Well, Priced the Kubota. Over $10,500 diesel only. Hydro for braking would be nice as would power steering, but still like the Gator HPX. $7500 including $1000 off for demo model. Still feel like I made the right decision. Dump kit for the Kubota $1300 Gator = $950, don't need it but still makes me feel good to have bought GREEN. Not to mention the Gator looks better! :

Engineer,

We drive this in the woods every day! AM/FM/6 disc CD changer, AC, heated leather seats, seats seven with room for saws/supplies in the back. What more could you want ;D.

I looked at the Kubota RTV900 when they first came out and agree they are nice machines, but without some after market armoring they should be kept on maintained trails. There are too many important things within the reach of a stray stick.

Take care,

Cary

For those interested, I found a cool website for UTV's as the Gators, RTV Kubota, and Mules and such are called. They have some nice products that are not available anywhere else. It is www.hunterworks.com

Reid,

Price was in line with what you found out! I added the winch and top, and should have chosen the mud tires rather than the standard ones, which would not have increased the price any. They are a little pricey, but I wanted the diesel because I buy diesel fuel in large quantities for my other equipment and I like the additional power at low rpm.

With the winch, top and tax, mine was 11,500 out the door. (Yep, I paid the taxes because I don't derive any income from farming, so I did not take the tax exempt clause. :() The Mule, XRT 1500, and Gators I looked at, comparably equiped were about the same money. The worksite model I chose has the hydraulic dump and power steering included as standard, though I'm sure included in the base price somewhere :D

Nice link I'll pass it on to the Father-in-law he has been making noise about wanting a winch for the afore mentioned gator.
