As a retired Firefighter/EMS First Responder with over 26yrs service, your idea to donate to your local FD is fantastic. I'm assuming that since you're in a rural area, the FD is all volunteer. Good for you!!
Having been I firefighter for 24 years I too would like to say thanks Josh for paying it forward. As you probably know something like this small run around vehicle will be abused sort of because of the playful nature how fire fighters. Oh thanks for your service too.
It just guarantees he'll see it again. They've been out how many times? :)
I'm sure the fire department will like either one.
But speaking as a old Volunteer myself they would probably get more use out of the side by side by using it for fairs etc as a mini rescue and a off road rescue or mount a water tank and small pump in back for grass and wild fires that are hard to get to with fire truck. Plus mount a extra tank in a pull trailer far hay fires etc on farms that are hard to get in and out of field gates with fire trucks.
Jimmie Burleigh yup I did not see your comment till know but that is what I put coming from from dad is a volunteer firefighter and he always talks about how good there utv is
Great video awesome looking side by side and mower
Its awsome to see you give back to your local community I am sure it will be much appreciated. The things your doing are fantastic.
I appreciate that
Giving back to the Community! Outstanding!
I’m the Grandson of a firefighter. If Grandad was around he’d shake your hand. He’s one of them “old timers” where a handshake was as good as a deed on land is today. Good stuff as always buddy. Love a good review on the Stoney Ridge Farm. 👍🏻
Gotta love these homesteading guys with unlimited budgets.
I just told ya the video was sponsored and we're donating the mower to the local volunteer fire dept. What more could you pick apart Frank? As a popular youtuber companies reach out like cub cadet...it's my duty to pay it forward to our first responders
Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
HAPPY EASTER TO YOU AND MRS STONEY RIDGE
I like that better than any ive seen. The Bumblebee is great.
👍 to Cub Cadet and Stoney Ridge Farmer. 🚜-Woooooo!!!
We have put over 85 hours on our cub cadet challenger 550 and we have had zero problems
That's a nice UTV. A donation like that to your fire dept would be pretty noteworthy. That's very generous. Happy Easter.
Thanks Brian
Great review Josh! That thing is awesome! It's wonderful to see you pay it forward 😊. Happy Easter to you and Mrs. Stoney Ridge
Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it and happy Easter to you and misses Stoney Ridge and hopefully many more to come
Another awesome machine and an awesome review. Enjoyed.
Good machine have a good day and happy easter to you
Wow!very nice machine!This blows my viking out of the water..Here in wv we run on the roads alot.The blinker lights and horn would come in handy!I'm gonna check these out!
Eric
Hello hope you are doing great
Josh, you looked just like a proud papa. Great job cub cadet 🇺🇸
Happy Easter 🐰 you guys.
That was an awesome review. Great little rig. Have a Happy Easter. 👍👍👍❤️
Glad to see you sporting those nice liberty’s made right down the road from me!
Pretty cool Josh thanks for the review
I really like that UTV. I'll need to check out my local CC dealer. Thanks Josh!!
Hi from Australia loving the content at the moment and the time you upload is perfect happy Easter plus keep up the awesome work 😀
Very nice, thanks..
Great Video, good luck with the new side by side!!!!
Thanks!
Happy Easter! Josh and family!
Same to you!
That’s pretty nice!
And fun too! It's Mrs Stoney Ridges Bumblebee!
Nice new toy sir! Love your channel and videos! Your living my dream! Have a good day and God Bless!
Thanks, you too!
Happy Easter mr and mrs Stoney ridge farmer
Thanks for a great review. Wife and I are considering a UTV for ourselves. I honestly didn't even know Cub made one. I've always been a big fan of CC and will definitely be taking a closer look at this, and definitely at it's price point!
That's a pretty awesome utv, I like it, great video Josh!
Good morning from Mebane!
Hey brother those side by sides have reverse chains and break when pulling In Reverse it’s always best to pull driving forward and use park when using the winch I’ve seen so many people hooked up to someone with the winch pulling someone while in reverse cause the winch is pulling them to the stuck bike and they break there reverse chain, and trust me I see it a lot going to the offroad park up the road from me
I was coming down here to make the same comment essentially! The gears in the diffs on all vehicles are made to be much stronger going forward compared to reverse. So... even on a normal truck/ATV/etc... always pull going forward. Otherwise there are a number of components that are weaker in reverse. Of course... that log looked pretty light. So it should be fine!
