    We did the deal today, I'll put up picture up when we take delivery of it. We did get a Boss V-Plow with it but that will go on when they receive their fall order.

    We went with Kubota orange and not the camo, we added a CD Player with a AM/FM Radio that has a NOAA station or compatible, two work lights on top of the outside of the cab and on in the back. We also added a back window protector and a block heater for the engine.

    Like I was tell Backwoods Savage , I'll get my arse going making sure that around the trails are limbed up enough so the cab doesn't hit and widen the ones that need it.

    The wife really wanted it so we went this route.

    I hope so Sav, like I told the salesperson today, I can never say anything bad about the Rhino Yamaha. The HST in the RTV will take sometime getting use to but until the big guy takes me, I have plenty of it.

    Do you want any pine? :thumbs:

    We have the 2007 Yamaha Rhino 450 Special Edition with over 7500 miles on it. The Rhino is still in good shape and if I can make room in the new garage for it, we might keep it and use that for running up top.

    If the Mahindra dealer would've given us about $21000.00 for our tractor with the backhoe, my azz would've been sitting in a new Mahindra 2638 HST with a cab,a/c and heat but it was short of that number. I'll still use the 4540 for most of the plowing, especially the heavy snows we can get.

    NICE!! I too am looking in near future, love that V plow.. I snow blow the driveway with any significant snow. But that little plow would sure be nice for 1-3 inches that make driveway icy.

    You need a sxs Lyle. A plow on a sxs would work well for you in those instances. Plus, you could put one to work for a ton of other things.

    It showed up a little late but we have it. The young man that delivered it took a ride with me so we could take on a few hills, I learned real quick that even when you have it in low 4WD going up a hill, you don't push the gas pedal to the floor. It walked up the two hills without a problem once I was driving it the proper way.

    I didn't do any work with it, we were by the Brook watching some family fish, when we left they had some brook trout and the father even caught a 10 inch small mouth bass that went back in the Brook.

    I took some pictures but the sun makes it look faded in two of the pictures. The A/C in this thing is really good.

    How can they even sell something that won't pass inspection? I mean there's the"As is" option, but not at 9k.

    My buddy bought his 11 F-150supercab 5.0 auto 6.5' bed for 8k a couple years ago.

    I've been pondering a side by side in my future. The RTV's are nice and probably the best work UTV available. They sure aren't cheap though. The Kawasaki Mules and Polaris Rangers look pretty decent. I remember going to Disney a few years ago and they had a bunch of the big Toro side by sides. They were like small pickup trucks with huge capacity's.

    After I was done getting the porch ready for painting, I decided it was time to take the Rhino for a ride. I'm not sure how long it's been since I used it but it was like it was mad at me but it finally started up and I took it for a few laps around the house trails, all seemed good on the trails but I'll have to run it every couple of days.
