I never got the “dump bed” thing
Had a gator, neighbor has an RTV1100
A POS rolled 18ga sheet metal or molded plastic “dump bed” functioning mostly as storage is not what a utv makes, for me
Loaded the neighbor’s rtv bed up once with boulders-rocks
1)definitely would never “machine” drop load it
2) bent the living crap out of it, despite being under capacity
3) seemed fine for mulch/sand/firewood or your saws
(And that was a “good” bed.)
I would only consider toolcat or greater (own a tracked dumper for real work)
Too much$ for a wheelbarrow vs a trailer. There is plenty of room to stuff all your tools in many similar vehicles. Imho the “dump bed” is about as valuable as my 3pt tool carrier and not a selling point.
An absolute workhorse on the farm. Have no idea how many loads of material I've hauled and unloaded with a lever pull.
