Allowing that in the boat or trying to touch it would be the last thing those guys ever did

Yeah, it didn't look like it was coming over for belly rubs for sure

If I ever replace the 4 wheeler, I would go for the side by sides.

What makes you say that?

Although slightly a feminine topic any of you guys know (or care) what a decent SUV to buy is? She likes the RAV4 or CRV. It's mainly for her anyways. Mine are mainly picked on looks (not price). Equinox, CX5 (or 7?) and the Tiguan.

Does anyone know their poop on this stuff?

Thanks

Not to be a Richard, but the vehicles you listed are not true SUVs, they are all crossovers. This means although they look like and have the space of an SUV, they have a unibody car frame. True SUVs have a truck frame, and can be used to pull some serious poop. Crossovers are just a way to avoid buying a minivan, but you get less bang for you buck when compared to a minivan.

yes they are still ironing out the kinks on kawasakis, polaris, yamaha, etc..they arent reliable yet...but if you go with farm grade units like kubota and new holland, you've got that reliability...but you pay more for them as well

They were extinct in northern Ontario as well, but they are back. There haven't been any sightings but they've found tracks, fur and poo. I'd love to see one...from a safe distance

Same with the old square GM Safari and Chevy Astro vans, they had the truck frames and were great for towing. But for a daily commuter, grocery wagon, the crossover are perfectly fine, but don't go expecting to haul any large trailers/campers/boats around.

funny you mention that....I have honestly heard nothing positive about John Deere mini-equipment....sure they apparently make top notch big equipment, but the smaller stuff leaves a lot to be desired it seems...
EDIT: This is an un-qualified observation, I've never owned John Deere

You would think they have been making unit for golf course work for years. They should be able to make a side by side.

I bet the Leafs win the cup this year

From what i hear they are higher maintenance when compared to other makes...they've been making lawn tractors for years as well

Over 200 sightings per year for the past 4 years in NS. The guys from Swamps and Bogs carry what they call Cougar cams.
