Utility Vehicles

We are getting ready to start up another plant demolition/dismantlement job next month. The entire site covers just under 100 acres with the building, so I am going to have to buy a couple of new utility vehicles for transport. Does anybody have any opinions one way or the other on teh following utility vehicles:

John Deere Gator 6x4 diesel
Bobcat 2200S
Polaris
We are also thinking about the Kubota RVT 900 but the dealer didn't have one to look at. The Polaris will cruise at about 40 mph (I don't know if that is a good thing or not)

Thanks

I looked at the Kubota recently. I liked it's ground clearance.

I have 5 acres of lawn that I cut with a Kubota tractor and that thing is a running machine. All I have ever have to do is change the oil and sharpen the blades.

What brand, if any, of skid steers do you own?

I've found the Polaris to be very dependable. It also can carry as much as a 3/4 ton p/u.
Be cautious about the diesel as it may require a special fuel.
