What irritates me is!
Those 6-packs work pretty good.

Kubota with cab and a/c would get my vote.

Default a/c

i hear you on the a/c. being in south texas i like a/c, but i dont have it on the ranger. thats where i guess the kubota would win. i really like my ranger. i have had it for about 18 months. i does have a cab, but no a/c. it is a great utv. it moves out quick and can pretty much take me anywhere on the ranch sand dirt mud and rocky terrain. with 900lbs of weight in the bed. my fire skid will weigh in full of water and supplies at about 1040lbs. my respects to the kubota with a/c though...

Yeah, I'm in West Texas. That's why my Teryx has been sitting in the garage here lately. I liked the Kubota but I could have bought 2 of mine for what they want...but you know...since it's his money.

I would have to go with the Polaris Ranger 6x6. Traction to get just about anywhere. Speed to get you there in a decent amount of time. Some of the best towing, toting numbers.

DEFINATELY a Polaris Ranger HD. These things are the most trail capable and handle a great amount of weight. Most skid mfgs fit them too.

No matter what rig you choose check out Independent Cycle Inc. and watch the video.

Legend Air Suspension Systems increase UTV load capacity, travel, clearance, articulation, vehicle stability and ensure a smoother ride. Safety is the name of the game.
