UTV, I'm afraid to ask but ....here goes

No matter what the name, this thing sounds impressive.

22HP diesel, 1600lb payload, 56" wide bed, MacPherson struts up front, Dual-A arms with adjustable coil springs in the rear, and 12" of ground clearance.
KIOTI Introduces New Line of UTVs for Work or for Play

That puts it right in line with the Kubota RTV 900.

Sounds like one of the "Transformers" to me...

That's the first thing I thought of too when I read it.
With my best deep robot voice - "MEGA-TRON"

The Mechron is some type of animal or legendary large animal, I guess in keeping with the "KIOTI" tradition.

thanks bluechip. It does sound like a great little machine. I know I sure am interested in one and have been thinking it would make a good compliment to the new CK30 HST we have.

Allow me say the name Mechron vis not a familiar term (maybe it is a gamer's term) and it sure won't pop up on Google; which is some of indicator of note on the general population/USA consumer's awareness of the "Legend of Mechron".

If it is an awesome legendary fierce beast-then I get that-but the UTV is first and the legend of the animal is second...so why that name? Am I the first to question the wisdom of choosing this name?

When you hear someone say the term Mechron, depending on how it is said-it could be mech-Ron (Mechanic-Ron) or even worse MECH'RON or "Mc' Ron". Im sure the the competition will go with the later; as in "Do you want a Mc' Ron with your happy meal?"

Man I wish they would have polled us on a name for this thing! Sounds like the kid of the bosses boss named it Ha Ha... .

I sure am anxious to check out the Kioti UTV. I'll call mine a K-U-T-V

My Kioti dealer has a great big ole' picture of the new machine on his site that he took at the dealer's meeting. He is not a sponser here but he is the only Kioti Dealer in Carson City. NV.-FYI

Many dealers had similar questions at the dealer meeting. Cub Cadet calls theirs a "Volunteer" I guess that works in Tennessee pretty well. The name has sort of grown on me a little bit but it is a real nice unit regarless of what you call it.
