Take a look at this TBN thread please. I brought up the Power Trac as a possible good option for the OP's situation, and someone who doesn't understand them is trying to shoot my suggestion down. I've posted links to a few pics, but could use a little help. If you have pics of a PT working in...

Someone posted a thread with links to a repurposed mounting bracket suitable for use with the RTV500 ROPS and possibly other RTV models. It looked ideal for mounting extra lights. I have searched for the thread and can't find it. Could someone who was bright enough to bookmark it (unlike me)...

What follows are my initial impressions after a few hours operation on my new RTV500. I bought the orange worksite base model. I selected the RTV500 almost entirely through a process of eliminating UTVs that did not meet my requirements. I was primed to buy the Kioti Mechron over the Kubota...

I was about to pull the trigger on the Mechron over the RTV500 when I decided to call Kioti USA and ask them directly who now makes the CVT. I had been staring at their brochure, and Kioti's toll free number was right there, and I thought, who better to ask than Kioti themselves? Just about...

The reason for the two year delay in the Kioti Mechron's arrival here has been attributed to their CVT supplier, Hoffco Comet, going belly up in late 2009. However, Kioti's Mechron literature still lists the CVT as a US made Comet model. Does anyone know what the story is? As far as I can...

I'm down to two candidate machines. Of of them is the RTV500. There have been lots of posts saying they are underpowered, which has left me wondering how well they will climb a steep grade, assuming the servo and WOT adjustments are OK. I have been searching for a video showing one of them...

I've test driven two of them and have a few questions for those that own or operate one. Is the loud clunk when the CVT clutch disengages normal? That's what I experienced during a test ride. How about belt squeal? Does it go away eventually, or is it perhaps an adjustment issue? I would hope...

I crossed it off my list after the first couple of hundred feet. The bad vibration reports are accurate. I don't see how time or break-in will make any difference. It's not just rough at idle, the machine flat out vibrates unacceptably at all speeds. Even the seat back vibrates. It does smooth...

Some 4WD UTVs are claimed to switch automatically into 4WD or AWD versus the operator selecting either 2WD or 4WD. In the case of AWD, as claimed by Polaris for their Ranger, I don't know if theirs is any different from 4WD. To me, AWD means either individual wheel motors or three differentials...

Hi, I'm new to the forum. This seems like the best place to get some UTV advice, so I signed up. Instead of posting one long comparison question, I thought it best to post specific queries for the machines I am considering, starting with the RTV500. My property is steep and heavily wooded...
