My beloved wife of 38 years is losing her mind. We passed by a UTV dealship on Friday and she asked if did not want to stop and check them, the UTV's, out. She said I probably needed one. Well of course I stopped, if only to dial 911, poor thing. But turns out she was serious.

My question is what is the best one? We looked at the Kawaski (sp) 4010 in camo w/ the fuel injection and power steering, 4X4 which was mighty sweet @ $9500. However, I know nothing, so y'all learn me something here, what's the best and at what $'s!




Thanks and Gig'em Mark A. Fairchild

damn women, they fool us everytime!

I would look long and hard at the Kubota's, but they are mighty expensive. Next for me would be the polaris', with the kawasaki's right with them.

I've owned two Kawasaki motor cycles and I'll never own another one (unless it's free)

That's all I know about the subject.

If you want something to do chores don't get a 4 wheeler. Waste of money. Get something like a Polaris Ranger or a Mule or what we got is called a Trekker made by Land Pride. It's got a Honda engine in it. No problems with is and it was a little cheaper than the Polaris. Comfortable ride and a dump bed. I use it on the farm all the time.

Check out the ChuckWagons, too. Dunno about other dealers, but Mike Haven at
http://www.mphcycles.com/Bristers/Brister%27s.html
has them. I've known Mike for years, and he's a straight shooter. Wouldn't take my motorcycles to anyone else for service.

Standard disclaimer applies: I get no kickback from MPH. Just want to send business to a great bunch of folks. Mention my name, and he'll likely up the price 10%! (just kidding)

Yamaha rhino 4x4, so much more practical than the quads I've been on.

Good luck, just be weary, she prolly has some other intentions, what's she gonna want in the near future.

I have a Grizzly 4 wheeler. When I do chores, I have a 4x8 garden trailer with a 1100 pound rating I pull behind it. Lots of things you can do with a 4 wheeler and a trailer that can be disconnected.

Recently a outfit in Hockley had the Bush Hog UTV on sale for $6500, and it looked sweet. I checked the specs..24hp Honda, 4-wheel independent suspension, 4wd, dump bed, and more. If I didn't have my Polaris Ranger, it certainly would have received a test drive.
The UTV's are so over-priced it hurts, but they are good for what they're designed for.

Don't think just act before she changes her mind. Most change their mind like we change our socks.

I don't know about the Polaris Rangers but I just sold my Polaris 330 ATP and bought a Yamaha Rhino. That Polaris was the hardest starting, coldest natured engine I have ever owned and I will never buy another Polaris product.
Though I have only had it a few weeks, so far I love the Rhino.

I love my Rhino 660 and have never had an ounce of trouble out of it. I know that Polaris made quite a few changes on the 09 model to try and compete with the yamaha. If it were me I would look at both of the yamaha and polaris.
