SxS potential purchase, where to begin research?

[MHWASH]

I'm considering buying a 50" SxS for trail riding and snow plowing.  I currently use a ATV for this, but am considering a SxS for the weather protection and comfort for me and the wife.

Is there a good SxS based Forum, like Hunt-Wa, to gather info?

 I'm sure many others I have always for the most part owned Polaris sxs

A 50" SxS is easy in my opinion......Honda pioneer 500.  Reliable, plenty of power for two people and gear and meets the 50" requirement for most trails in Idaho.  Can be made street legal in Washington too.  I will be purchasing one in the coming years to to add to my rolling stock.  I own a 2016 pioneer 1000-5 and love it, except for the 63" width which is limiting for trail riding Idaho.

I had a pioneer 500 and it was a good machine. Wanted something with more power and more comfortable so got a yamaha wolverine X2. the pioneer is a little rough riding but guys are putting walker evans shocks on them and say it makes a world of difference. They are little billy goats.

One of my questions is whether or not a 500 is sufficient. My current atv is a 750, which is more than adequate, almost over kill.

I assume it’s not 50”? Does Cann Am make a 50”?

We bought a Pioneer 500 this year. Overall it’s a great little machine, very capable in snow and in gnarly terrain. A little under powered in the low end, hard to keep your speed up in steep snowy stuff with 2 adults, but not too bad. I think it’s just designed to be ridden at higher rpms. It’s pretty basic, I think we’ll be upgrading to a 700 with power steering eventually. Not a ton of space for people or gear, but the small size makes it pretty handy for loading/unloading and for tight trails

It got a 2004 Honda rubicon 500 that easily carries me, my son and all our gear anywhere we want to go with more power than a guy needs.   It is not a speed demon but it will flat out work.  If you want to run the dunes at 50mph I would not buy the pioneer.

my cousin has a rubicon and I had the pioneer 500, i dont know if gearing is different but his rubicon seemed like it had alot more power for both being 500. My yamaha wolverine X2 is a 847 and is perfect, not a speed demon but tops at 54 and is comfortable. Another cousin had the 50" polaris trail rzr, it was a nice looking machine. Think it was a 900.

I want a trail machine than can also serve as a plow. I plow sidewalks in town for guns and hunting money, don't think that will fit on sidewalks or trails.

Robbing the city liberals of their anti gun money to buy guns.
I like it.
