I am in the market for a new or few year's old side by side UTV and am seeking some advice as to which model's to explore in more depth.
I have looked at literature and read some reviews but some of the things I am interested in are not in those sources so.......
My needs are:
* Side by side with bench seat (mobility issues for one of my passengers)
* Gas engine but also want it to be as quiet as possible since one of the uses will be for helping disabled hunters
* Water cooled (for quiet) and EFI for cold weather use.
* 4WD with a low range and diff lock
* Good brakes
* Decent ground clearance to go over rocks, stumps, etc
* Ability to climb steep hills slowly (lots of low-end torque)
* Engine braking of some kind to come down those same steep hills
* Would prefer a gear/drive, HST or something along those lines rather than belt drive but am open on that one.
* Rear dump bed that can handle up to 400 pounds
* Speed is not important at all...5-10MPH is plenty for my purposes...am much more interested in ability to climb and haul.
Thanks!
