Kubota Sidekick RTV XG-850, review in snow of Wisconsin

In this review of the kubota sidekick I demonstrate how it handles in snow and talk about how the machine has worked over the past 2 years.

I’ve had mine for about two years . The factory sets the shacks at level 2 out of 5 . It takes 5 minutes to adjust them up to 4-5 to get the most ground clearance . I run mine at 4 year round now and the ride is much better . I also just added a 2 inch lift kit for $120 and now I have more clearance than a can-am commander !

So . . . you're a diesel guy until you actually want to have some fun. Would you say the X900 is a tool while the XG850 is a toy?

🤣 I am definitely a diesel guy. The diesel side by side is a tool, limited to 25 mph. The XG-850 is a tool and a toy, but more tool. The construction of each is very heavy duty. The X900 isn't fast enough to cover large properties and round up livestock. They both can haul over 1000 lbs and tow large trailers. The XG-850 was the better fit for us because we can haul stuff when we need to work, or we could play around on the trails.

My 2022 sidekick is junk. Bad Gas and water contamination of the crankcase oil. Been in the shop a month now with a warranty claim and dealer can not get help from the kubota rep to find the problem and a solution. Seems the 850 engines have a problem that can only be solved by throwing parts at them and Kubota is ignoring that. Don't waste your money on the sidekick look for a side by side from a reputable company that specializes in them. My buddybought a Ranger when I bought the sidekick and he has had zero problems and at 25 hours mine has been ib the shop a month with Kubota not caring..
