Ha, maybe you’ve got better roads/drivers around your way!
Maybe! Or im too busy looking over hedges to go fast enough
Haven't seen any here. Do you run one? Are they much better than Polaris or john Deere gator? I presume at 62hp you can outrun cattle or sheep.
At last, a farm vehicle actually designed and speced by somebody practical

the problem I see is that the use struggles to justify the expense

Very interesting. But it'll depend if it's built upto the job or not...
What price are we talking?
I do agree, though... when you see a Ranger at £14k broken before it's a year old

Actually looks sturdy although weight may be a problem, wish bones look easily reproducable and many components sourced from cars so SH parts should not be a problem..
Pity they have gone for so much electrics such as the common rail fuel and electric diff lock and four wheel drive engagement, none of which have proved ideal in a farm environment

True, but do you remember the Diablo diesel bike? - heap of scrap which fell to bits, but built with 'off the shelf' ford fiesta parts (bearings, bushes etc) and was sold as having durable and easy to replace parts...
yes, but this looks better and not using ford parts will be a big advantage. the big failure points such as bearings, brakes , drive shafts look to have been addressed.
The one that dissappeared that surprised me was the simple Scottish one that i forget the name of. Just shows that bling markets better than practicality

Our utv has died. Mainly used for fencing sheep. Has anyone come up with a way of mounting a Rappa system off the side of a Jimny? Other option is put the rappa on a trailer or go back to a quad?
