6 UTV Side-by-Side Essentials for Hunting and Farming

10/15/2019

Side-by-side utility vehicles are great pieces of machinery for those who live on – and off – the land. Whether you are a farmer or a hunter, a side-by-side UTV can be an essential addition that makes jobs and recreation more enjoyable and easier to maneuver. UTVs, like Kubota’s RTV-XG Series, have several multipurpose uses such as hauling gear and equipment, or transporting yourself and others across long distance and harsh terrains.

Whether you’re in the market for your first side-by-side UTV, or looking to upgrade to a more dependable model, look no further than the all-new Kubota RTV-SG850 Sidekick. Roger Gifford, Kubota product manager for utility vehicles, calls the Sidekick “Kubota’s fastest gas-powered utility vehicle yet. It really blurs the line between work and fun, because the Sidekick offers leading handling and acceleration with cargo.”

This durable multipurpose utility vehicle not only comes with a two-year/1000-hour warranty, but also possesses six of the most essential qualities you could ask for in a UTV.

SPEED

When you’re on the hunt or the farm, speed is essential – imagine driving across 50 acres at a snail’s pace. Or, what if you or your team need to get back to home base as fast as possible? UTV Speed is important!

When choosing a side-by-side utility vehicle, you need speed and power. The Sidekick’s acceleration and torque can take you where you need to go, and fast, with a 44HP gasoline engine that can go up to 40 mph. 

STRENGTH

As a farmer, you want to know you can depend on your UTV to haul you and your cargo wherever you need to go. Hunters too know the importance of power and strength for hauling game and equipment back from the field.

Great for any chore or expedition, the Sidekick has a 1000-pound* cargo bed capacity and up to 2000 pounds of towing power to get you and your equipment where it needs to go safely.

RELIABILITY

Once you’ve started up an incline, there should be no second-guessing that you’ll make it to the top – no matter what the terrain! From rolling hills to rugged elevations, you need a dependable utility vehicle to ensure you’re entire journey is a safe and comfortable one.

For whatever ground you’re trying to traverse, the Sidekick’s all-terrain, four-wheel drive system makes it the dependable UTV choice for your farm tasks and hunting excursions.

DESIGN

Utility vehicles aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when you consider style and luxury, but don’t count them out. For whatever the task, farmers and hunters alike want to make sure they are riding in a piece of equipment that is instantly recognized and respected for its sleek design.

The Sidekick comes with several body color options that can accommodate any type of usage. The classic Kubota orange for general use, camouflage for hunting, green for worksite operations and more.

DURABILITY

When you invest in a new UTV for your small operations, or as a new addition to your fleet, you want to rely on its grit and endurance for years to come. No one wants to make constant repairs, or worse, have to buy a new model within a few years due to poor manufacturing.

The heavy duty, rugged terrain frame makes the Sidekick a stable, durable option for any task. Plus, its exceptional load capacity, coupled with Kubota’s outstanding warranty and customer service, ensure it works hard and lasts long. 

CUSTOMIZATION

Your utility vehicle doesn’t have to be all work and no play. There is an array of options available from Kubota that can make your new UTV unlike any other on the ground – it’s all about you and how you want to personalize it.

From cab components like windshields, roofs and audio systems, to winches, cargo boxes and work lights, the Sidekick has a variety of attachments that will make any job or activity more enjoyable.
