Moved to the backwoods of West Virginia 2 years ago and need a side by side that will seat 3.  It will fill the following needs:

1.  Help me harvest wood to heat our home.  It's getting hard to use the wheelbarrow pull the logs back to our woodshed.

2.  We're almost finished with the training to become foster parents.  The bus stop is about 2 mi away on a single Lane gravel road, so would like to lighten the load on our vehicles in getting the kids from the bus.

3.  Some light trail riding.

I'm hoping to keep the price under $12,000.  I know there are the full size Polaris that seats 3, but after taxes and everything it's close to 15,000!

Any suggestions?

Cf moto Uforce 1000..  I'm a factory certified  Motorsports technician and I work on them.. I just advise you to keep up on your maintenance.. keep the air filter clean and keep the oil changed and it should be good! The engine is a  can-am copy. You can actually run a can-am 1000 V-twin oil filter.

Not perfect, but I ended up going with a mule.  Paid 12500 including a top, windshield, winch, and they're delivering it to my house that is 200 miles away.

Every other option either had problems with stock or was going to cost me $3, 000+ more dollars.  

I found one used for 7500 that would seat 3.  However the turning radius was huge, so it would be difficult to go through my woods.  It was a 2017 Mahindra mpact with 800 miles.  There was a lot of miscellaneous rust, guessing it's sad outside for long periods without being cleaned or properly maintained.  Plus they wouldn't have title for quite some time because they still owed money on it.  Didn't really feel comfortable with that purchase.

      Shopping for first UTV - need advice
      By SteveMO
      Folks:

      I live on 11 acres that demands a bit of maintenance, and co-own a large farm a couple of hours away that I hunt on (professionals do the farming).   My mowing/brush control/trail maintenance duties are handled by a 57" rough cut mower (Kunz brand), and I also drag logs and pull sprayers and seeders for food plots and such.
      I've been using a  pair of ATV's for decades to handle this work - a 750 for when I need real power (or need both machines at the same time when I have help) and a 500 cc with fixed rear axle for most duties.

      Some of the places I need to work are VERY rough, and very three-dimensional, with steep ups and downs and some side-hilling I've learned the hard way not to try with my independent rear suspension 750, but handle with ease with my fixed rear suspension 500.

      I've decided I want to sell the 750 and replace it with a UTV that I hope to use as my main workhorse.  If anyone makes a working UTV that fits my specs that's what I'm gonna do.  This is an all-work machine, I don't do any recreational riding so don't care about things like top speed.

      So looking for advice on what models might handle what I'm looking for:

      Gotta have:
      2 passenger (1 row)
      selectable 4wd
      Power steering
      Selectable gearing (not CVT)
      Power-assisted dump bed
      Engine cooling adequate for all-day slow-speed work in the summertime.  Like towing a 700lb mower at 4mph all day in 100° weather)
      Beefy tow rating, including tonque weight.  Nobody ever mentions tongue weight because that exposes how crappy independent rear suspension is for towing safely in rough terrain.

      Really want:
      Selectable locking diff
      Fixed rear axle (Isolates tongue weight from rear suspension.  Holds more stable & consistent center of gravity than IRS over side-slopes and other complex terrain, and keeps geometry and suspension response consistent over wide range of tongue-weight of towed loads)
      Slow speed cruise control (Factory option or aftermarket, covering at least 4mph - 10mph. For calibrated spraying and controlled mowing speed.
      Muffler designed for quiet operation for comfortable all-day use, and to minimize disturbance for getting to hunting grounds.  Not concerned about normal motor noise, but don't want something specifically piped to "sound fun".

      Any advice on brands or models I'm most likely to have luck with?

      2018 Sidekick starter needs replacement ~ Looking for an alternative starter
      By Stan Morton
      My 2018 XG-850-SL starter died yesterday. The old part number from Kubota is E7153-11732 which has been superceed by part # EG881-63010. I am looking for an aftermarket starter because the Kubota retail price for the starter starts at $550 and upwards toward $850.  If anyone has gone down this road before and has found an aftermarket starter ~ please share with me. We own a ranch and this thing is used every single day and is sorely missed when it is down for maintenance.  Kind Regards, ~ Stan

      Tach not working on an 800 side by side crew cab
      By KBM
      The gauge cluster has power and works but the tach does not. All fuses are good so I don't know if it is the gauge problem or some other electrical problem. Anyone have any thoughts on what it might be? KBM

      2019 Mule SX front wheel rolling resistance & friction noise from front diff. HELP
      By papillion22
      I'll start by saying i'm learning as i go & have come a long way, but there are some maintenance issues on my mule sx that must be addressed & i've got nobody around with experience & cannot bring it to a shop.
       
      I've got rolling resistance when i jack up the front wheels. Months ago i thought i was possibly a brake issue but didn't yet have the equip. to pull the wheel hubs or press them back on... but the noise/friction seemed to resolve itself. I just checked up on it because i've got the tools for dealing with the brake system now and i noticed the wheels dont really spin... theres a lot of resistance and i can hear it coming from the front diff. I can't remember if it used to do that before, but i dont think it did. Its not the drive shaft or u-joints, but i've yet to pull them to be certain. it really sounds like its in the front diff. just where the drive shaft connects.
      Should the front wheels - when in neutral and in 2wd and no diff. lock - spin freely? Theres too much drag for mine to even go once around. Can anyone point me in a direction? Otherwise its trial and error with cv axles, ball joints, brakes, etc. and i dont have the $ or time for that. 
      I'm in over my head and really hoping someone can help. I'll try to make a video of whats happening, hopefully the sound will come through well. Maybe that will help diagnose it. Thanks.
