We farmed ( row crop & cattle) until semi retirement. Had a Kawasaki 4 wd mule until last December. I sold it and then bought a Kubota RTV 900 without having the oppurnity to really test drive one in the field. I use it every day to feed with and misc chores around the farm. In my opinion they are overated. The transmission is slow (and often difficult) to shift. Also, there is no glove box or standard cargo space under the hood. The power steering is great! Also, Kubota doesn't seem interested in consumer assistance. This was not a problem with Kawasaki. Our Kawasaki wqs early 90's model & used hard. We have to cross water in the pasture EVERY day. This is only my opinion as a Work vehicle.

My RTV900 has about 15 hrs on it. It sticks in reverse at times and can't get it out any way except to kill the engine and then of course, it comes out easily. This seems to be acommon problem with these units. It would seem to me that this is a design flaw.
