Yes I have the same unit with the 20 hp Cat. Diesel engine. it's been good . I use it in the fall for hunting and winter for snow removal. you want a local person to service it. as the dealer is quite expensive. It's hauled everything. ! it's built a little heavier than your average UTV.

thanks I shall D ;)

I have a 2008 Cub Cadet sxs..love it. It's basic,has a hydraulic dump box,(which is really useful),I use it for breaking trails on my property,hauling firewood,and use it all year round. We have quite a bit of snow up here in Northern Ontario,and have ONLY had it stuck once,when there was no where to hook the winch to.I do wish it had a little more ground clearance,and taller tires,for the mudholes,but honestly?..for being the FIRST atv that I have ever owned..(I bought it used with 240 hrs on it)..it has been everything I hoped for.The throttle is a little twitchy,but once you get used to it,the damn thing is a tank,and will crawl through almost anything.Would I buy another??...absolutely!..It's NOT the fastest thing out there,topping out about 30kph,..But when other atvs get STUCK!..I am the go to guy,to pull them out..bulletproof so far,and other than replacing a front wheel hub,(it was cracked from the previous owners farm use) problem free.If you want SPEED.the Cub isn't for you...but if you want tough!..reliable,and trustworthy..it's a really good bet. The Kohler 31hp gas engine seems bulletproof so far..I hope this helps your decision..any more questions,just post,I will try and give the lowdown on my ownership so far

Hi @redwood61 Welcome to the UTV Board. It would be better if you made your own thread here in the cub cadet section. It will get more views having a topic title about your problem.

This is likely ours he's talking about here....we have a 2008 Joyner Trooper T2. We took it to Rich in Nov 2017, with the understanding he would start on it right after the first of the year. Finally after many communications and giving up, we retrieved it unfinished the first of Sept - and the buggy was cannibalized. The engine had been rebuilt, but he did not do the rebuild himself, because he didn't have a mechanic. The engine was rebuilt, he told us by NAPA, however it does supposedly have his custom cam in it. BUT, it's not holding good oil pressure. Still working out what we're gonna do about that. There's supposed to be a warranty on it, but we're not hauling it back down there so the warranty can be honored. He's 5 hrs away from us, and who knows what might be taken off it if we take it back down there. AND, he has no mechanic. As we said, we retrieved it unfinished. The engine had not been installed, the clutch and pressure plate had not been installed, and Rich told us himself he's too old to do the work. There's a Joyner T4 sitting there now that was there when we dropped ours off in Nov 2017. And now there's an Oreion sitting there he says he's working on. Again, he has no mechanic. We retrieved our Joyner the first of September, and Lloyd and our son spent 2 days finding parts, installing the engine, and putting it back together to the point they could load it on the trailer and bring it home. Rich still owes us parts that were not there (gaskets, ignition, etc) and parts that were taken off that should not have been. He claims he has no knowledge of what was taken or why. We don't question his knowledge - but he is ultimately responsible for parts that were removed that he cannot account for. The ignition was gone; the steering column was dismantled and parts missing. And that only scratches the surface....in a nutshell, if you are considering getting Silverbullet to do some work for you, I suggest you do a shop visit first and make your own decision from there.
