Kubota RTV is made for this.

I would say the RTV is arguably the best work UTV out there. Others are more of a mix, but the RTV is more toward work than most, not saying you can't still have fun with it. The next best "work" machine would be like a Gator 6x4, but I can tell you from experience, they are slugs, hard to turn and not a fun machine. They are amazing work machines though I think the RTV would be a better mix. (Of course the 6x4 is way less money, but it doesn't have a diesel, cab and all the other fun goodies)

All true...

Well we just replace the engine in a 2005 RTV900 last fall that had 11840.0 hours on it, so I would say dependable :thumbsup:

Well, at least you got SOME use out of it before having to do a major repair.

I have the RTV 900 and I find that it has plenty of power for climbing hills, pulling up small trees even once had to use it to pull start a 750 JD tractor. It had no trouble dragging it with the wheels sliding in Med range. It doesnt have a lot of power in High gear but in Low and Med it works fine. If when climbing a hill and you need more power, just back off the throttle and it will climb better at least on my model. Mine is a 2005 model and I suppose some mods have been done as stated. I like the braking but it does need some getting used to. Mine is a bit hard to shift if you stop on an incline if you dont use the knob to release the pressure on they hydraulics which I understand that issue is now fixed. It is a bit heavy and tends to bog a lot in soft soil, but I havent gotten it stuck yet ( I have the ATV tires on mine) but I dont think the HDWS tires would go well in mud or snow so consider that when purchasing. I think it has the best hydraulics for the dump bed in the industry, however I think the dump bed sides could ust a little better stiffening as mine tend to rattle a bit and require some adjusting occassionally to keep them tight against the lock ( just a hard push on the side to flex them back)

We have a farmers market and use the Kubota 900 and 1100 to Plow, Seed and harvest pumpkins, corn and tomatoes. We also use it to plow snow, when there is snow. We have Kubota 900 and 1100 and a Cushman 1600. We also have had the Bobcat Toolcat and the Toro workman out to the farm for demos.

I'm not going to recommend a specific make, you can probably tell which one I prefer. However, I would strongly recommend hydraulics on whatever machine you choose. Diesel is nice as well. The hydraulics really open up the machines to multiple uses.

Just curious as to why a Company would develop a product(s), manufacture it/them, build a web site to assist in selling it/them and then not price it? Is pricing not fixed? Are prices negotiable if I give you my phone number so a sales person call call me when I'm eating or in the middle of watching an exciting movie? Maybe you have to explain the product to me assuming I won't be able to figure it out after watching your excellent videos. FULL DISCLOSURE????

We don't list prices on our website because we are also being sold in Kubota Dealerships and Online retailers such as Wiedmann.

I would be more than happy to quote anyone a price or answer any questions they have. My email is darren@utvhitchworks.com
