Best UTV for farm/hunting

my neighbor has a honda pioneer and he loves it, it is shaft driven.

I'm skeptical of Polaris myself, we have 2 Sportsman 500's and I seem to be working on them constantly. Traveling 1.5hrs to my property one way doesn't leave much time to get real work done if you're constantly working on your machines. On the other hand a buddy of mine has a Ranger 800 4-6 seater and we whoop the shit out of it, no issues so far. I guess it's a crap shoot

I completely forgot New Holland made a UTV. We have a TC40D and 1920 SSS so it would match our NH fleet lol. I'll have to look into them.

I was rock crawling up/down a ravine and through some tight creeks on a YXZ earlier this year and hated the manual trans. I love it when you get into wide open terrain, but in the really slow tight stuff I hated it. Quality was good though

Then NH has been a bullet proof machine so far.  It has a Kubota diesel engine in it.  We run all NH equipment...  for obvious reasons.. LOL.  I have a 1720SSS, 230 skid loader, and 3 NH 120 Rustlers...  We'd sell one..  

Yes I didn't buy my yxz for trail riding, its going to be my race machine, thinking of setting it up for local TT tracks, and of course swapping back for dunes.  We use the NH 120's for trail riding and rock crawling when needed, I've considered building a turbo system for mine as well.  The diesel is super quiet which I like and there is no CVT whine like you get from other rigs.  You can have a conversation without feeling like you're yelling at each other.

I've got some excellent footage of our 3 120's running up Georgia Pass, south of Breck in the Tiger Run area, having to go around a 4 Seat RZR that the left rear aarms were ripped clean off the machine.  I have no idea how they were going to get that off the pass, it was a pretty rough trail.  We stopped to help but they said they were fine and had help on the way.  We rolled on by, on the way down huge rain storm hit, I know they got soaked... LOL.  My dad's Ranger 700 was brand new when we hit Wheeler Trail and it would over heat... when crawling.  He sold it when we got back, only had 10 hrs on it.  My RZR blew the front wheel bearings out twice in different trips back to back.  Seemed like there was always something.  The local Polaris dealer was worthless, I wouldn't trust them working on my weed eater.  

I will say we had great luck with the Teryx's though, that is another good rig.  The 4 seaters have alot of CVT whine though.  My 2 seater wasn't as bad.  My 2 neighbors run Teryx's and love them.  I sold mine and went with the NH 120's, I've had 2 now, 1 4 seat and 1 2 seat that I converted to 4 seat, but its easily converted back to 2 for yard work.

Mule deer are definitely on the dumb side but black tail deer out here are not habitual. They go nocturnal more often than not. But back to utv's lol. The ranger my gramps has has been very reliable. He changed out the drive belt after 3,800 miles just because. It was still in great shape. It's all in how you drive it.

The newer Rangers are really good work play horses for straight up work I'd lean towards a Kubota because I can go into town for parts as well as the hydrostatic transmission works great for spraying.
