The ultimate fence building rig. These little farm trucks are sure nice but dang their high.

What do you think the price range is?
The web site gives a blurb about "each dealer is empowered to establish their own pricing..."

Great, I want a dealer that is empowered and thrilled to sell and service one to me between 5 and 10k.

Yes, very cool UV but you better have a FAT wallet to get it. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Did y'all notice it has a Kubota engine (?). /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: Here\'s the the real ultimate utility vehicle

Richard, I saw one of the Bobcat units at a garden show over the weekend and it looked like heaps o'fun. That one actually had an FEL setup on the front; although the bucket was small compared to one on a tractor, it would still be a big help in places you can't get the tractor to. The four-wheel steering looks like a great idea, too--turning radius is definitely an issue on the RTV, Ranger, etc. On the other hand . . . $30k+!! /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif (and it still ain't a Unimog)

Re: Here\'s the the real ultimate utility vehicle

No doubt, it is awesome. The problem is, in my opinion, I'd either have to be independently wealthy or have a commercial use for it so it could pay for itself. Unfortunately I'm neither independently wealthy nor do I have a business in which I could employ this vehicle. For those who fit into those two catagories though.... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif, I'm sure they have a great ride!

Re: Here\'s the the real ultimate utility vehicle

Have you seen any of these units. They might not be quite as good as a TOOLCAT but they do look to be a longshot better than the offerings from Deere, Kubota, Cub, etc.
