Looking for an approximate cost of CV boot replacement

I am getting a wide range of cost estimates for replacing the CV boots on my Kubota RTV. Could some of you out there give me a price you paid for this service on a "per boot" basis? I know these prices will vary depending upon a number of variables, but if I could get some input, it would be very helpful. Thank you.
 
I replaced my own back when I owned an RTV, but many many years ago...... I had the Kawasaki store replace my one front boot on the Mule I had torn with a stick, ( no stickstoppers back then on this one) and it was a little less than $100. Expensive for back then. There was no damage to the joint itself neither. ( They saw me coming I guess) ... If I still had my workshop time book I could tell you on the RTV but let it go with my machine.
What were the estimates you got ?

$900 to replace axles and boot. Said replacing boot without replacing axles would require more time and hence, it wouldn't make sense not to replace both entire units.
 
Mine was a little more than that (like $1050 as I recall) but the KTAC insurance paid all but the deductible. But dealer tech told me same thing, quite a bit cheaper to replace axles as they are already assembled with the boot.
 
Do a search for a complete axle for your unit. Unless it's a split boot you will need to remove it anyway. I got a set of axles about the same price as boots and have had no problems with them.
