[@thystaff742]

Those are 5 steps above the army surplus Willie's Jeep that were available after WW2. I can see why UTV manufacturers are fighting against these in trying to prevent their importation.

[@rodgerneeb301]

I'm sold on the concept. I am not sold on the price. The rest of you need to buy them all up and in 6 to 10 years they will be on the used market in the price range i would go for. So go ahead and get to buying them all up so there will be a complete parts pipeline when I get my used one.

[@Noah_E]

25 y/o ones have been getting imported for decades. I don't know where you live, but in central VA a Craigslist or Marketplace for "Japanese mini truck" or Hijet or Acty will bring up multiple options under $10k. And they aren't governed like the new ones if that matters to you.

[@rodgerneeb301]

@Noah_E Yes, exactly. That is proof of concept of what I'm saying. However, there is another thing to keep in mind. By their very nature, those are Grey Market orphans here. Where would one go for parts support? Would the parts for the new ones be usable on older Grey Market orphans? Or will the new generation of imports be as orphaned as the old ones? I'll let others have the fun of finding that out and wait. I have gotten to the point of buying my flat screen TVs from the pawn shop, I've had good luck with them, and they cost less than most pay for the warranty on theirs ...

[@Noah_E]

@@rodgerneeb301 they are really simple to the point that most didn't use EFI until the 2000s. Japan makes about a half million Kei trucks a year so parts are plentiful. There isn't much to break and maintenance/wear items are readily available online. Especially if you use wider rims so you can use tires available here instead of the narrow ones they use in Japan.

[@andrewgee241]

You can buy original condition Kei trucks for much lower price. These are customized and made nicer so they are raising the price as well.

[@daveharper5655]

The main problem with these vehicles is that they are very light and are limited to the amount of snow that they can push. They also have very thin paint which is okay in most places in Japan but if you’re county or city uses salt on the roads they will rust away very quickly. They have a 660 cc engine and they are very low on power, one of the benefits is that they are a 4x4 and are fun to drive. Mine is a 2002 and is in new condition but a friend bought one and used it to clean snow and after 3 years there wasn’t a lot left, the paint might be better now. I do enjoy it but a serious work truck it is not. No offence to you good sir but this is just my opinion of an older version of the same vehicle…. They have very thin body panels.

[@derekdreke4990]

I can see investing is one of those for property management especially around apartment complexes it can do most of the work larger trucks can and get into challenging areas that your normal f250 can't get into. I may or may not be adding this to my Christmas list...

[@kidsteach938]

You almost fit in there! Hey, who needs cup holders, anyways! They have lots of these minidumps here in Panama. They can maintain a decent 30 mph (empty) going up hills. About 15 mph loaded. So just budget a bit of extra time.

[@kevingebert4316]

Those look sweet. Glad I never bought a 1000 Polaris North Star. Those cost as much as a Jeep setup.

[@bigpapapump8418]

These smooth lines I'm using on the ladies have melted some icy situations. I could probably work you up a quote on a bulk order....

[@Gwalker0220]

For twenty five thousand I could buy a nice plow truck that would haul more, plow more, hold up better, and be street legal... I remember a short time ago these were six or eight thousand. Crazy...

[@tomjack9632]

I’m jealous,, but not overly jealous,, definitely nice machines you have, I have a Suzuki carry, Myers 6’5” all angle blade and a sander on the back,, best money I ever spent, these little trucks will out work any side by side any day of the week…

[@rcguymike]

Brine or sand are the least corrosive options I think...some brines attack aluminum I've heard though... I'd go with just sand and use your sweepall in the spring, the dark color will help melt

[@rcguymike]

Actually I wonder if you could use the sweepall in winter? 😅

[@joeallen4454]

Enjoy your reviews. Helped me with my tractor & implements purchases. That straight edge Fisher plow is definitely a substandard build. Thin cutting blade & lack of additional rib bracing make plow light weight but fragile. I installed one on my Gladiator and used it 2 times. First plow was 1" fluffy powder and bent one corner of cutting edge. 2nd storm was 3-4 inches of wet New England snow and bent other corner of cutting edge and also bent the plow. Uninstalled plow and purchased another. Fisher plow has spent 2 yrs in my yard because I cannot in good faith sell it because its so flimsy. I hope you have better luck but really am waiting for an end of season review to see how yours lasted.

[@dinotudisca3821]

We use Magic treated salt. Google your area. Available in pallets with bags and usually a supply yard will carry bulk. For that smaller spreader I would suggest bags. You can store in the shop and slice bags and fill the hopper in doors

[@edhetzel7289]

I've seen 1 jumbo cab dump. I think that is the best version of the mini trucks. The little extra room is always better, im considering one.

[@Noah_E]

I like the durability, comfort, and quietness vs a SXS, but would go with a 25+ y/o one that isn't governed. I've had our Ranger XP900 over 60 mph countless times traveling between our pond and cabin/garage. If I wanted to take thrice as long I'd take a tractor.

[@DonnieDarko727]

[@justanotherviewer52]

Hope they stand up well to winter. Tire chains for winter traction?

[@phild9813]

My brother has been using one for years. Has snow tires for winter. Works great for his needs.

