    My local Ford dealer is also a Kubota dealer. That could be scary.

    I have ~ 460 hours on mine IIRC. It was bought new in 2008.

    No worries, they seem to hold their resale quite well as long as they aren't torn up.

    :faint: You should trade it for something that you'll use.

    I saw an XUV835 at my dealer a few days ago...had a full hard cab, heat. AC, wipers...probably more. I stopped looking when I saw it was $23,000+! I paid $28k for my brand new 2014 F150 4x4 with 5.0 V8...no way I'd drop $23k on a SxS.

    Right next to it was a pretty basic 825i for $12,900...thats more palatable to me but still a lot.

    I've really started to consider the Ranger 570. Its not exactly everything I want...but hard to beat the price. My local dealer has a couple 2018's for $9499 and a dealer a little further away has a few 2017s for $8799. Im a little worried the 570 will leave me wanting more power on trail rides, but Im sure it would be plenty for around the property/hunting/fishing which honestly will be 90% of its use.

    Another huge plus is I can trade my snowmobile into the dealers with the Polaris Rangers, the John Deere dealer wont take a sled in trade.

    Anyone here run a Ranger 570 have any input?

    Are you pricing the little or full sized 570? Mine 570 fs gets after it pretty good empty but its no 1000.

    Those were the 2-seater 570s.

    I have not driven a 570 ranger, but I can't see how a 40+ hp machine couldn't have enough to have a bit of fun when on the trails.

    Acceleration is almost the same as the 900 but with a lower top speed. I know I’ve never had my 900 top out so I’d have probably been just as happy with a 570.

    I know my RTV isn't going to make anybody happy trail riding, but if any of the Rangers, Hondas, Teryxs, etc. aren't enough speed wise, you a wilder man then I am!

    Yeah, relatively low hours. I've only got one azz, and after time spent on the mower and the tractor, the RTV just doesn't get the seat time it deserves. :thumbs: My 12 year old truck only has 130k on it. Maybe I have too many seats?

    Well I only have about 230 hours on my RTV since 2013-but it's there when I need it!
