    Munro EV Competition for the Tesla Cyber Truck?

    So what are everyone's thoughts on the new Munro EV. Range as standard looks low at 150 miles, but that's plenty for farm work. Only mock ups so far: verses Tesla: Looks like it will be a more rugged, go anywhere type machine. Hope it makes it to market.

    Who can supply and install 4G internet?

    My telephone line broadband isn't good enough to serve my wife who works from home. It's just not stable enough & we are 2 miles of copper from the exchange with no hope of FTTP without doing the work ourselves. It's a farmhouse a mile from the nearest neighbour. No microwave BB providers...

    Quad Bike Running Costs

    Just wondered how people were getting on with repair costs for young quads that aren’t being abused? We’ve always kept them young and avoided expensive repairs, but we’ve had a couple of issues now with bikes at under 2yo. Mostly seem to be suspension rather than drive train or electrics.

    JD Gator or Polaris Ranger.... sorry!

    Without wanting to open a huge can of worms, I need to trade in my ageing Gator for a newer model. Has anyone got any comments (good or bad) on the latest models? We would have full cab, road kit and work it hard off road. Only really looking at the Gator and Ranger because dealers are close...

    Hisun electric utv

    Anybody tried one? I'm guessing its a Chinese offering? Looks very competitively priced, but whether its up to farm work? I see a couple SW dealers selling them. Any other utv/ quad electric options coming ? Isn't there a polaris Ranger in electric- is that available here?

    Which Gator or Buggy?

    We have had a Polaris Ranger for 4 years now but time to move her on. It is the 47hp petrol, which for what we do is ideal. Plenty of power, quick on the road and light on the land. Polaris is alright but not brilliant mechanical build quality - mainly drive shafts. Any suggestions or...

    250cc quads

    Can’t get hold of these anymore due to some emissions regs. Next Honda up is a 420cc 4wd which is less agile, more thirsty and I think more prone to staff getting big/unsafe speeds. We normally replace one of ours every year and now scratching our heads. Mule type things are more money but...
