I've been looking for an UTV for a farm.  I have a problem with the ones I've seen (Polaris and Honda) in that my inseam is 37 inches and it's going to get quite painful for me given the terrain.  

Yesterday I looked at a Polaris North Star.  I'm not going to pay $40,000 for a farm utility vehicle, but the salesman said that's about the largest they make.  It's still too cramped and, again, would ultimately become too painful to drive.  

Suggestions?  

Thanks.

Haven't sat in one to check out the room, but have you checked Kubota?  

that's what i was going to say, the RTV900 i've driven has a little bit more room for the legs, and the cab is taller.

The Kawasaki Mule FXR, all of the single row seating Side by Sides of all makes have a bit more legroom, I am only 6'5" with a big belly, as in 300+ lbs and my TransMule 4010 barely has enough room.  Part of the trade off is the bigger the cabin the smaller the bed.

The Kobta single bench seat is a beast, pricey, and the diesel is a bigger beast and more pricey.  But heck, everything is ridiculously expensive these days.

 

Good luck, I bought my first Mule in 1998, wrecked it in 2011, and the replacement is better still.  Fuel injection and power steering is great for a 75 year old fat man.  I expect this one to last the rest of my life, but I must have one.  13 years is a good long time to own anything mechanical, but my tractor is 40 years old, my pickup 20.  I am not one to give up a vehicle just because it has some age to it.  I have never known a man to regret buying one.

 

Again, Good Luck

That's OK. Just think about the ribbing I got through school. Jolly Green Giant was a regular, as was "how's the weather up there?". I outgrew both of my parents, as well as everyone else in my family, on both sides.

      I use my Hisun 550 (with the Coleman stickers), for general work around my 10 acres of hilly land. Hauling firewood, some dirt and mulch, and debris clean up. Also felling dead standing trees in the woods and hauling rounds out to the barn for splitting/stacking.
      Here's my question:  Those who use their UTVs with towed drag implements or snow plows, have you noticed any issues with early clutch slippage or failures?  Or premature belt wear?  Other drive line issues??
      Thanks in advance for any experienced thoughts and comments.

      Hello, I have a 2013 500 utv hisun. Was running ok and cut out while parked. Bike will not start now. It turns over, but won't fire. I have no spark and no fuel. I replaced fuel pump, ignition coil, spark plug, cdi, voltage rectifier and all the fuses and relays. Could bad stater cause no fuel because I can't hear the fuel pump priming. Any info on where to start looking for problem.

      2002 ranger 500 4x4 stopped running and wouldn't restart. Service manual wiring diagram helped identify the hub safety switch as the culprit. Using jumper wires to bypass  switch allowed the engine to start and run normally. Inspection of switch showed melted epoxy and a strong smell of burnt electrical. Unable to find replacement part either used or new. Is there a work around other than jumper wiring?
