Kubota just came out with a new gasser UTV. Reading the stats it sounds impressive with the dump box engine braking etc. Listing around 14,600. Any thoughts??

I like it, looks to try to get into the sport crossover market with Polaris and JD. Smart move using a CVT transmission for performance.

Interesting. I wish their diesel versions weren’t dogs. We have two and they are ultra reliable and we work the snot out of them but they have little power. We were working In a hilly area last week and they had to be pulled up hills in about ten different places. I made it up all ten of those spots on a Honda foreman Atv. I am pretty sure a ranger would have climbed them. Our problem with any UTV with a belt is the belts break often. Our kubotas have never broke down and we run them a lot. The two of them got over 60 hrs each on them last week. They just can’t go through much terrain. I wonder if this Kubota belt will be any better.

I also prefer diesel. Much easier for us to transport and they use so little of it. We only have to fill them up every three days and that is running them all day long. Gas units we have tried need fuel every day.
