I like them, but I'd rather spend 1/3rd as much as they cost and buy a decent Jeep or Samuari.......with a lift.....and it'd be street legal......
I know! I bought a snowmobile from a guy up the mountain, he's a playboy who buys things at a high price on a whim, and sells them for a low price. I heard he had a "deal" on a Polaris Razr, so I went and checked it out. Turns out it was a very low mileage 4 seater, one wicked-azz machine, but he wanted almost 14 grand for it, used!! No Friggin Way! That thing is almost as big as a CJ, I'd rather have a jeep for a fraction of the price and be able to drive it from point A to point B, legally!I agree. While they are pretty cool, they seem to be an awful lot of money for a limited use vehicle.
Looks like a nice unit, how long before it's at your house?

Looks like a fun ride. Have you heard if there going to add some speed to the diesel?

On our property I'll take the Rhino, perfect fit for the smaller trails heading up the hills or down!I wish! (Actually would rather have an XUV i825 but that's just me being picky! ) Definitely not in the budget now or the near future. Actually I'm not sure what would be more expensive, the Gator or the divorce.
I doubt it since the XUV's and HPX Gators are still very work oriented. The XUV i825 (3 cyl suzuki gas) is still my "best of both worlds" pick. 1200lb payload and 45 MPH in a very capable, durable vehicle. 30 MPH (top speed for the diesel XUV i850) is still the fastest diesel in the biz to the best of my knowledge.
As for you guys and your Jeeps, I'll race you up the trails and across the fields anytime. I'm sure the ride in those Cj's is less than desireable once you get over 30 MPH. Last one back to the stacks buys the beer.
Alright...i like diesel as much as the next guy but i don't see the appeal of a diesel side by side....at least not for the extra coin. My uncle has a 400cc gas mule and it has plenty o'torque. On a vehicle under a thousand pounds you are gonna run out of traction before you run out of power. There are probably a handful of people who would benefit from the longevity of a diesel, but a couple rebuilds would still be cheaper.
If i could hear a turbo whine and blow off...and roll a little coal...I'd be all in.
The reason I have a diesel is that I don't have to haul fuel. If I didn't have a tank at my house to fill out of then gas would be the way to go.

We have a deisel Kubota RTV 1100 at work. Not impressed with it at all.
Hydrostatic braking will nearly throw you through the windshield.
It won't navigate any incline over 20deg without losing oil pressure and power.
Loud as hell too - exceeds the OSHA 8hr time wieghted exposure, so we have to put ear plugs in to drive it.
I think I'd have found a better way to spend 14k, but its just power plant money.
