You mean Yamaha's not the only kind they make?? Man I gotta get out more!

Polaris use to have a problem with belts slippin when they got wet but they seem to have that under control now. What ever kind you get you defiantly want to get a winch.

I ridetwo camo brahma's with 400grams ofthinsulate.

How much do those normally run? What kinds of things would you use a winch for? Thanks

400ex, don't use it too hunt too much.. I can usually take my truck pretty far.. When I can't I borrow the farmers Kubota...

I got a camo Polaris 700EFI with bumpers and a winch. You are doing yourself a big favor by getting the Polaris. Alot of guys (myself included) waste time and money taking those baby steps with other brands until they finally arrive at the top. Along the way they just don't realize it but once atop the mountain they can look down and see. Nothing beats the Polaris AWD system and descent control.

I have a few guys around with other lesser brand ATVs and I outkill them deer wise 3-to-1 easy. (plus have to drag them out of the mud and woods occasionally to boot)

In my area(NE MS) 2008 700 Grizzly $6,000 w/o power steering $6,300 with.
I used mine for loading deer, pulling limbs off food plots, unloading and loading thingson trailer, raising the walls on my shop and numerous other things. Once you have one you'll wonder how you ever made it without one

I bought a windshield for it, along with handwarmers, front bumper, and front/rear hand rails. Those handwarmers sure are nice when heading out on the bay ice fishing!

Man you're right about wasting time and money on lesser bikes but you need to make that final step and come on up to the Yamaha level.

SHOE-DA-BAKER

It seems like you got all the bases covered. I don't know to much about ice fishing I went a couple of times with my brother in Mich. We don't have a big call for that down here.
