Default RE: ATV, 4 wheeler, quad, whatever you call them

1999 Polaris 425 Magnum 4x4
2004 Polaris Sportsman 400 4x4
2005 Polaris Ranger 4x4
2005 Kubota RTV 900

I like the dependability of all my Polaris's. The automatic transmissions,on demand 4 wheel drive mode, very good ride.They do everything I ask of them.Cost $4300(Magnum 425) $5200(Sportsman 400)

The Kubota is fairly new to my collection. It is more of a workhorse than a playtoy. It's little 3 cylinder diesel engine performs well, the power steering is really nice to have, it's effortless to steer. The RTV 900 is mostly made of sheet steel (unlike my Ranger), it has an hydraulic bed dump which is pretty neat. The down side of it is that it has a very rough ride due to it's leaf spring suspension, it's hydrostatic drive will dump you out if you let of the accelerator to quickly, it's top speed is 25 mph. Cost $ 11,000

I truly love the Polaris Ranger 4X4. It does well for fun and also for working around the ranch. It, like the ATV's has a real good soft ride( the rear suspension is adjustable),has a 1000lb bed capacity and can tow a 1500 lb trailer.I have towed a 16ft trailer with it with no problems.It has on demand 4 wheel drive and a rear differential which can be switched from limited slip to locking with a flip of the switch. Although not needed alot it will exceed speeds of over 40 MPH. I equipped this one with a fiberglass cab and glass windshield which folds out(great I might add in cool weather and rainy days). Cost $11,300
