I have no experience with RTV's, but I do use an ATV daily for work. I use a Kunz Acrease mower (www.kunzeng.com) to bush hog in places that a tractor can't reach. I also bushhog small open tracts of land that tractors are traditionally used for up to 15-20 acres. The ATV I use is a Bombardier traxter, which is the same model as a John Deere Buck. It's a handy machine- and I can reach places no truck can access(and most RTV's can't since its a tad smaller). The truck has its advantages for highway travel- picking up supplies, etc.
I've seen some japanese cab over mini trucks, Mitsubishi I think? They are not much larger than a golf cart but are rated for a good deal of weight. They look almost identical to an Isuzu NPR commercial truck, but much smaller. Pinzgauers are a similar truck, more like a unimog but I believe to be smaller in size. There are a lot of options out there.
I ran across a local dealer recently who sells an all electric RTV. This thing has an unbelievable amount of torque for its size but is limited in range due to battery size. I can't recall the name of the manufacturer.
Anyone use a RTV around the homestead? By this I mean the machines like the John Deere Gator, Kawasaki Mule, or Kubota 900. I like the hydraulic options available on the Kubota and it would be cheaper than buying a tractor with those same options (auger, fence post hammer).
But the cost for these things is pretty high. Almost buy a new small pickup for the same price. But the gas mileage should be substantially better. As well as no cost for registration or insurance.
