For Pigtail's birthday instead of a new ATV 4X4 that she thought she wanted I bought her a Yamaha Rhino UTV. Her Polaris Sportsman is going on 10 years old now. At first she was a bit skeptical of the Rhino as she is a hardcore 4X4 ATV fan and we have never owned a UTV. I had looked at the Kubota UTV but the diesel without turbo at higher elevation is a dog. I have a neighbor who has one and it even struggles with the turbo. We have put about 150 miles on the Rhino in the past couple weeks and she loves it now. It is a bullet proof, very well built and functional vehicle as you would expect from Yamaha Motor Company.
I had been shopping for a used late model UTV for a couple months or so and was high bidder on an Arctic Cat UTV with very low miles, cab and heater on Ebay with a buy it now price several weeks ago. We were gone for a day and someone did the buy it now and bought a almost new Cat UTV for 10K. I kept looking and found the Rhino on Craig's list locally. It was a 2008 special edition 700EFI, enclosed cab, wiper and heater and only 32 total miles on it. The price was a steal at about 2/3 the new cost that the prior owner paid. Here are a couple pics taken this am after a short run in our new snow and it is still snowing at our home.
