I am wanting to get one and didn't know if anyone on here had any comments on them. Good? Bad? Worth it? Problems?

i'm assuming you mean the UTV. we have the 500 and its great for the kids because its slow and safe, the 900 is faster. it has gone everywhere we have asked it to and thats saying a lot, the kids have put over 200 hours on it in a little over a year doing chores and traveling to their summer job. so far our only problem has been it overheats after several hours of continuous use.

Yes, I was talking about the UTV. I didn't know if the 500 would have enough grit for what we do. We use our mule to haul firewood, rake hay and check cattle every day. It is used a lot. LOL!

we use ours for firewood, fencing, garden work, kids summer jobs, pulling loads and it does really well but it has no speed which we like with the kids using it by themselfs. it p's me off when i chase cows with it because it won't turn on a dime and the cows can out run it, but it goes through the mud and creeks like it was born to it. i like it for spraying and picking crops it really shines for that. i believe it would pull a rake but not fast enough to roll the hay properly--the 900 is suposed to be bigger and faster so i can not speculate on it, maybe a demo unit would answer your questions.

I once had a herd of Kubotas, but wasn't impressed with how they put on weight. Seemed a little slow to fill out.

I don't know. The one I looked at weighed about 1800lbs....pretty big to me! LOL!
