Need utility Side by Side

My next-door neighbor, he’s passed away now, of course, but he had a mule, and he beat the holy dog crap out of it, and I don’t ever remember him ever replacing a belt on it.

He's fortunate that nobody reported him for beating his mule excessively. I've seen the Amish around here getting rough with their horses.

He could go blind!

Anyone have a John Deere 590 here? The gentleman across the road from me put his barely used 2023 out for sale at a fantastic price, and since I have been considering one for a while now I am thinking about grabbing it. I looked at it yesterday and it looks like showroom condition. Windshield, roof, has the bigger tires and wheels, not sure what other optional accessories it has. Would be used for getting firewood from the woodshed, a lot of use during maple syrup season, property maintenance. No trail riding.

Sounds like they use Chery engines in the gas models.

I must admit, I have never heard of chery engines before, but I’ve never really looked at John Deere side-by-sides.

Everything I’ve ever seen about them seemed way overpriced to me.

I see Chery is a Chinese company so that doesn’t garner a lot of respect from me

I don't disagree on anything you said. The only reason I am even considering it is the price for basically a brand new machine, albeit 2 years old.

JD has used a variety of engines and most seemed to have fared well. You could also google "John Deere 590 engine grief" and see what pops up. Me personally, we would get a JD UTV but can't due to our high HP needs..

Yeah did a little bit of googlin' and they seem to be pretty solid engines

I’m assuming they are a clone of someone else’s engine, that seems to be the Chinese way
