Best UTV for Leg Room?

You can purchase a extended warranty through deere for up to 3 yrs full coverage for about $280.00, that is cheap insurance for a $12k gator. Also the yanmar diesel engine is proven reliability and very easy on fuel.:thumbsup:

JD's warranty extension price is well worth it. New Holland offers a 24 month/2,000 mile standard warranty and Polaris is only 6 months. Pretty chintzy of Polaris, if you ask me. Not getting a full year warranty cycle out of a piece of year-round mobile equipment is a big negatory. Hard to fathom as Polaris is not known for making four-wheeler junk.

I was worried about the 6 month warranty with the Polaris also, but my dealer said since the 500 has been around for so long not to even worry about the ext. warranty. So far he was wright.

Not so sure I'd agree Deere's extended warranty is well worth it. I would agree it is reasonably priced, but we had only one issue with the parking brake, and it was covered under the 2 year warranty. I think the XUV 850D is so well built that you don't need to extend the warranty. We're up to 250 hours on our 2008. Perhaps other models don't have the same reliability but I think JD knows enough not to loose money on extended warranties.

The original factory warranty from Deere on the gators is 1yr.

Interesting you say that because my dealer said TWO and stood by TWO.
Whatever.
The only issue was the parking brake, an inexpensive part.

You may want to consider a Can-am (BRP) Commander. I had a 2004 Rhino since new. Put 8K miles on it and never had any problems. Started looking for something new and considered the RZR, Rhino, Artic Cat..... After taking a close look and test drives I found the Commander to be the most powerful and comfortable. Its fit and finish are way above and beyond any of the others mentioned. I have only put 5 hours/50 miles on it so time will tell if it stands up to my demands like the rhino did.

ok 4papa, what did you get, I was going to suggest the cub cadet volunteer, the seat is adjustable and can be set back pretty far.

Still UTV-less, and now that we're dealing with ice-covered fields, will probably have to wait until spring. So, the Cub Cadet Volunteer can get a look. I also have a CC dealer within 10 miles, hopefully they'll have the Volunteer. Still trying to track down a New Holland Rustler with the 13-way bucket seat option. Closest dealer with one in stock was four states over in PA. Would like to get there before I pull the trigger.

Kioti Mechron is a strong machine and very reasonably priced for a diesel, @ upper 10's for a base unit. 1 yr. warr..
