So how often do you load your bed to full capacity? I'm not sure what the RTV's are rated for but I know my Gator is rated at 1K....I've loaded it with concrete bags, fence posts, fence, chainsaws, firewood, post diggers and various other junk since I've had to haul around fence lines and it's yet to struggle with anything so far. I've seen a lot of pictures of RTV's that were "loaded heavy" but it is usually firewood that would be lucky to weigh 300 lbs.
The competitors can even do it uphill at more than a snails pace.:shocked:
The RTV900 is rated 1100# bed capacity per Kubota. 1650# payload capacity.
I've had mine fully loaded with a quarter cord of firewood, (4x4x2'), probably an easy 800# for fresh cut wood. Seeing how I was on a hillside (not much else here), I don't want to get top heavy.
