Looking for a side by side older less mobile people

  • Alex changed the title to Looking for a side by side older less mobile people

As one of those older persons I understand the challenges you mention. I never pictured myself as the guy that would be driving a minivan, but we just bought our second, because they have a flat floor and are easy for the wife and I to get in and out of for us. That being said, the wife and I both have our own off-road machines a CanAm Commander(hers) and a Trooper 2 (mine) and because they are higher than cars they are easy enough for us to get into.  The individuals with the mobility issues need to physically try getting in and out of different UTVs. They may find it easier to get in and out of something like my T2 than a passenger car.  My wife and I had a Chevy Malibu that was hard for me to get in and out of and I would be in pain driving after 30-45 minutes,  but I have no issues with my T-2  or her Commander. I know all of the lines pretty much have a flat floor machine similar to the Polaris Rangers, so the best thing you can do is head out to the dealers and try getting in and out of different machines, like Travis stated. Or there is a better idea,  somewhere near you is an area where people congregate to ride, go there, talk to other people face to face, I think you'll find them friendly and willing to let you try getting in their machines without the pressure involved with being at a dealer. Good Luck, Dave.

      That's the question! Or, if you want to add details:
      (a) How do you use the UTV? (roads? off-road to get to trees? etc.)
      (b) If you are wearing a helmet--how frequently? What type of helmet?
       
      My own answers: (a) Most of the time off-road to get to downed trees, cut the trees to logs and haul the logs back for splitting. (b) Very rarely, a ski helmet and not a motorcycle helmet.

      Hi, 
      New to the forum. 
      Came here looking for some experienced UTV users who can enlighten me about which brand should I pick for my very first UTV or SXS. 
      I'm between 3 brands and 3 models: 
      *Kawasaki MULE PRO-FXR   1000.
      *Yamaha wolverine rmax2. 
      *Can am Commander XTP. 
      The use I'm willing to give it is mostly to go to the range with my wife, load steel targets and all our shooting gear, we shoot a lot, rifles, Shotguns and Handguns for practice, training and competition. (Range is about 10 miles from home) 
      But also I want something that I can take to the trails and have fun on dirt, mud, rocks, puddles or creeks. 
      Any objective information will be appreciated, specially which is more reliable and durable. 
      Thank you and happy 4th of July.

      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

      Hello everyone! 
      First of all I would like to thank you for the help with my timing problem, it was the chain. Now I’m looking for the part number for the wet clutch baring.  I’ve been looking for it but my side by side is a 2022 t-boss 550 and it’s not the same as a 2021. Can anyone help me please?
      thank you in advance again.
