Side by Sides

[Shaggy]

I am looking to buy 3 or 4 side by sides for work. I bought three golf cards about 2.5 years ago and had the beds put on them. They work but are getting beat to hell out here and we need something heavier duty. I bought two used cuchmans about a year ago because they are beafy as hell but they suck in the sand and can't climb a hill for anything. They are really flat paved warehouse machines. I have a Polaris Ranger 800 that I use myself out here but it is way overkill. I am looking for something much cheaper. I don't want it to drive very fast like the ranger because of the liability. Basically I am looking for something in 2wd with a decent work bed on it that goes about 20mph.
I looked at those cheap ones at home depot but I don't think they will work. It only has a 9HP lawnmower type engine on it with only a 1 gallon gas tank. I really want something that has reasonable power with I would say no less than a 5 gallon tank.
What options are there out there?

Kawasaki Mule 600 2wd or 610 4wd. Top speed 25 mph, 4.5 gallon gas tank, solid rear axle, carb'd 400 cc engine, comes with a tilt bed and seat belts.

Mule fits your need perfectly

[Shaggy]

I agree. I am going to go to the dealer this week and see if he can make me a deal on 3 or 4 of them

[KrazyKarl02]

Probably could get some money off if they have a 2013 laying around.

I bet if you "test drive" them for the weekend at an offroad park you could **** them up enough they would have no choice but to sell them for cheap!

[Shaggy]

damn tax title and destination jacks the price up even on the mule. The dealer claimed they dropped it down to cost and the out the door price was just over $8000 each. I really was hoping to be closer to $6000 each. I am going to call a couple other dealers and see what I can learn. The good news is the 2014s come with 3 year warranty that covers everything but the belt. Unlimited hours.

They probably cost too much but I used a toro workman machine a few years ago and it did great.

8000 for a 610 4x4? That doesn't sound bad

[Shaggy]

600 2wd

This. ****, a brand new kubota RTV is over 12 grand. You cant expect to get brand new stuff that is well made and not pay for it. stop being a joo

Since when are we classifying side by sides as well made?

[Shaggy]

It is my job to be as cheap as possible. If it was for me I would end up getting one way nicer than a bare minimum.

[TdmayfieldIV]

No side by sides are well made.....they're all giant hunks of ****. Some of them are awesome ****, but still ****.

[KrazyKarl02]

I disagree, the kubotas are made to work, the mules are somewhere in between. The rangers are made for fun.
