UTV's and ATV's general discussion.

That's a neat setup. I wonder how much weight that hoist can reasonably lift given the mounting arrangement on the end of the bed

I can only guess, but seems they built a whole new box for this machine. That's what I'd do.

Getting ready to plant sweet corn/ after tilling with tractor found one pass with a residential lawn roller helps when I'm using my one row 3 pt planter, low pressure atv tires don't leave ruts like my old garden tractors do in light sandy soil.

Spraying again today. Blew a hose while running tank cleaner through it afterward. Luckily Northstar has AMAZING service.

Is this something you need to wear a respirator when spraying?

Probably not a bad idea, but I usually work in low wind and use ultra coarse nozzles for systemic herbicide and to reduce drift.

When in doubt Respirate.

And another good small business bought out and likely to go to ____ in a basket.

I know that you post is over and year old but have never know anyone with a Rokon.
I've wanted one of those for probably 50 years. Ever since that one issue of "popular mechanics" or the other one that I can't remember!
Tell me about it... please.
Not to skip your other cool mobiles.

Lol!

No problem

They are a hoot but for a very specific rider. I loved pulling the sweeper around the yard with it. Part tractor, part atv, part bike. Great for unexplored terrain. Slow and a bit smoky as a 2 stroke.

I’ve owned several and I have moved on to electric dirtbike(s) for my woods exploration as my trails are now more established and I really am enjoying the quiet of the e-bike.

I don't do any work with the Gator but it's great for getting me to where I'm working and running for tools or something else.

Jack's Small Engine wasn't exactly small - their volume was one of the reasons they had good pricing... and they've already gone down hill. It used to be no problem talking with someone who knew their stuff. Good luck with that now.

Planted my last 4 rows of sweet corn today wife and my daughter used atv to haul and place row markers on my hobby operation, it's fitting imo cuz thread title involves an atv and I used my old tractor to plant rows cuz this is a great tractor forum and the only forum I partake in.

Pushing our old empty small covered trailer with atv. Getting trailer ready to use memorial day weekend ,Old Tires only left on from previous pushing project. A 700 Yamaha in 4wd and low gear works great at this in my experience.

I had nothing but trouble with that company last year sending me the wrong part, and it was someone else's return none the less. 5 months to get the correct part, 3 months to get my refund AFTER they received the part I sent back. And, they double charged me, causing me to put in a dispute with the credit card company. Funny how fast issues for resolved at that point.

2023 Kawasaki Mule SX/FI pulling the utility trailer for storm cleanup duty today.

How do you like that Mule SX/FI? I was considering that when I was shopping for a SxS. I wanted a smaller one, since I have a tractor set up for forestry work for the bigger jobs. I ended up with a Honda Pioneer 520, but it was a close choice. I was impressed by the construction and reputation for reliability of the Mule. The two big deciding factors for me were that lack of Kawasaki dealers in my area and the engine braking on the Honda (helpful in our hills).
