You must have very small trails. My ranger has no issue at all in the woods Trail isn’t the problem, turning around at the end is the problem. Really??? I envision this.

Anybody got experience with Arctic Cat/Prowler UTVs? Never heard a thing good about them. There is a reason you hardly ever see them. Bro in law has a 650 ATV Artic Crap and its not been good to him at all. I am sure there are people happy with them.

Trails have ends? Mine all loop in some form or manner, every single one of them. Hmmm, wonder if I'm doing something wrong?

My trails have no end. They all loop back to another trail.

I am pretty certain I've narrowed the choice to a Kawi Mule. I'm just trying to figure out what options to add so I can come up with a price. We are in the same boat and looking to buy a side by side this year. I have had my Polaris atv 400 for 18years now and it's time. What do you like about kawi mule over the others?...if u don't mind me asking I had pretty much narrowed it to Polaris and Kawasaki quite awhile ago. I guess mainly because it seems those two are by far the most popular UTV brands. I hadn't considered Kubota until Cat mentioned it...now I'm looking at those. I plan to get a quote from a place in Alexandria soon.

My dad bought a little Kubota. I like that it's mostly mechanical linkages and there aren't many solenoid actuators. It's a tough little machine but slow if you want to go anywhere that's open spaces. I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever been on a Mule, but I'll tell ya what I think would be a fun little machine for the backroads and bar trips would be is the RZR. Willing to give a price range for what your Dad paid for the Kubota?

Friends dont let friends buy PoPo... just sayin. I've been pretty much anti-Polaris for a long time. After talking with a number of local guys, many of whom put some serious miles on theirs, I'm less against them. They do seem to cost more than a similar Mule...so that will likely lead me to not buying a Polaris.

No doors, no roof, no windshield, no extras. Took it home and wired a 5yr old piece of plywood to the top and called it good. Does Honda sell one? I've always heard great things about the Honda small engine products.

Dad bought his in madison SD. No need to worry about servicing a honda. Ya, probably. I'm just more interested in trying to spend my dollars as close to "local" as possible. If I could buy a Honda in L.P. I would likely do so. If I could buy any brand of UTV in L.P. I would likely do so...
