Oh my God. I see it now. Kudus on the engineering. I’m [censored] terrified of low heights, but I kind of want to give this a ride .

My original black Tundra I wore completely out with all the extra weight and rough roads but it served me 10 years. I retired it by making it into a tower for a stand. It still runs but it’s first season this year they killed a 170 and a 161 so it’s likely not moving.
Next generation I went to a badly needed one ton(Chevy). Rigged out much more and really serving it’s purpose.
The old little Toyota will never die and it’s usually reserved as a muddy day truck and as a backup/loaner. It does get in on the work sometimes.
I know another long post but I can’t say things in short words like HUD.

For hunting, I mostly walk, but it isn’t long distances. Sometimes I’ll use the Honda ATV and if I just have to hunt when it’s raining, I’ll take the non-stealth Kubota diesel.

In OK, where I have access to 1200 acres, I use my daily driver. 2017 f150. In Tx, where we have 250 acres, I use what God gave me. Two feet...although, I do have a 4 wheeler for work too.

does the Kubota slam you through the windshield when you let your foot off the throttle?

It did until my son smashed the windshield out during a misadventure. Now if you do that there is nothing to slow you down and you end up on the ground in front of the machine. LOL. That's a 2009 - no idea if the newer hydrostatics are a little more gentle on the let off.

A neighbor lady I work for occasionally has one, a 2004 rtv900, now I'm used to our Mule where you let off the gas and press the brake and come to a smooth stop. This thing is the polar opposite. Let off the throttle and I had to use every muscle in my body to keep from going through the windshield