MySuburbanHomestead right, and yeah lol I was just warning him so he don’t hook up to anything heavier
If you were in Tennessee you could slap a tag on that puppy and drive it on the secondary roads. It's nice not to be limited to just our farm. If I need diesel I can go down the road and get it and drive it right out the tractor. They did a nice job on the redesign of those Challengers. It will be interesting to see how it holds up.
Happy Easter everyone ✝️🐇
Hey Josh, great review! That thing is sharp. Ignore the haters. That machine is built by HiSun and though people like to bash them, I have two (one is a 550 and one is 48v electric!) and love them both. Take it easy in the first 50 hours, drain the juice and enjoy. Not all tools need to be top dollar. I have some other quality brand utv’s and always seem to want to drive the Hisun. You can buy two Coleman/Hisun/Cub Cadet 550’s for the price of a Honda Pioneer. Cheers brotha!
The toys keep rollin in ...nice gesture
Thanks Peter.....boy...some folks sure get angry when I bring something new to the channel.....I guess they forget this is a youtube channel that does reviews along with education, farm work, farm tours, chickens...cattle, hay, equipment....there's nothing like this anywhere and let me tell ya it takes some work and creativity! Thanks for your support buddy
Happy Easter. Loved cuz and the dump truck. Rusty junk can be interesting.
lol...I broke it yesterday! AHHHH!!! Threw a belt...and burried the skid steer in the mud! Video coming next weekend!
That answers my second question was going to ask when we see the old rusty equipment in your videos and are you waiting for other parts besides a new belt to start to repair the other rusted equipment
Happy Easter 🌻🐝🐝🐄🐇🕊🐓 great video
Thanks for the review. Been considering one for our company for awhile.
Happy Easter!!! The greatest day in Christianity.
what a great toy to have on the farm
Nice machine !!
Great video STR an Family.
Me and my grandpa picked up a package deal a 6x10 trailer and a cub cadet 50 inch just the other day great machines the one we had before was 15 years old and we still will use it for maintenance at our shop.
I like the Bumble Bee.
Nice review! I especially like how you showcase the capabilities of the wench.
Thanks Seth! You've tried it out too havn't ya!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Not as cool as pulling trees from the pond though!
This guy is fun to watch.
I'm glad you enjoy my energy! I love making these videos....it's really great to be able to enjoy what ya do everyday!
Nice review!! FYI you can use the winch to tow forwards with if you drive over the cable then install a clevis on your hitch to keep the cable out from under the tires
That is the best review I have seen on a Cub Cadet side by side, it will most likely be my next side by side but the 4 door model. Thanks for the video.
I agree, this is actually the first real review I've found that actually shows features, cab, etc. This will most likely be my next side by side as well, but the same configuration as the one used in the video.
I had a Yamaha Rhino and the rear differential was always locked on it which made yard/garden chores a pain as it would tear up the lawn and soil in the garden trying to turn around and such. The Cub Cadet has a lot of standard features that cost thousands extra on every other brand machine out there.
@@wildbill23c If you had a rhino 660 that is the same engine as a cub cadet 750 but made by Hisun. I will give them that they come nicely equipped for the price but you better keep up on it or it will fail.
@@mikek4040 I had a Rhino 700, wasn't impressed with it at all, was glad when I finally got that thing sold. Would never waste money on a UTV again. I'd buy a mini-truck over any UTV.
Always enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!
Thank you very much!
a very happy easter to you and your family . we have kubota sxs many years pull push load tow great rig, you willenjoy your sxs a humble suggest ion do not tow with winch . 1 use dynamic (streachy ) rope , and on winch dynima rope safer lighter stronger . we now also have bobcat tool cat 61 hp . god bless enjoy
I've always have Cub cadets I have a 1969 Cub cadet which is a international harvester. I have two more tractors also.
Do you like it better than the Kabota
It looks like a handy machine Josh. great video.
That Cub Cadet looks like a fantastic machine. I sure could have used something like that to remove hurricane debris several times. Put a lawn mower behind it and its perfect. Thanks for sharing and donating the zero turn to the fire department. Happy Easter.
