ATV info ?

[NSBound]

...I need no more then a 2 seater. a Dump bed would be nice , But I,m not needing to carry anything heavy in it ..... 4 WD would also be nice so We can go around the property when its to muddy or snow on the ground. No need for a cab. Or fancy accesories like a winch or whatever .

Sounds like one these 2009 Big Red - Honda Powersports would work good for you...

I agree alchemysa , Great pics BTW thanks . I dont really need anything fancy , with the 3 tractors I have now & I have a 4wd Jimmy I use to drive around the property I,m pretty well covered .

I just thought if I could trade the forklift for something more usefull , But now I,m thinking about a dump trailer instead . There just dont seem to be any used UTV,s around here . lots of the atvs But those dont really intrest me.


Thanks for the link NSBound . Thats a fine looking rig , but far more then I need & probablly very pricey.

Thanks for the replys though. Bob

First, it is not ATV that you are saying you want to get. According to your description - 4WD, Gas Engine, Dump Bed - what you want is a RUV or UTV. Call Kawasaki, Yamaha, ArtiCat, Honda, John Deere, Kubota, etc. dealers near you and tell them what you want. And ask what's the exact model name that might be for each mfg. Then, look up Craigslist or whatever classified ads for that exact name.

Here are some examples:
Kawasaki makes various size "Mules" (400 cc to 950 cc engine). Their Teryx might be little too much for what you are looking for, but check it out anyway.
Yamaha calls it Rhino, etc.

What is the differnce.
What does RUV stand for?
What does UTV stand for.
I know less about these things than the original poster .

Hi Guys. I hope this is OK to post this here . I have no clue about these types of things . But I see a lot of 4wd type of rigs & need some

1*I Dont need anything fast or fancy & would prefer to just use regular gas in it without mixing oil in it. Like I said , I know nothing about these so sorry if it sounds stupid .
2*4 wd & a dumpbed would be a plus but wouldnt be a that big of a deal one way or the other .

. Bob

1*I'd prefer diesel.
2*I would need 4wd and a dump bed.

The FL is valued around 5 to 8 grand as far as I,ve seen around this area allthough I dont have that in it as I took it in trade & I no longer have a need for it , but a 4 wheeler could be very usefull . I just dont know what to say I want to trade for if that makes any sense . Just something I could use around the property more then the FL .

4 wd & a dumpbed would be a plus but wouldnt be a that big of a deal one way or the other .

I,d apreciate any input as to what I should be looking to trade for . As long as it has no Mechanical issues I wouldn,t care if it was WELL used . I know these are very Pricey so I dont want to ask for to much. just a fair & equall trade. Thanks . Bob

Bob, $5k-$8k is a pretty broad range. I think you need to nail down what you are willing to take for your Hyster a little closer than that. When you talk about UTVs, it can mean everything from an electric golf cart for $1k-$2k on up to a Bobcat Toolcat for $30k. A well known brand like Kawasaki, Kubota, Yahama, and John Deere are going to maintain their value longer than say an EZ-Go, or another lesser known brand. Like many other things, you have to find something and then do your homework. You sure don't want to trade a $8k Hyster for a $1.5k golf cart.

I think you could find a JD Gator, Kawasaki Mule, or Kubota RTV 900 that might fit your needs. If you stay with one of these, you can find tons of aftermarket products to dress them any way you want. For example, our 2004 Kawasaki Mule has 500 hours. It has an addon windshield, roof, and hydraulic dump bed. The cost of the Mule new was about $9,500. It's probably worth around $6k today because it's in great shape. You'd expect a 5-yr old RTV 900 to be in the same price range, maybe $7k since they sell for a little more.

Why don't you look around and see what you can find and run it by this forum. You'll get plenty of advice on specific models of UTV. My advice would be to try and sell your Hyster outright. Trying to find somebody who has just the UTV you want and needs a Hyster would challenge anyone in any market.
