What Side by Side to get? ok update, I have a new toy!!!
« on: August 04, 2012, 11:22:08 PM »
As soon as I get my 4 wheeler back from a tune up. I will be selling it and looking to get a side by side. I was wanting to hear some feed back from people that have them.

I WILL NOT BUY POLARIS EVER AGAIN! So no need to suggest them to me.

I am really thinking a rhino or mule. 

Thoughts and Thanks

 :chuckle: I have ate to many polaris shop bills to ever own one again :tup: Anything will work better then any polaris I have ever owned.

This is not a topic to talk about polaris or what people think about them. They are junk to me and I WILL NOT OWN ANOTHER. So I need feedback on OTHER brands.

 :dunno: I don't have much use for one these days, but I've always thought that the Bobcat Toolcat was the most versatile when incorporating chores into the equation.

If you're looking for those lightweight fast types take a look at the ranger as well. Things are pretty fun. If you don't mind paying out the balls, and aren't looking for those light fast ones, we have a tough time killing gators! They are overpriced but they're also pretty simple to work on.

Anyone play much with Can-Am? I saw a few at the last sportsmans show.

I need something that will haul 2-4 people and maybe a critter or 2 in the back.

I get your point and thats why i kept it short when responding. I wouldnt buy a polaris quad but if I wanted a side by side id get a polaris hands down.

Kubota offers a diesel engine. Saw one last winter on tracks, looked like a solid ride.

We are currently having a debate about some kind of UTV for our archery club. I think a used Geo Tracker is the ticket. You can pick up a soft top for around a grand. Parts are VERY available and MUCH less than UTV parts. Plus you can take it to ANY Mech shop to have it worked on or serviced. 2 people are fine 4 would be difficult... Put a minispool in, some 30x950R15 mud tires and a trailer hitch and your good to go. The are so reasonable you could buy 2  for the price of a new UTV and have them built up.  :twocents:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
