Need utility Side by Side

[zzvyb6]

I was asking about the golf cart?

Sorry, the fellow wanting a power outage enunciator.

My battery electric is an Advanced-EV model.

I have the Pioneer 700. It's a tank and workhorse, but not a speed demon. I use it almost every day on our farm.

Hello all,

So, I really could use a utility side by side for around my 8 acres. Mainly for fence repair, general maintenance, irrigation repairs and target setting out to my 200 yard range. And of course some trail riding while camping. I am looking at five different machines. Most are three seaters. No need for a six seater. Here they are not listed in any particular order;

1 CFMoto UForce U10 Pro
2 Kawasaki Ridge/Ranch Edition
3 Polaris Range 1000
4 Honda Pioneer 1000-5
5 Can Am Defender X MR

I know there are others on the market. I was really interested in a Massimo T-Boss 1000, but they are not available in Kalifornia. My main focus here is ease of service, riding comfort and durability. So, if you happen to have one of these machines, can you kindly chime in as to what you do and don't like about it. I have ridden in a Honda Pioneer before and it was a great machine. I kicked the tires on a Kawasaki Ridge and it looks like a great machine, but getting to the air filter looks like a pain in the rear. I have yet to sit in any of the other three. Mainly because there are none on dealer floors in the Stockton area. I really want to look at the CFMoto. A Tracy dealer is expecting some in early May.

Ok, thanks guys/gals. B.

Not sure where the first one is made so would be reluctant to go that route. You know the last four are going to be reliable units with good parts availability. We got a Polaris XP1000 and love it. I think it boils down to what features each model offers you.

Durability, longevity and a real work horse, you missed the most obvious. Kubota RTV 900. It will outwork any of the others. It’s not a speed demon but it can outhaul, outpull and outlive your listed choices.

My Polaris Ranger is 13 years old and has been an outstanding piece of equipment. Low maintenance, smooth riding, and reliable. Best vehicle I’ve owned, although my 1991 Suzuki Sidekick is running a close second.

The RTV 900 has been replaced by the RTV-X, either 2 seat with cab or 2 and 4 seat versions without cab. There are 3 different levels of trim.

My friend has owned both new and when he bought the RTV-X we bought his RTV 900

He liked the 900 but loves the improved X for comfort…

I liked it too but not enough to pay the going freight to make an X mine.

I went with Kawasaki for my place because I wanted it to be reliable and the ability to get parts. Some of the brands you listed should also be easy to find parts for them, but I'm not sure of all of them. What's interesting to me is how quickly something you buy is all of a sudden ten years old!!!

If I was to buy again today, I might consider a golf cart over the Kawasaki just

I have the Mule 610 and it has been very reliable and is a tough machine, it is pretty cold in the winter time where I live so I have 2 batteries so it will always start without having to use a trickle charger. I use mine mainly the way you use yours, I am sure they are others more comfortable, but is something happened to mine I would get another one..

Do not even consider a Massimo, Axis or whatever they are calling themselves lately. I have a Kubota RTX850 for my 310 acres and it gets used hard, no issues.

I have eliminated Massimo-Axis-Cub Cadet-Etc. from my list. I reached out to Massimo twice by e-mail for information on California models and never got a response. When I tried calling their sales line, I was on hold forever and finally hung up. Big turn off. B.
