I don't own one but my father in law has the 500 and i really like it. They are not fast but works great at crawling around the trails and hauling some wood....etc

I mainly want one for cutting firewood,hauling brush,pulling a dump wagon around,and giving my kids rides around the timber lol,right now using a case 224,tired of dealing with that thing,like the 500 being liquid cooler and two cylinder,but it’s only about 1.5 more horsepower and about $1500 more then the 400.does kubota build their gas engines for them?looked at a mahindra the other day and they using kohler engines

I am sure it would do everything you want it to then. The only info I could find on the engines is this
Powered by a Kubota GZ460-E-UV Liquid-Cooled, 2-Cylinder, 4-Cycle Gas Engine, says Kubota engine but I can't say for sure if they build their own for those?

Thanks for the info,that’s really all I seen on them too,was hoping there was more owners out there,is it comparable size to a golf cart?there is a closer dealer to me that I will not buy from,too many horror stories,but I have went thru their showroom but don’t have any in stock to look at
