Dealer Fresh from Kubota Dealers Meeting

RaT:

A Kia Rio is cheaper than the Kubota. Not that I'd buy one, I mean a Kia Rio. I wonder if Kubota will come out with a 6x6 like JD has??

I found this site that has manufacturers suggested retail prices for the different models and accessories. Yes, it is a tad expensive, but comparable to the diesel Mule.

Hey Rat our Gator is the same way being cold blooded. Probably because it has a Kawasaki engine. I really like my neighbors Mule. I would buy a 4x4 if I had the money. I would be fun to take the new Kubota and the new Deere and have rally race with them to see which one would hold up the best. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Does Deere have a new one out? The Mule 4x4 has power to all the wheels that can be locked in. We never use it but should it ever be of need it's there. We never use low range either. As a matter of fact, we hardly ever use 4WD. It has a nice big gas tank. Decent brakes. I would say my complaints are the cold blooded aspect and the relative unsmootheness of the drive system. I mean when you press the gas pedal, the start is always something you have to ease in or it wants to really take off. Fine for myself, rough on little kids.
