I don’t just “get around” in my rigs. Hunting and being in charge of two large leases which have almost 40 community property stands/feeders means I get to do a lot of the maintenance on the equipment. My rigs are more “lease works trucks” and are designed as such. Always remote and sometimes alone I need to be prepared so some features allow me to cheat a little. 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. Nice work

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.
Not my monkeys, not my circus...

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?

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
