- 22 SANY SY 50U, '10 Kioti DK 40se/hst KL-401 FEL, loaded tires, KB-2485 bhoe, Tuffline TB160 BB, Woods QA forks, MIE Hydraulic bhoe thumb & ripper tooth, Igland 4001 winch, & GR-20 Log Grapple. Woods BBX72" Brush Mower. Diamondplate aluminum canopy
Looking for a Mechron diesel UTV, and my dealer has two, 2016 leftovers, both for $12,100, down from $14,xxx. They're both floor model leftovers, one has a canopy, and one has worksite tires, the other has AG type.
Wondering what anyone thinks about the price and quality; have prior issues with the CVT transmission and any other earlier year bugs been worked out, or are there any major issues with them?
I'm not knowledgeable about UTV's by any means, but have been reading up on them recently.
I read and see videos about engine braking, CVT sheave/clutch issues and various other things I'm curious about.
The Mechron would be big step up for me from a Suzuki King Quad 450 ATV, with tow behind 2 wheel wagon.
I don't need an all the bells and whistles with huge price tag UTV, just something to haul bed sized loads, pull a 'flex axles' trailer on the rear receiver, and maybe do plowing? Not even sure it will take a plow? And possibly a rear receiver sander?
Think I will keep the ATV and do private sale later.
Like my dealer; he's close by, has sold me 2 Kioti tractors, is product knowledgeable, and has been in business forever, but is small town and friendly, all good things.
Would look around at other brands, possibly Yami and Kawi, but not Deere or Kubota. This is just personal preference, price and brand consciousness and loyalty. NOT slamming the brands I don't want to look at/buy, just expressing my preferences.
Any thoughts, feedback from current owners, other potential current buyers, are much appreciated. :thumbsup:
Thanks,
CM
