Machinery

I need to purchase a ATV or a UTV. What is the annual cost of owning a UTV? Are they worth it?

It seems that the UTVs are expensive to buy and maintain. Can someone present me with their real value?

We have a **** Deere 835 gator with heat and air. Priceless at calving. Handy the rest of the time. Just service and go.