That’s nice it comes with those a arm skid plates usually that’s something you have to add on
and the winch! I've used it several times...never really thought I would need one but it works awesome!
Stoney Ridge Farmer man they are awesome and will do work that winch will pull you up a tree off the ground and if you didn’t know always use it with the engine running
They are nice machines. I have a ranger 570 and have pulled mega oak logs with it through rough terrain and my buddies mid sized tractor out of the mud . Got a few dents in it but great tool
Thinking Smart car meets John Deere Gator! 😂
I read a lot of reviews on this utv and most of them say it's a nice machine but after 150hrs it starts having all kinds of issues and is very expensive to fix! Have a great easter stoneyridge.
I'll be sure and keep you well informed...it's been awesome so far!
Like all of these types of machines it all depends on how you take care of it, if you drive it like an idiot and use it as a dune buggy yeah you'll be lucky to get to 150 hours without problems, but with care and common sense it'll last many years if you can find parts which I've been told is one huge disappointment the lack of parts with reports of owners having their machines stuck at dealerships for months on end waiting on parts....then again I've heard the same from other manufacturers too, so I think it really depends a lot on what parts are breaking, like my truck I had to wait 2 weeks for a part because apparently it was a part that broke all the time so nobody was able to keep them in stock....I see this probably is a common issue as well as the parts come from....you guessed it....overseas just like every other ATV/UTV brand unfortunately so you are at the mercy of the slow boat from China LOL.
My Yamaha Rhino had 1500 hours on it when I sold it, tires were shot, doors, hood, seats, bed all rattled like crazy after about 6 months, the front differential lock didn't work 99% of the time even though according to the dash it was locked, it wasn't....hardly used it but the few times I needed it, most times it never worked, expensive repair if I wanted the dealer to fix it...only a 6 month warranty on Yamaha ATV's and UTV's....Cub Cadet has a 1 year warranty, not much better LOL.
The standard features are what makes it very desirable for my use and the drive train 4wd system.
Aj Lewis I’m wondering the same thing. I work on all brands of atv and utvs. The Hisuns are coming on strong but they still need refinement. I’m not sure if Hisun built this new model. But on Hisun brands
I find the plastics and rubber to be very cheap like maybe UV inhibitors are missing from the manufacturing process. The mechanicals are not too bad. Overall welding could use some training/ practice. If Hisun did/does build this model hopefully cub held them to a higher standard. Time will tell.
@@garny3766 Its a Hisun engine. Don't worry the paint was already fading on my 2011 Rhino after only a year...reminds me of the 80's paint flaking and clearcoat issues of 80's vehicles LOL.
Mechanicals aren't much to work on, its the cheap Chinese plastic body panels that worry me on all of these machines regardless of brand. For what you pay for them, the body panels should be much more solid than they are.
The issue with these types of UTV’s is the CVT clutch belt drive. If you know how they work then you’ll understand the problem. Four wheels contacting the ground is much different than a single track on top of the snow. Pulling and getting stuck and you’ll soon find out. The belt is the first to go then the clutch and you’ll be constantly chasing those parts. This is the case with every brand of UTV that uses a CTV clutch system.
Thank you for a real honest review of this machine, I have been looking at the 750 for a while now and you just made the choice that it would be the best for my use...Thanks. If I recall you cannot engage the front diff-lock without the rear diff-lock engaged...you can engage the rear diff-lock in 2WD though, but this is one huge feature that I want too, selectable diff-locks, and positive 4WD engagement which Polaris doesn't have, its 2WD until traction is lost then it engages the front, my Yamaha Rhino had selectable 4WD but the rear diff was locked all the time so trying to do chores in the yard would tear up the lawn really bad....Polaris has the Turf mode, but when you engage 4WD its only 2WD till the rear tires have a loss of traction then it'll send power out front.
I think the fire department would find more use for the side by side, however, government agencies, fire, ems, police, military go with Polaris because of parts availability and government contracts it seems. Polaris is ok, just extremely over-priced for what you get, which is just the UTV. I like how Cub Cadet gives you about 1/2 to 3/4 of the cab from the factory with a winch, Polaris don't do that, and their machines cost just as much...most of the time more than the Cub Cadet without all the cab parts and winch....price a Polaris Ranger with the full cab, yep $20k+ OUCH!!!! Guess if it ain't your money they don't care (Government).
