anybody here own a utv that they use for food plots or just for play, looking to get one to help me with my food plots and to trail ride, any suggestions not looking to pay 10,000 that just seems to high for the amount i would use it looking for something a lil cheaper.

Our company bought a fleet of 2005 rangers to try as a test project on our site.After two years of use,the rangers spend far too much time in the repair shop for us to consider buying any more.

Don't get the John Deere Gator or the mule. Junk.

The arctic cat unit seems to work well as does the yamaha rhino.Honda will have a new side by side out next summer.

I would avoid the Rino for now, Yamaha is going through a class action lawsuit with it. I would wait until that settles and Yamaha takes some pro-active measures to fix the issues that may come up.

How big are your food plots? I put mine in with a Suzuki Vinson 500. Everything from a pull behind tiller to skidding out 15 foot tree logs, I didn't have a problem. For someone on a budget, I think you will get more use on trail rides out of a 4 wheeler too. I have rack seat from kimplex that makes it into a 2 up. Most 500cc machines and up today can do everything you will need, unless you are planting a ton of acreage, and in that case you should be looking for a tractor.

at the most i might plant 2 acres of food plots. i already have a arctic cat 250

Unless you have the extra money and or just want one, I would say you should give it a go with your quad or upgrade your quad before you invest the cash in a utv. I want one, but I can't afford one just yet. I cleared and put in almost 4 acres with my quad last year.

Your not gonna find a used UTV for what you want to spend, I have a 1998 Mule 2510, and it's not junk. never had a problem with it at all, and I beat the heck out of it. Good Luck
