Selling me on UTV's...
Don't forget, America is about 50 years behind Europe, so take pity on us.I use mine all the time as long as I have the tractor at home. Mine is a slightly different style from the ones you have there and it's technically called link box.
I bought it used, needing some sheet metal work on the bottom corners for around $120. Got that fixed and recently gave it a nice paint job. It can dump, tailgate can flip down like a pickup truck, flip up like a dump truck for dumping purposes or simply removed and out of the way. It also has a cutting edge to scrape loose materials. It also provides a nice and fairly compact counter weight for loader work once loaded, which can be simply done by reversing to a pile of loose material.
It gets often loaded with 1300+ lbs of firewood with the tailgate down. I've used to move concrete tubes and rings, sand, gravel, half filled 200 GAL IBC tanks, all kinds of stuff really. Before I bought a pick up truck, I used to take the tractor with the box attached to the local feed store to get feed and small square bales for the chickens, ducks and goats.
I could easily sell it for $300+ at the moment, but as someone said before, once I sell it, it'll be when I'll need it the most.
Don't really have a good pictures of it unfortunately, so here's a couple from the manufacturer.

I have previously posted on TBN that I farmed up to 3000+ acres with another 2000 share farmed in several countries and never had the need for a FEL, briefly owning one in the late 1970s, but a link box was essential on all of them - the last 18 years in Portugal (until I retired 2 years ago) where I had exactly the same box as the photo.I use mine all the time as long as I have the tractor at home.
