Farm UTV's.....Mule or Ranger...or other?

   / Farm UTV's.....Mule or Ranger...or other? #71  
The lady and I a year ago bought a Ranger 570 for our ranch work. We did not need the larger motors because we have no need to go fast on our property since we have several creek beds and trails through out. We love it, down side is for how much you spend you dont get a roof, my parents have a gator and it came with a roof when they bought it. *know on wood* our ranger has been a great machine and we love it.

An old used jeep would more than foot the bill and would cost thousands less

An old used Jeep that started in -10 weather, had a big hydraulic dump bed, rode soft like a Cadillac over ruts and rocks, walked over rather large irregularities while never jerking, swaying or showing you drama and was dead reliable for a decade or more.... Sign me up!

I have a Jeep Wrangler and a Kubota RTV900, love them both but each has it’s place and job.

I have a Jeep Wrangler, mildly modified .

I wouldn't take it where I take my UTV. I wouldn't load it with the wood and gravel that I would my UTV. IMG_1169.JPGIMG_1167.JPG20181009_184115.jpeg

With the exception of the dump bed, it's no contest.

A $20K Jeep will pull a trailer hauling a UTV thru terrain that the UTV can only dream of. With the AC on. Listening to the stereo. :)

Be wary of justifying a UTV against a $15K Jeep. Or several other similar vehicles. :)

You aren't really claiming your Mule will do that are you? Really? I think you forgot the winky emoji. ��
Absolutely not, my Jeep is a purpose-built rock crawler for high-speed rock. but while my Jeep is able to do things that my mule can't do, I have no doubt that there are many things that my mule can do that my Jeep is a horrible vehicle to try to force to do those things.

Barring width restrictions, your Jeep will go places in 2wd open rear that your UTV won't go in 4wd.

Actually, barring width restrictions I can't think of a single place the UTV can go that the Jeep can't. :)

As for hauling a load. Your Jeep will haul your UTV. And minus the dump function will haul more wood.
