Want a new work UTV; who and what should I look for?

[FTG-05]

I want to ditch my Kubota RTV-XG850 and it's moronic twitchy throttle design flaw, get rid of the problematic engine and the 40 mph purposely throttled speed.

So far, I'm looking at the Honda Pioneer 1000 and the Polaris Ranger 1000, both of which have 1000-1500 lb payload bed capacity.

What other makes and models should I be looking at?

Thanks for the help!

I own a Honda Pioneer 1000. Dependable solid machine. Downside: I bought the 5 seat version. the roof and super structure get in the way for working out of the bed when seats are folded down. I rarely haul more than 3 people and 3 fit easily in the front seat. Other downside is dust. It comes up thru the bed where the seats fold down. A 3 seater does not have that issue and you can get solid doors for the 3 seater and seal it up if you want.

I considered a Polaris 1000. It is faster and zippier off the line. But it is belt driven. That, and experience with Honda reliability ATV's I've owned helped me decide on Honda.

Bordercollie bought a Roxar and it seems like a workhorse from what I've read on it.
