issue is with the top rail being...

    431 -- Loader and grapple?

    I have a 431 2wd with only 622 hours on it. I'm considering purchasing a FEL and grapple for it... don't anticipate doing a lot of FEL digging, primarily scooping and spreading... but really need a grapple... we have a lot of downed/damaged trees on our 7 acres as well as 2 hunt properties from...

    MF431 Fender Swap

    I have a 431 with the clam-shell style fenders and I was wondering if the square top fenders would swap on? If so, what year would swap over?
