The biggest complaint I've heard about Kubota diesels is they are LOUD and SLOW. Bulletproof design if you can handle those two aspects. Good video! Tractor Hard! 🚜💪!
I heard here in Australia great for the farm,not so good on steep rough terrain, almost stops going ,pity because I really like them.I have a benche warrior 800 goes ever where without any problem.Not very quiet and CVT gearbox is not the best same as most utv .Works ok but noisy and no engine braking ,all steel body and cheaper than most.r@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead
We have a newer Polaris 500 that we're happy with. When was I shopping advice I got was to stay away from the off-brand UTV's that they sell at Tractor Supply etc because when you eventually break something, the big names are going to be easier to source parts from.
I have the Kubota side kick 850. It has power steering. My wife loves it. My brother bought a Polaris 1000 with out power steering. He told me get power steering!! He plows with it and it’s a work out.
I just started looking at UTVs. So far I’ve checked out JD, Kubota, Polaris, and Can-Am. As much as I love Orange (have an L3902 tractor and ZD1011 zero turn), I’m leaning towards the Can-Am Defender (but I keep going between that and the RTV-X). I don’t need the speed of the Can-Am, but I definitely like the interior leg-room better! Decisions, decisions…
One thing I didn’t realize is how much I would use the sxs for pure utility. I never get on it and “fun ride” so speed hasn’t been anything I’ve needed. When I was shopping I didn’t envision that… Good luck with whatever you decide on! 👊
I looked at the Kubota and Kawasaki UTVs before deciding on a Hisun Sector 550 EPS this spring. I don’t have the hills you have but definitely give it a workout hauling firewood, landscape bricks, gravel and dirt. It does the job really well.
Don't buy Kawasaki mule pro MX or Kawasaki mule pro FXR there nothing but problems they are fix or repair daily I had both of them one was a 2021 model and the other was a 2023 model Kawasaki mule are junk not reliable and there warranty is horrible they do not stand behind there products . Traded for a Can-Am defender. Great machine .
Don't waste your money on a Kubota Sidekick. Mine has a serious fuel in the oil issue that Kubota says is normal for the Subaru engines. Just got it back after 10 weeks in the shop and not fixed.
Great video! Hate we missed you at the show. All look like solid options but I agree with the others that the diesel may be tough on those steep muddy hills. Something powerful and lightweight would be my choice. Take care! 😁👍🏼👊🏼
I have the Kawasaki Diesel Mule and would say if you have a lot of hills don't get it unless you want to go slow up the hills. And it is loud in the cab.😮 Go with a gas model.
I like the kubotas, but if you want something you can use for work AND play, the kubota cant play, and is even somewhat limited in the work segment if you havy any trails for things like fence work.
So you own a Massimo? I searched and the nearest dealer to me was about 2 hours away. That is not ideal. They do seem like a pretty solid machine though. How has your experience been?
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead I have the T-Boss 550 EFI. Honestly I don’t do anything really hard with it. It rides nice go through the puddles. I don’t have a plow or anything like that on it. I use it mostly for hauling animal feed, or just cruising around the property.
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead 2021 I bought a new RZR 900s $15k and now they r even higher. Bought a new truck in 2017 $60k now sxs are higher and trucks now up around $100k . The country has gone crazy! I won’t be doing anymore new buying until manufactures get their heads out of their butts lol. My son just bought CFMoto for right around $10k so I was thing maybe looking into them.
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead I agree with that. These Polaris and Can-Am fourwheelers that run 80mph+ would either kill me or fall apart in a few years time
Massimo...sold at your local Tractor Supply, but serviced who knows where?! And do you need a 10" screen for music, Maps, vehicle data, phone integration?? It's crap that's proprietary and going to go down. Get a Kubota or Honda and be done.
Tractor supply sells HISUN around here. I believe Massimo has grown past selling at box stores. They have quite a few dealers. I think the nearest to me is a couple hours away though. I would have to check into that.
@colt10mmsecurity68 West Virginia and some places you have to use the roads to get back when its dusk.....3 hours trails or more. versus 30 to 45 roadway, just saying.....
i bought a 2020 ranger 570 midsize. it has exceeded my expectations. the main reason that i picked this machine was the overall size of the machine. our trails are very tight but the main thing was that it would fit on my 5x10 trailer. every other machine was just a bit too wide and long for my trailer. i didnt want to have to haul it on my 20' equipment trailer. i think you made the decision though. kubota is top of the line in my opinion

Thanks for sharing! I kind of want it to be relatively slow, because we don’t need to be joy riding it…lol

Right on! That is definitely an important factor to consider!
I love how that guy at 10:40 just made a casual reference to PRINDL but nobody bat an eye... What a meme master... nice
I know! I loved that! 😂👊
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead Love your videos man.. Greeting from Croatia ;)

My Sidekick is junk. Serious oil contamination with fuel and they say it's normal for the Subaru engines. Have your oil analyzed if the level rises.

Have you thought about a kei truck? I want one with a dump bed
Oh yeah, those are sweet!

Did you make a video of the Bighorn and TrailMaster Booth at Equip Exposition This Year?
I actually didn’t see the Bighorn booth and the Trailmaster folks declined to be in camera…
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead👍👍
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomesteadWhy did the TrailMaster folks decline to be on camera?
I only buy Honda, I learned that after owning Polaris.
I have a rancher that we just cannot kill! lol. Honda makes great machines.
Couldn't agree more! Never see people leave Honda. They're bulletproof!
Love my Kubota sxs
Which Intimidator model was shown in this video? I do not find any info on their website for a new four cylinder machine.
It has not released yet. It is supposed to release this spring I believe.
knowing what i have done with a kubota utv kubota is where it is for me
Good to hear! What Model do you have?
Hey Lucas, there is definitely lots of options on the side-by-side world. Looking forward to seeing which one you pick. Great video.!👍🏻
Thanks, Buddy! We are excited. Not sure when we will pull the trigger, but soon, Lord willing!
Don’t buy a Massimo unless you have somebody in your area that can service it. We had to order parts directly from China.

Sxs have gotten so expensive just can’t afford them anymore ! Just like trucks they have gotten so high can buy them anymore!
I hear you! I will say that last Massimo model is right around $10k and had a lot of nice features. That is not a bad deal considering!

You know as well as I do that a Honda would last you the rest of your life. A big Polaris might end it though😂
You’re right about Honda. I really don’t want something capable of speed/performance, because we will destroy it. 😂🤣 I need slow and tough!
@@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead I agree with that. These Polaris and Can-Am fourwheelers that run 80mph+ would either kill me or fall apart in a few years time
I’d take Kubota.
Kubota always win😀
Definitely can’t go wrong with Kubota!

Orchelen Farm and Home used to sell Massimo. Then they were bought out (most by TSC), so it was probably hold over stock from that buyout.
Cruise control on a SxS is stupid!
It's good to have cruise control if you drive on roadways......
@@rogerhumphrey6622Roadways??? That’s what a truck is for.

I’m hoping to come in and talk to you all this week…
You should buy a Massimo!
Quit looking into the camera like you are stealing something. Dang buddy make eye contact. Or is this fake? Infomercial?