[@JonWebb-f9r]

The chemical is called everclear , not sure who sells it, but it is sold in bulk

[@iamajcoleman5359]

HAHAHA this comment wins

[@pauldevries363]

I would use a salt/sand mix. That way it melts ice and you gain traction. Its probably 80 percent sand and you can usually have it delivered by the dump truck load.

[@jimmcknight3021]

It would be fun if you could get up to Gord's place (GP Outdoors, i know he watches you and you watch him) and have a snow plow competition. 🥶❄️🧢

[@PEI_Guy]

I wonder if thee is a snow blower available for those little trucks?

[@huntsbychainsaw5986]

I'd need the salt hopper to be at least twice that size, but the manual transmission unit with the high low awd and the Vplow would definitely be an asset.

[@PeaceIntheValley]

was the price 5224? i cannot justify the price of a gator, Polaris, Honda side by side, etc. I can buy a used short bed 4x4 truck for much less and will be street legal everywhere. These are what I would look for.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Here ya go minidumps.com/truck-sales/

[@cdezzz]

Add a 3 on the left side of that 5. I love the idea of these, but I can’t justify it. Could set up my tractor and utv for less then this.

[@phild9813]

Definitely not 35k stock. More like 25k for one, brand new. Used they can be had for 8k in my area for one in good condition.

Countdown to Courtney doing Anime reviews, a collab with @crinacle reviewing tractor, and tractor attachment waifus, and becoming a complete degenerate in 3... 2... 1... Kei trucks are just a gateway drug to Hentai. We must stop this before he is a complete weeb!!

[@HexaFox]

These looked really cool until I read the fine print and saw that they have a governor on them that restricts them to a maximum of 20MPH. That is a huge drawback if you planned on using this commercially and needed to travel on the roadway with other motor vehicles.

[@woozleboy]

This truck isn't 25 years old. It was imported and cannot be titled or registered for road use. Kei trucks must be 25 years old before being imported. Also they are not speed restricted. My 97 Honda does freeway speeds and is road legal.

[@rickwatson1000]

Nice Texas Lone Star over the door !

[@jhomrich89]

Indusco supply does sell salt by the pallets and they have a variety of solutions. They are a janitorial company so they sell the stuff to facilities by the pallets if that's what you're looking for as i personally have bought from them many times. If you want it delivered by the truck load I've seen a few companies advertising on marketplace that might be able to better assist you I'd look into that.

[@melaniekeen3611]

Overpriced

[@rodgersnore]

I use what is called solar salt it doesn't corrode my concrete drive at all! I've been using it for years. I get it from my Thiesen Farm Store here in Eastern Iowa.

[@RobertSchenk-f9e]

In the area I live this truck would be an valuable asset indeed!!!

[@mrmichaeltscott]

Polaris 🔥 😅😅 that might be good for snow removal and salt. But my Kawasaki Teryx 4 with a KFI pro poly is mean as they come and like a Billy Goat off road. I like it's toyota type though.

[@Harikarikillboy-fs5vl]

Plowing snow with a standard transmission is NOT the way to go for sure. However, a dump with automatic kicks the crap out of any sxs on the market. $10k-$15k cheaper than Polaris or Deere and is road legal. Sxs in my state cannot be plated. This is a million times better, more useful, quieter, comfortable year round…this is a winner. Hands down, no competition with any sxs, they’re not even close.

[@roystewart4386]

Has to be 25 years old before they can be imported into the US and be titled fir road use. This truck here will never be road legal sadly as it was imported before that 25 year limit. Kei trucks are insanely useful. I have two!

[@polksupply]

These are awesome little trucks. I wish someone was actually selling them. All I can find on the Internet is people talking about them. Even the websites that say they sell them don’t have any for sale. The only ones available are from the mid 90s. Does anybody actually know where there is a dealer that sells them?

[@jolanni7]

Cool little truck. Most certainly has a place and purpose. I don't know if I can mention brand names but here it is. Peladow ice melt is what I have had an opportunity to work with. The organization I worked with bought the stuff by the pallet. Many pallets. We used a salt sand mix as well in our larger spreaders. The smaller trucks spread the sand mix by hand after clearing major snowfall. While still snow flying, Even a small build up after spreading a sand mix would leaves piles of a slushy mush inches deep and more often than not quickly freeze and turn to ice, causing hazardous walking conditions for weeks later and in some cases the rest of the winter. As you may be able to tell, I was with a very large Transportation agency. When I had a crew or working at my specific assigned location, I would instruct the use of Peladow, (on the sneak), it is concrete friendly, much easier to distribute and at far less quantities. After clearing a location and moving to one of many a crew would have, continued snowfall would still accumulate but at a slower rate and usually would remain in a moveable state for mop up operations sometimes a few day after a snow event. After mop up, sprinkle some sparingly and after the sun hit it, it would be down to shinning bare pavement or sidewalk. Expensive but larger volumes are sold a substantial savings and between quantities used and labor it could be a wash. Definitely easier on the equipment than salt. Can be had in 50lb bags. Usually I would rescue a bag or two to take home for my hilly driveway and one bag would last me for the season at home. On sheet ice, sprinkle some very sparingly and it would put hole in the ice and start running underneath, As soon as the sun hit it, boom, gone. Try some. Once you know how to use it, you will swear by the stuff as I do. No, I don't work for that company or stand to gain in any way by writing this, just sharing what I have learned by using it. GL with your next blizzard. By the way, I am in the NE, and we get snow, lots of it.