The Cub Cadet can have a full cab the rear cab glass (err...plastic) is an accessory, so is the top 1/2 of the doors which I believe is also plastic windows, however, you'd get a full cab with about $1,000 or less then you can add a heater as well.
That Cub Cadet looks much better built than the Yamaha Rhino 700 I had, hows the rattles on the Cub Cadet? My Rhino had terrible bed and door rattles as well as after about 6 months the hood would rattle like crazy.
Now after your review, the UTV makes more sense on your property LOL, not sure what the fire department would use a ZTR mower for though, unless their department grounds is large enough to have that much lawn to mow LOL.
You better read some more reviews. 150 hours on machines and owners having tons of problems.
@@alienation1270 I read past 99% of them because most are extremely over-exaggerated, or only about 1/4 truths they never tell you the whole story or even close to it as to why things broke, and 99% of the time it was operator error, and trying to do stuff they shouldn't be doing...why is it many of those are Polaris machines that I end up having to piece and part back together for customers though? I thought those Polaris machines were pretty tough till I started doing small engine repair, I guess maybe we work on so many because there's just so many of them out there?
I've seen cars with less than 1000 miles on them destroyed so 150 hours on an offroad toy I can see a lot going wrong when you have idiots operating them.
I love my new Cub Cadet 4x4 I purchased last fall. My only complaint is the plastic parts do crack. Fenders cracked within the first 3 weeks around the bolt attachments. I drive between my garage and my field about 1/2 mile. No crazy off road stuff. Disappointing.
interesting...I'll keep ya informed for sure
Dad has one of them and its awesome. I have no idea what size his is but that thing will fly.
Happy Easter Josh!
Same to you!
I see the Yellow fog of pollen is hitting you all as well. NC in the spring.... Happy Easter to you and the Mrs.
heck yea pollen is bad this year!
Id like to see you put That Cub Cadet up against the Kubota pulling & hauling, But not speed LOL.
AC / heater and a radio is that Factory?
LOL...open both windows and listen to the cows!!
Stoney Ridge Farmer hahahaha
We got to have radio
Is that the 750 or 550
Dude, I got excited! I thought you were going to work your bees. 🤣😂🤣
lol....we had one swarm already this year...didn't get it on camera though
Looks street legal as is..great unit.
HAPPY EASTER!
Great review.
what happened to the kubota?
It's loaded down with fence tools and supplies right now...I did bust a darn tire on it the other day! Ran over an old fence post rusted sticking out of the ground ....grrrr
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer that will be a shit cos it can't be repaired with a puncture kit.
I understand talking it up so great since they gave it to you for nothing BUT I highly doubt it would stand up to my Kioti Mechron 23 HP diesel !! My machine even has totally hydraulic dump.
I wonder if you think it's nothing to spend 50-60 hours a week working on a succesful youtube channel and a farm? Remember nothing is free brotha..there are no free lunches
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I get that, as a beef farmer myself I understand what it is to be busy.
Been missing you guys was good to see you both. Happy for your new toy lol . I remember when u gave your kabota it's review. Thanks for sharing
That’s a right fine ORV Josh. Decent price point too.
you can get a rear panel and upper doors to make it fully enclosed. man if i knew you could get that window with a wiper kit (i don't think they had it when i got my challenger 500) i would of got the 550/750 over the 500i wish i could exchange the 500 for the 550/750 you can also get heat in it, an easy way to hook up other stuff to power them the way you hook it up on mine.
awesome
Might need one of those here at the Junction !
i love your farm
First to see Josh. Happy Easter 🐣
Simon thanks so much for being a great fan of the channel, you've been here for a long time and have always been very supportive! Happy Easter! Blessings to you and your family!
Stoney Ridge Farmer Hi Josh blessings to you and Mrs Stoney and all your family. It’s an absolute pleasure to be part of your fantastic journey and all that you do. Stay safe in these difficult times. You always bring a positive smile to all that you do. 👍🏻
Josh it would be cool if you compared the cub to your other UTV's. I know the price range on the cub is lower Than the gator but is it better?
