Price is misleading. Actually $65k base ( http://sherp.ru/en/sherp/ ) Still badass.
The article says «$50K in roubles» — the Russian-language site quotes 3.85 millions Russian roubles, and right now it is possible to exchange $50 000 in cash to 3850000 ₽ in cash.
Any information on the 4-wheel drive system? Is it an electronic limited slip differential or does it have actual differential locks (rear and maybe front)?

I believe the low price tag is a result of 1. Low cost of manufacturing labor 2. Less strict regulation. Making this road legal or even just legal in any western country would cost a lot.

That said - since this is using Kubota engine - you can get an actual Kubota tractor with twice the horsepower in this price range. For 60K MSRP you can get a tricked out top of the line Kubota Mudder which is pretty awesome and way more practical.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why would you swap anything made by Renault into anything?
This was my thought as well. I had a roommate in college that was a mechanic and engineer. He LOVED these cars, but said, "Fuck all if they're not the hardest car to get to parts for and they're right expensive as shit." The only upside is their engines are incredibly reliable.
Reminded me very much of the movement of a Bobcat loader. I know several guys (contractors) who could rip it up in this thing if it has similar controls.
