My sentiments also.I just think if your going to do some deep mudding,the weight and the ground clearance will be against it.I don't know about Texas(I have hunted ou there on a ranch San Angelo)but here in Bama with our clearcuts,and deep logging roads,the Kubota would be in trouble.We get tractors stuck around here...I don't think you would have rouble in a good pasture.....

 

Oh you can get them stuck..... I buried my RTV1100 pulling my 200g sprayer trailer, and my 1100 in on a set of Mattracks.

If it's goey enough, you're stuck.

 

my dad bought one last summer. its a used model with 80 hrs on it and came with a windsheild and doors. gave 8200 for it. as far as trail riding, its boring,slow,heavy(near 2000lbs.),low ground clearence,loud,and rough due to leaf springs in the rear. i usually put about 150-200 lbs of logs in the bed to help with the bouncing around, and the 4 wheel drive system is only 3 wheel drive. when in 2 whl drive its only turning 1 wheel, in 4 whl drive it turns 1 rear and 1 front wheel, then in full lock it turns 1 front and 2 rear, but if you want to pull a tree ar some farm implaments you wont go wrong. i used it this past winter to get ready for ffod plots. i own an arctic cat 500 and used it to pull half trees before. with the kubota there is no comparison, throw it in low and pull the whole tree where ever you want. the plus side to the kubota is: great for work. in a full day of use i used 2 gallons of fuel, my atv would use about 4 gallons. power steering works great, nice to be able to get you,the wife and the little one all in there due to the bench seat. the most important thing though is that all the grand kids and neighbor kids love it and always want to go for a ride. that alone made it worth the buy.