It sure looks nice. We have 4 gators and 1 Cub Cadet UTV. The Cub has more power and rides nicer. But it's always breaking down. We've rented a couple Kubota UTV's that were quite impressive.
Ive got the 54 inch mower, good unit looks better than it's built, dck is a wobbly, should be sturdier than it is for the money i paid
So you didn’t give us the bottom line price & warranty but it looks good !!
Dang.... I knew I was missing something....check out the link in the video description brotha..all that info is there
Here in Minnesota if you can't get a fully enclosed cab with heat it's pretty much useless. You didn't say or I missed it is it air or water cooled? And it's the good country living and food getting to you and Mrs Stoney Ridge must be a good cook . He has risen! A blessed Easter Sunday to you and the whole family. Stay safe and healthy. My brother in law who works in a ER in Montana may have been exposed and is now in a 14 day lock down.
Water cooled...remember I showed ya the radiator guard in front...and cub cadet offers a full enclosure for the cab...door inserts and rear glass
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer had my 10 month old grandson with me.
A shout out to Cub Cadet . I bought a brand new Cub Cadet lawn tractor in 1986 .I have rebuilt the deck a couple times and replaced the motor with a bigger Briggs recently. It has been cutting 2 acres of grass every week for years . Will be interested in the review of the zero turn . May get another one.
Maybe cub cadet would take mine in on a trade as a example tractor to tough machines for promotion . Cub Cadet are good machines.The original company was bought out I think, so not sure what the new product is like
Hey Josh happy Easter!
Hey, thanks!
The only thing that you did not cover that would be nice to know is an approximate cost of the machine but it definitely looks like a well built machine
$15k msrp.
@@alienation1270 thank you for the info
Hay jossh i make a video first time of my honey bee farm after inspired from your give me your blessing
That's awesome!
Great Idea i am sure the fire dept can turn it in to a brush unit or something TYFYS
I need something like that to use on a 14acre farm in indiana. How much do they cost ? Thanks jim
Hi Josh ,I see you couldn't wait to have another petrol powered as you love speed against the Kubota ,.
Be careful you don't burn your hand or choke on the exhaust hitching a trailer. Another great vlog woooo.
Happy Easter! From UK
All of these have the check engine light on they dump fuel into the crankcase and burn I up
Not something I've experienced Trevor....but I'll keep you informed as we continue to use it on the farm
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I work one them a lot! Just keep an eye on the oil level going up! It's a problem as simple as the injector staying open too long after being shut off! Just wanted to give a heads up! Love the vids!
Another well done video, thanks. Don’t you also have a Honda Pioneer? How do they compare ?
There's nothing better Josh than paying it forward. And this is a big paying it forward. After all if I'm not mistaken you generally need to call them twice a year. Lol.
bhahhaha true!
I'd keep the side by side and donate the mower. You have enough mowers! Can never have enough side by sides
Is all of that stock besides the windshield
Nice review Josh. But you didnt answer the big question. If you had to spend $15,000 of your own money, would it be Kubota or Cub Cadet?
If I was looking to hit the trails and use it on the property....Cub Cadet...it's alot faster and has great utility...the Kubota is great for hauling people around since it has 4 seats....I think of these 2 critters as totally different animals....The Bumblebee is way better for Mrs Stoney Ridge! Not so big and cumbersome!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer i think you are dead on brother. I just wanted to hear you say it too. I'm making the exact same decision. Doing more research on CC durability first, but I like the product for MY purposes.
A wiper kit will absolutely RUIN a plexiglass windscreen when trying to clear mud, dust, pollen and dirt off. It’ll become sooo scratched to the point of replacement after one or two uses. Bad move. Plexiglass and mud don’t play well together.
This windshield is designed for the wiper system...must be some sort of anti scratch lexan...I'm not sure
Stoney Ridge Farmer .....to be determined
ohh youtube,where everyone knows better.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Hardcoat will hold up much better than regular plexi. If you are just clearing water it will be fine. Be careful clearing mud though. Even the hardcoat scratches easier than glass. It will work fine for clearing rain. Using the RainX for plastics will help a lot, not only with clearing rain, but keeping dust from sticking to it so bad. Don't use the regular RainX. They make a special formula just for plastics. I use it on the windshield of my Can Am Defender.
