new holland rustler utv's any thoughts

[jdbnh]

just wondering if any of you have seen or bought a new holland rustler...utv?

I looked at them when you posted this. I have no personal experience with them, but they look a good deal like a Bobcat or Husk-q. The features and specs seem on par with most of the work-related UTV's out there; they have a good warranty. It seems they are a little low on power and I would have some question about a UTV with a Vanguard gas engine spec'd as the stock gasoline powerplant, not too good.

Don't know if NH has more than one model but the dealer had on and it was a diesel. Looked like a well built machine.

I test drove a Rustler about 5 mos ago but don't remember the model. It was constructed of aluminum, had a smooth clutch and looked very sturdy. You had to depress the brake pedal very hard when going down a steep hill or when stopping quickly. I think top speed was around 25 mph.
Don't remember the price. I wound up getting a new Polaris Ranger 800 XP/LE for quite a bit less money and the Ranger suited me better for what I use it for.

Yes, they do offer a diesel but it appears to only be 20 hp. Most of the competitive models have at least 23. Not much difference but one can feel it. I had an HPX Gator with 20 and upgrading to an XUV with 25 was a big improvement in power.
