Kubota got it wrong. The XG850 CVT clutch doesn't shift down when you stop quickly resulting in ($270) belt squeal, jerky starts and belt burn in soft snow or mud. Also, the 4X4 clashes gears after delayed disengagement. Kubota dealership calls it "driveline wrap" which is still a problem, only less serious than he actual problem. They won't honor their warranty by denying that these problems exist. Company reps. will not inspect these problems if owner is anywhere on the dealership property. I build 2000hp airplane engines for a living and verified the problems before requesting warranty repairs. Additionally, they use expensive proprietary oil for the rear differential (not available in stores). Kubota buys up rights to affordable aftermarket products and then sells them at inflated prices. OEM replacement parts arrive with "made in China" labels. Anyone know a good warranty lawyer or want to join a class action?
@@featheredcoyote5477 The CAN-AM Defender is my first pick. Among other things, Kubota has deliberately strangled the after market accessory options and inflated their prices. I've been upgrading a CAN-AM and the options are plentiful. They are powerful, ride nice and they don't piss on their customers.
They are lighter so less damage to pastures, quicker and easier to get in and out of when stopping at every fence post or baby cedar trees, cheaper to maintain with less parts than a full size truck, better fuel economy, can drive where trucks can't like dense wooded areas or corral areas, take less room to store, have a dump bed, much safer if it gets turned over on a hill or slope. Need I go on? If you've never experienced any of these problems on your farm or ranch, you've never needed a UTV because you don't live on a farm or ranch.
Great job with those lights!

So if you were to purchase a side by side, what would you buy and why? I'm searching for a side by side for our farm.
