yamaha rhino

[Tul01]

We were looking at buying a newer quad to pull the trailer around and do some work in the yard. Where we dump stuff its kind of swampy until mid summer so I'm leaning towards maybe a rhino, also I really need to be able to drive right into the pickup bed for hunting etc where trailering is not an option. I've seen some video of the 450 which I think would be adequate for our needs, I'm not sure if I can justify the extra $2000 for the 700. I have a buddy with the 450 Kodiak and it has been bulletproof for him. Has anyone out there been able to do some direct comparisons, the local dealer here only has a 700.
thanks

There are a few other UTV's narrow enough to fit in the bed of the pickup. I know Bush Hog has one and I would think a few of the smaller two person machines should fit. It will give you more options to look at and compare to find the best machine and price for your needs.

I love the Rhino, but it is rough on the lawn.

my dad has a bone stock 450 rhino and loves it. runs over 40mph i think it would go faster but the limiter shuts it down around 40 plenty of power for trail riding

KUBOTA SUPPOSE TO COMING OUT WITH A SMALLER RTV, GAS BURNER , THINK IT MIGHT GO IN THE BACK OF A TRUCK ALSO ~~~~~~~

I thought the RTV 500 was already out? Maybe I was confused as I haven't been looking at the smaller units too much.

I am with him, the rhino will smoke your yard - it needs a rear diff unlock
