chick,

Welcome to TBN!!
Can you further define for us your off road environment?
The RTV does very well on hard-pack surfaces and with the right tires can do half-way decent in "some" mud.
Probably the biggest issue with the RTV in more extreme terrain (mud, ditches...) is its shear weight.
What other uses would you have for a RUV?

I WILL BE GOING DOWN FIRE ROADS LOSE GRAVE, DOWN BY THE RIVER THERE SOME MUD, GRAVEL BEDS, AND SOME SAND BEDS, THERES A LITTLE BIT OF ALL KINDS OF OFF ROAD. I KNOW I WILL HAVE TO PUT DIFFERANT TIRES ON IT.
WITH ALL THE TORQUE FROM THE DIESEL ENGINIE AND TRANS.
AND THE RIGHT SET OF TIRES, YOU THINK IT WOULD HANDLE A FAIR AMOUNT OF OFF ROAD TERRAIN.
KUBOTA MAKE THE RVT 900 RECREATIONAL UNIT MADE FOR HHUNTING, AND STATES AT ITS A GO ANY WHERE UNIT, DO ANY THING. BUT DOES NOT STATE WHAT KINE OF OFF ROAD CONDISTIONS IT WILL HANDLE. ANY INFORMATRION YOU CAN GIVE ME WILL BE HELP FULL. I LOOK AT THE POLARIS
UNITS I KNOW THEY WILL GO ANY WERE. BUT I WOULD LOVE TO GET THE RTV900 IF IT WILL GO OFF ROAD.

chick,

Wasn't sure about the RTV in my terrain prior to purchasing.
The local brought out a demo and let me take it where I needed. Since it did (make it), I bought it. You may want to talk to a dealer about bringing out a rec. version for you to try.

Welcome to the forum, Clarence, and your posts will be a lot easier to read if you turn off the CAPS lock.

I CANT BELIVE THERE IS NOT ONE RTV OWNER ON HERE THAT HAS NOT TRY HIS RTV OFF ROADING FOR FISHING OR HUNTING. SOME ONE MUST KNOW HOW THE RTV HANDELS OFF ROAD, IN THE MUD, GRAVLE, SAND, FIRE ROADS ECT.????? THE DEALERS CANT EVEN GIVE ME AN STRIGHT ANSWER???????????????????????????
