Buying Advice 1000cc diesel UTV for advice

[Mikeyang]

Hi,everyone.Happy to be in this forum .hope I can get more knowledge and make more friends here. Recently I am thinking of buying a diesel UTV like mini tractor. I am not that professional in the diesel UTV,I buy it for heavy duty.However,my money is limited.At first, I am thinking of buying a polaris ranger or kawasaki mule,but it is a little beyond my budget.yesterday I google diesel UTV I find a chinese diesel utv,farm boss 1000cc diesel UTV,I show pictures for you guys.The price is cheap,but It seems that the chinese vehicle is not that reliable ,Has anyone used this model ？ hope you guys can give me some useful suggestion?Thank you so much!

Hi Mike, Welcome to TBN!

I bought the Kioti Mechron. 900cc and diesel. works great and very powerful. Google it for specs.

 

[Mikeyang]

Thank you for your suggestion.I will check soon.

If you want cheap you will get cheap IMHO.If you want a HEAVY DUTY UTV look no further than the Kubota RTV diesels.They are true work horses.I have a 2006 Kubota RTV diesel with just over 420 hours on the clock.

I don't know squat about UTVs' let me make this clear first. Diesels though I am more familiar with, and would say that just because it is a diesel engine don't assume it is better than gas. Whatever you wind up with make sure you get a good engine regardless whether it is gas or diesel.

Maybe kubota is a good choice,it just confuses me .I need time to think,thank u

What ever you decide to buy, research it very well.
With the interweb, there is no reason to not be able to make a good choice.

Interestingly enough the exact same post has shown up on a number of other forums over the last couple days. Kind of makes me wonder, is the OP really asking about it or is he trying to get lots of posts about it so when a search is done it pops up sooner. Either way I wouldn't buy unless I could see one and knew there was a solid parts network. Also I would want to know if the engine is just a Chinese copy of a Daihatsu. Often the patents expire so anyone can make a copy of the engine. The engine alone isn't a whole UTV. The transmission is just as important, what good is a running engine with no way to move.

My motocross track club has a Bobcat UTV that we lease for the year during our race season. Seems to be a pretty decent piece of equipment.

We had a 2009 Bobcat 2200 with a 3 cylinder Kubota diesel. It was made by Club Car

It had the electric dump bed. Was a heavy duty, well built machine. Put 145 hours on it, no problems.

The newer Bobcat UTV's are made by Polaris. Bobcat 4x4 and 4x2 Utility Vehicles (UTVs) - Performance - Bobcat Company
