Polaris Ranger alternative?

[Walding1989]

I have a kubota x series and I like it better than my ranger. Built out of metal and heavy duty instead of half plastic like the rangers

[Hydestik]

Kawasaki came out with a new mule machine that goes faster than 25 to compete with Polaris. If its built like the regular mules the ride wont be as good but the quality will be there.

We have 3 Kawaski Mules at work , they have a problem idling mainly but other issues as well . The last one was less than a year old and wouldn't idle when cranked . I would not buy one .

Will be going from ranger to Kubota diesel before long

If you beat the junk out of any of the above you are going to have problems as well. I have a Ranger and treat it like I paid for it, not like I stole it and it has been great.

If you find one that outlasts the rangers (used in the same conditions and same abuse), please let me know. I haven't seen or heard of one yet. My ranger has been in the shop a few times, but it was always due to my error.

Those are pre fuel injected models, they were some cold natured machines for sure, not anymore.

I bought the RSX 850i gator. It's their sportier gator but still a hard worker with some great features.

We beat the hell out of RZRs and Rangers offroading and mudding. We hardly ever break anything or break down. Axles can be a bit fragile if you don't know how to drive.

How does tomcar stack up with some of the others?

Look at the Hondas, I've heard good things about them.

Run a diesel and gas ranger in Camp Wood, both are great machines. The gas one was leaking oil for a little bit but thats the only repair I can think off in the past two years. The dodge ram ranch truck with 300k miles on it certainly requires more maintenance.

We will be getting a Cab Kabota when our Ranger dies. For what we use our Crew for it has lasted a long time. I've been very happy with it.

But, the Kubota just fits our needs around the farm much better, and it has a Cab with AC, so yea that.

I dont need one to drive miles of Ranch road daily, or to go 40 plus MPH. So we are changing for those reasons.

Mommy wants to be dry and cool when she heads down to get the mail, or put out a sack or two of cubes when I'm not around.

It all depends on what you use them for.

i just bought a Kawasaki mule pro fxt. totally new design. rides like a Cadillac.

I love it, but it's more than 11k. out the door I paid around 12k, but I got a heck of a trade in on my teryx4, which knocked it down to like 8 out the door.

they threw in a dot windshield, and metal roof. comes with a 3 year bumper to bumper warranty straight from Kawasaki.... first time that's ever happened, so I think they believe in it's reliability.
