Hello everyone, I’m looking to purchase an almost new rtv and can’t decide what to get. It will be used on a cattle farm and very little on the road mostly in the pasture, but, I do get in a hurry sometimes running across the pasture at 15-20 mph. I really wanted the 1100c model with cab, ac and heat. A cab hard or kinda soft is a must, the heater is a really would like and the ac is a it would be nice but not necessary. I can find a good used one for around $18-19k.
I like the diesel, the speed is lacking but ok but the cab is a real turnoff, it’s really cramped in there I’m 6’2” 200# and getting in and out Of it isn’t the easiest. The open cab models are a lot better but by the time I add a cab, heater and a few other small things I’m almost at the cost of the cab model and without the ac.
I’m going to be in and out of that thing 20-30 times a day so the small pain of getting in adds up as the day goes on. I thought about removing the head rest and the side bar that hits your hip and maybe even buying or fabing a running board to make it easier. I drove a sidekick and liked the way it felt and the gas pep it had. I’ve never had a diesel sxs and it will take some getting useto. I currently have a Yamaha rhino, Kawasaki mule and a ranger, all kinda old Ann except for winter I remove any kind of doors and windshields so I can just slide right in with ease. Winter I add stuff back on to block the wind. I’m 58 years old so looking forward the heat and ac sure sounds great Any thoughts about how to solve this dilemma.
