Thanks for the suggestions. I would suggest evaluating your work flow and needs really closely before you jump into the UTV. I went that route thinking buy once and cry once. But what I have found is that the combination of the work I do on the farm has me in timber and rough tight terrain often enough for it to be painful on the UTV, and other times it is just running feed over for livestock, toting things around the property and saving me 50 trips back and forth for things. I found that the UTV was just overkill. When you get back in the timber the size of the UTV, it's turning radius, and width are as much a hinderance as a help. I found the bed of the UTV starts to collect stuff just like my truck bed will that never gets used, and it is full of stuff that needs to either be put away or tossed. Most of the time I found myself still hooking up a dump cart to the UTV to haul and move stuff. I could have done all those things with the ATV. The ATV is more mobile and capable in those tight places. The one thing I will give the UTV credit for is that it helps keep you out of the rain and partially blocks the wind which is nice in the winter. The UTV also takes up a lot more space in the barn or garage which is at a premium on my farm. All those things added up to me deciding to downsize from the UTV to an ATV and I will just equip it out with the tools to make getting work done easier. I have a Polar dump trailer that I added the optional metal expanded metal mesh top rails to which I think I can mount some tool holders to that so that I can carry the long cumbersome tools with me. So I would suggest really thinking about what you do before getting lured into bigger is better. Sometimes less is more.
So agree with everything you say! I have a 96 Polaris Magnum 425 6 wheeler and would rather have a 6 wheeler than a UTV because it has the mobility as a ATV in the woods and it has the dump bed as a UTV. I was also considering getting a UTV before but has decided to keep my 6 wheeler for the work i need it to on my little farm.
Mr. J. thank you for the talk on martial law yesterday. You put into words that which I wished to say. So many peeps speak of ML, but have no understanding of logistics, chain of supply. I wish you had more views. Anyway you made my week.
I knew you shut the comments over there so I can come over here to say what I need to say, I want to thank you brother for taking the time to do what I don’t have the capability of doing. I want to thank you for warning everybody and telling them the truth nobody is ready for that, I just want to say thank you I’m not a troll, That’s why I came to this video so I could say thank you I don’t blame you for a shutdown the comments on the other video. God bless and have a good day buddy
I was thinking of getting one of these and now with current events that l wont get into, l am going after one. I will get the boring work model, not the one the kids like.
@@RealitySurvival I can see that was the case on the rear mounted ones but the ones mounted to the front utility basket looked like the basket frame and mesh wouldn’t allow for the typical clamp mount
A side note, yesterday 6, count em, 6, Apache gun ships flew just to the west of my ranch in NorCal. There is no big city north and nothing of importance until one reaches Portland. Must have been either moving equipment or simple training.??? Never seen that before.

All great points!

Glad to be of service!

nice
How did you mount the Gun Grips to the basket? Did you use nutsert/rivserts in the metal on 2 sides?
They just clamped around it.
@@RealitySurvival I can see that was the case on the rear mounted ones but the ones mounted to the front utility basket looked like the basket frame and mesh wouldn’t allow for the typical clamp mount
Oh. Sorry. On the front I just bolted them on.
I think an LED BLACKOUT. DRIVE light is pretty critical
Great idea!
What UTV's are you looking at?
Haven’t gotten serious yet. But it will be a work model as opposed to a Razor or something more sporty.
A side note, yesterday 6, count em, 6, Apache gun ships flew just to the west of my ranch in NorCal. There is no big city north and nothing of importance until one reaches Portland. Must have been either moving equipment or simple training.??? Never seen that before.
Hard to say. I imagine just a training exercise or something. How far are you from the Utah Proving Grounds?
There is also a Stockton Army Aviation Support Facility in NorCal as well.
1:58 is the dumbest thing ever
