Best utv

[saly123]

What’s the best utv on market then.? And fastest on road.?

fastest on the road used to be Polaris. If speed is your main concern, buy a petrol engined one.

not my main concern but would help.

I'd put my money on Kawasaki Krx 1000, i could just barely rate it as an utv and justify it to myself.

What's the opinion of kubota utv's?

Have never dared to use my 570 Can-am flat out on the road yet. It’s twin cylinder Rotax motor takes some beating.

Pretty good so far. Had it 2 years with no problems to date.

I really like the look of the Kubota 1100 rtv with cab and glass doors,heater and radio.

Only disadvantage is they are generally a bit heavier.......but more engineering in them.

My neighbour had a Kubota 900 and it was very slow on all types of terrain but looked stronger built than most. Engine started knocking badly and he swapped for a Polaris about a month ago. It's still a Kubota engine but it's half the noise and twice the speed. Rep told him the can am 800 will do over 60mph( petrol )

If you want a Diesel then the Polaris ranger, if you want a petrol either the Polaris Xp 1000 or the Can Am Traxter HD10. If you are doing lots of road work you will have to keep well on top of maintenance UTVs rnt the cheapest to run when it comes to bearings and bushes etc

Neighbour thought the Polaris was more reasonably priced than some but then realized it comes with bugger all as standard.£12750 but no bumpers,mirrors,doors,hitch,heater,worklights,standard wheels and tyres etc. By the the time everything was added up it would have been £19000+. He soon took a lot off the list again.

I dont know to be honest. we got the latest gator 865 and its always broken down. They are an essential tool for us and we thought having the old 855 as a spare would do.... BUT we had to hire one this lambing early on as both broke down same day, then you guessed it the hire one broke down, to be fair that was a blocked tank filter.
We do work them hard currently we are putting 100miles a day on the 865 but they are not up to the job to be honest.

Forget it and buy a Suzuki Jeep

That would never work with a million miles of rappa wire in the winter. Non auto no good jumping on sheep. and it would be petrol.

My man that repairs my quads said that if I bought a utv he was leaving the country.
That’s what a lot of folks have gone onto. There’s people that convert them into pickups.

 

[TripleSix]

KAP landmaster or similar Jimny conversion.

You can get Jimnys in automatic.
I saw someone doing diesel conversions too.

Polaris. Half the price of the John Deere which is good in its own right but just a stupid price. I reckon somebody pulled that price out of their arse, rather than basing it on factual information.

 

[hally]

One or two around here gone off them ( myself included) around here, basically shite build quality for the price and nowhere as tough as a quad. Maybe ok if you have a nice flat kind Farm but any kind of serious work make sure they are gone by end of warranty. Neighbour always ran Kawasaki mules for many years but has given up on them when the last service was 2k, bought a yam 700 bike instead

Thanks for all feedback. Some things to think about.
