Hi,
I have been reading some of the threads and wanted to say Hi.
I currently have a:
2003 Yamaha Kodiak 400 ATV.
2010 Massy GC-2400 subcompact tractor with a 4' bush cutter, 5' mower, and front snow blower.
For the last 8 years I have been looking for something that could take the place of all that stuff.
I spotted the Brutus at a local dealer last fall and thought, (finally, my dream has come true).
Unfortunately that local dealer and the 3 others within an hour of me decided not to carry the Brutus due to the high cost of adding a commercial equipment dealership from Polaris.
Not wanting to drive 3-4 hours on the interstate to try one out I drove over to the local Bobcat dealer and my wife and I tried out a 3650.
Loved the way it drove and the great ride over the bumps ( I have a real bad back and my tractor jolts me around on the bumps). I removed and replaced the snowblower a couple of times with no struggling, or hurting my back.
I don't think this one had the speed fixing mod done to it yet as it had a hard time going up a hill and got up to only 22 mph coming down it. We normally only go 15-30 mph on the ATV trails anyway so if the Brutus will get up to 25-30 mph after it's fixed that will be fine with us.
I mow about 20 acres of old bumpy farm fields and I snow blow 3 or 4 local driveways for the neighbors, I also some times have to clear the road early some mornings before I go to work when we have big storms, we also like to ride on the hundreds of miles of ATV trails.
We only had 2 things we didn't like:
1. The engine is incredibly loud in the cab ( my tractor has a 3 cylinder diesel engine and it is quite and smooth at full throttle, it just hums). You shouldn't need hearing protection in something with this nice of a cab on it.
2: The drivers window flips open for a breeze, but the passenger side doesn't. My wife didn't like that. The Bobcat flyer shows both sides open. The Polaris flyer shows neither side opens. Do the windows open on the Polaris?
The heat and air worked great, sure will be nice.
Over all we loved it and it would be perfect for mowing, snow blowing and riding on the trails, I also would use it to put my boat in and out of the water.
Hopefully the noise can be toned down some with sound deadening material.
