Yep, I love my cj5 with front/rear pto, 3 point hitch, high/low etc. Perfect for the trails, farm and drive to the store.
I considered my neighbor痴 RTV when he wanted out of it but it didn稚 do anything better for me than the jeep minus a dump. Also having a gator at that time I hardly used the dump, more used to 田arry. The things I haul and dump is not just a hand loaded firewood wood or blocks/loam.It would beat the vehicle too much and I prefer to use a trailer that takes the beating, not a 20k++ sheet metal dump on my sold gator or neighbor?s sold rtv. I still have the same room in the back of the jeep as the RTV to carry all the tools, firewood etc I need.
Trailer (not gonna used the loader to drop this typical load in a gator/rtv body)
If I did more surburban/urban property work or maybe had a dedicated dump truck I think the other machines would be awesome.
For well under 10k, the jeep is perfect for me.

Very nice. Someone on the east side of town has one with the trencher attachment. Seen him working it before.

He hasn't aged a day since I joined here and that was a lot longer than 10 years ago. He needs to let us in on his anti-aging secret I'd say. Must have a 'fountain of youth' over in Kalifornia...

If its another Unimog, then the old saying “ whats old is new again “ applies.
Unimogs are probably the most capable Swiss Army knife vehicle ever built, they’ve been around forever. You can do almost anything with one of them.
I don’t think a 4x2 or tracked dump truck is the market Kubota is looking to compete in. I think what is being proposed is an over the road, larger version of the Toolcat with a larger dump bed.
IMO, it would be worth buying IF it could allow me to push a truck AND another piece down the road. If the Kubota all purpose vehicle could allow me to get rid of one tractor, one skid steer, etc AND a 4wd pickup truck, I’d do it.

I really like that Jeep and I’m not a Jeep guy.
Like my driver's license picture? The last time that my license was up for renewal they asked if I wanted them to take a picture, or go with the one on record? I said "I'll go with the one which makes me look 6 years younger." That was in 2015... I'll get a new license next year.
OP
Well yeah, exactly. There are so many applications.
