Go ahead and get the Kubota. I own a '05 Honda Rubicon, just about the strongest thing I have seen for it's size. Have 1150 plus miles on it. All on the plantation,swamps, & woods down here in Louisiana. And would purchase another in a moments notice if something ever happened to it. But, if I am by myself, the Rubicon would do just great. But I have a wife that has just as much hunting stuff as I,and also, I take care of all the deer food plots and do all of the deer management on the plantation. So I had to get something that had more room and hauling capacity. I called Honda Corp., back in January '07, and talked to them about a utility vehicle. The answer was that they don't and may not in the future have a utility vehicle to put on the Honda line of atv/ utv vehicles.He said they have thier reasons. Wouldn't get into that .
I was willing to wait a few years and get the Honda for I told them that I wanted a super tuff machine, with a hydrostatic transmission just like the Rubicon. The answer I got from a Honda engineer, was what I was looking for was only in a Kubota RTV. He give me all the breakdowns of all the utility vehicles avalible, but Kubota was the very one to get, he said they are a little pricey, but worth every nickel of it. Also told me about the meets that they have gone to with all the atv/utv's. And Kubota always was on top. That there sold me on a Kubota RTV 900, and in the middle of Febuary, made the RTV purchase and that is the best investment every made around here !!!! And I am here to tell you, That Thing Is The Stuff !!!!!!!
