We've got an intimidator 2500 truck. It's made by the same people that make bad boy mowers. Kohler diesel, low/high hydrostatic, 4wd, 6 ft bed with folding sides. 800 miles and no problems so far. Mama and my in-laws both have kubota 1100's. They're fine machines but you pay for the orange.

Just got a Ranger as that was what my accountant wanted. Moved wood piles left from storm cleanup. The box is small and frequently overload it but like it well so far. Cousin has a Club Car with diesel engine. The box is twice as big and is power tilt. He would have nothing else after owning a New Holland and a Bobcat

Kubota RTV 900 is like another tractor to me. Stack firewood as high as the cab. Skid small trees out of the woods. Wife uses it to clean flower beds and yard work. My hunting ride for Deer and Turkeys. Diesel engine uses very little fuel. 25mph road speed is fast enough for me.

I have an American Landmaster(Landstar 550) 4wheel drive with locking rearend. It has B/S  engine. It started when it was 18 below zero this past feb. I only have about 20 hours on it and it has preformed great. Boys used it deer hunting last fall and it crossed farm fields in the mud where trucks could not go. It is also American built. It runs between 25 and 28 mph. Which for an old guy like me is great.

I also have a Kubota RTV900. The main knocks you will hear or read on them are hard shifting, which is caused by people too smart to read the owners manual and that they are slow, which they are if you consider 25 MPH as slow. They will haul a huge load, dump it and do it day after day on a very small amount of fuel. I have never seen anything new I would trade for my 13 year old RTV,, except another one.

We had a 2017 Polaris Ranger 900, first electrical issues then just into the second year the engine gave up, replaced it with a reman engine. Broke in and ran for 2 hours/10 miles then traded it for a 2019 Honda Pioneer before it left me walking again. Neighbor had the same luck with his too. The Polaris rode smoother over rough terrain but wasnt the most reliable whereas the Honda has been very reliable and really like the way it shifts and handles any task we have performed. Both machines are capable of 50 plus mph which is important to us as we want to get there and get to work. Good luck with whatever you choose. Better decide soon as wont be long and the mushrooms will be popping up. Handy as a pocket on a shirt for getting out to the timber for finding them morsels.

Don't buy one at a big box store.  I've looked at Lowes, Rural King and TSC and they are all way to under powered for anything other than driving around on level ground.
