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.

      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?

      I purchased a new 2023 Landmaster UTV L4 in October of 2023.  UTV didn't seem to have as much power of the demo L4 that I drove but figured once it broke in it would be better.  After about a week the unit started bogging down backfiring and stopping.  Gas fumes really bad, wait a few minutes and it would start up again.  Brought it back to the dealer and after keeping it for a few weeks said he couldn't find anything wrong with it.  Got it back home and it started acting up again, brought it back to dealer a week later and he said he found couple things that might cause it to do run bad and he was able to replicate the issue but didn't really know what was wrong.  Got it back home again after being at dealer for several weeks and the unit started running bad again right away.  Brought it back to dealer and he went back and forth with Kohler about possible fixes but just checked somethings and try to swap a few parts but still runs bad.  I called Landmaster HQ to speak with someone about a refund and was told that was handled at the dealer level.  Dealer called Landmaster and they told him they didn't do refunds or exchanges especially with units that had problems.  The dealer is now trying to get a new engine to but I have not heard anything as of yet.  I did file complaint with Better Business Bureau and they accepted my claim and reached out to Landmaster.  The National Service Manager called me and said the he had been contacted by the BBB about the complaint and he would look into it.  I told him that I would just like to have my down payment of $2,000.00 returned and never mind the over $1,000.00 I have paid in notes for a UTV that I cannot even ride on without hoping it gets me around the neighborhood.  I have found out that the 2024 Landmaster UTVs will have Vanguard engines due to issues with the Kohler engines.  Very disappointed in what is "Proudly Made in the USA" and the way Landmaster has treated this disabled veteran!
