Replacing my Yamaha Rhino With This
Well, my Rhino does a very good job with the usual chores around my property/farm but I think this little joker would be even better. I live up over a mountain at 3,000 ft and We get plenty of snow. My driveway is 2.5 miles so needless to say, I spend plenty of time plowing snow.
You can get these with a hydraulic dump bed, 4wd,Diff lock and some even have A/C.
. The price of this little beast is about $4,500 stock and with all the goodies like this one, it is about the same price of a bone stock Rhino or Ranger. The only negative I can see is that you can not title it to drive on the roads in most states.

Say there's a car dealer here in Colby Kansas that has like 5 or 6 of those right now for sale. I've been kinda looking at them. They're tiny, and you have plenty of tire options. Say just about any ATV tire that fits i believe a 12 inch rim will work on those, I thought they would be a lot of fun to cruise around in out on the trails. lol. It would work great for doing fence and farm chores. lol.

I found that site loking around earlier. I have seen a video of these trucks with tracks instead of tires. They are pretty cool.

That is a really cool little truck! I was looking at the Rhinos too and decided to get a Samurai instead. It's about the same size as this mini truck but has no PU bed. The Rhinos are about $9900. if I remember correctly, twice the price of those little trucks and five times the cost of a Samurai. The big advantage of a closed cab is the heater in the winter and protection from the rain and snow. I use mine on old mining roads, all year, where it would be hard to get a Jeep through because of it's width and the Rhinos leave you exposed. In the summer though, you can take the Samurai's doors and top off if you want.
Just last weekend we were at 9000 feet elevation, hours from home and looking for wild horses. The wind was blowing about 30 MPH with horizontal snow. Heater was on, tunes were playing and favorite beverages were open. There was even some giggling involved, but we weren't cold or in a hurry to get back.
