I'm laughing because I was in the same situation, I have bx25 and needed a WORK utility vehicle, not a glorified golf cart. I'm fourtunate that I was able to test many of the UTV, out there. In the end I purchased the kubota 900 UTV with the hydraulic dump bed. If you plan on using your UTV as a real and I mean real UTV then the market narrows drastically. When I fill the back of my 900 with 3 scoops of my bx of solid rocks and have my 11 year old drive them down the hill to dump all of my Polaris/mule neighbors stare in awe.

It's like comparing a ford 150 to a diesel F250, again im foutuate to be able to afford any of them and the rtv900 with hydraulic dump was the clear workhorse, not a flashy fast ATF with a plastic bed.

To summarize... And this is true! When I called the local polaris dealer to see if they sold a snowplow to fit my 900, he said I'll sell you one but I'm afraid you will get to aggressive and will snap the plow off and drive over it.

The OP's question was that he was looking for something that had speed, light hauling power and tool transport. He did not say he needed a work vehicle. It is fine that you are suggesting that your bx25 is a nice vehicle but IMHO there is no need to slam the other posters who suggested the UTV's to match what the OP was asking for by calling them glorified golf carts. Those of us who have the glorified golf carts have them for the same reason that the OP wants one, for a combination of light work and play. The OP has a tractor to do the work.
