A lot depends on what you want from it.
For carrying a few tools/a bit of fencing/bags of meal/taking the kids with you/checking stock, they are ideal, and with the full cab option warm and dry.
Moving stock, cattle men like them, but unless you've got a real good dog they are too slow and not nimble enough for sheep.
They are a bit heavy compared to a quad on wet ground.
The ability to carry more weight than a quad, and a cab, you would think they would be used for spraying but quads still seem preferred.
Around here there seems to be 3 main brands, John Deere, Polaris, and Kawasaki, although others are starting to appear.
For elderly or less able people they are ideal to just slid in, and with the ease of driving them, be still be able to go most places on the land.

Only my observations but round here I'd say they more common than quads now apart from like you say the really tight steep sheep stuff.

Polaris petrol will work with sheep and a okay dog .

The dogs the key, you cant spin a side by side round anywhere as tight as a quad, the fuel consumption seems savage on a petrol one worked hard, you may well have an old v8 range rover

A local ag dealer I do work for was saying last year I think he said they sold one quad the rest side by sides, but this year quads are making a come back. It could be down to price, Gators are £25+K

Fathers dog will pick ‘em out and take them down with a front leg grip without drawing blood. Good job because father is 67 and not as quick as he used to be . Best dog ever but he’s 9 now and slowing down. His half brother arrived this year and has started learning the trade. Big boots to fill though.

Same price as a base spec Dmax …. Crazy money

A heated cab and a long yomp back to the farm must have some influence

Never understood the pricing of quads and side-by-sides - a Jimmny is 23k with at least as many parts in it. Anything like a dmax would be so understressed on a farm, it'd last well (not as manuverable, but it'd do most obe better.

I see something on Olly Harrisons youtube about these little pick ups imported from Japan that are an cheaper alternative & can be specked with nobly tyres & go faster than 40kph
Basically a new Bedford rascal

A proper pickup couldn’t get to half the places a side by side can, and would make a huge amount of mess on ground the ATV passes over without breaking the surface.
(Don’t get me wrong, I think they are massively overpriced too!)

Mi serve per la campagna per percorrere sentieri stretti e salite sterrate ripide trasportando qualche attrezzo, legna o altro materiale utile, un mezzo robusto, affidabile, spartano, economico grazie
