Big $$$. You can find single row Rangers for less but the 2 rows of seats bumps the price up a lot. It's hard to swallow that this would certainly depreciate faster than a tractor but I think the enjoyment we would get out of it and the work we could do with it would be worth it.

Not a bad price, but only a 4 seater. Also I can't find if it has an open rear differential or not. That is key for not tearing up the grass and for not destroying your tires when driving on asphalt and making turns. Yamaha Rhino's, for example, have locked rear diff's. 

The jump seat looks do-able but would really limit what I could put in the bed and the dumping function.

That price is awesome for all it comes with --- but I still think it has the rear diff permanently locked. In reading reviews it has a front diff lock on/off switch, which is common, but not one for the rear. It also doesn't have bench seats, which is what I want. It comes with a windshield, power steering, and a whole bunch of other stuff. It really is awesome for the price.

This review talks a lot about its offroad prowess and its comparison to a Rhino... which has a locked diff.

That's awesome. I found a similar one near me. These are only 4 seaters but a) they are narrower than the big ones and b) with bench seats we should be able to load up our whole family.

Now I just need to get my tractor projects done so I can sell this thing.
