The Garage Thread: Tractors and UTVs

Can't go wrong with either Polaris or Honda. 3 things I wish I had done on my Ranger. #1 real glass front and rear windshields, I got the Plexiglas and they're all scratched to hell. #2 windshield wiper. #3 power steering.

If it were me I'd go with whatever dealer makes you feel more comfortable as they are both excellent and proven machines. Maybe location as well? Who's closer for service, etc.

For god sakes do NOT go electric-----geezus! You're looking to make your life easier --- lol

Agree on power steering glass windshield and windshield wiper’s, I would definitely add to it a electric lift for bed. Load the bed up with “whatever” it gets real heavy and hard to dump with brute strength. I’ll never buy another UTV without one. I got cheap and got plexiglass rear and works fine but hard to see out at times. A 500 is all you need my 1000 is nice when running the back roads because you can hit speeds of 65mph but I use mostly for work.

Agree with the 1000
My 570 will go 52mph with my summer wheels and tires, and 48mph with my hunting setup.
Dump box would be key as well. Honestly, I don't use mine dump box much, I use my FEL on my tractor for that. I can see where it would be necessary if you use it a bunch.

Dude why is this stressing you so much? It should be fun!



I learned a crapload from this thread.

Me too. For the money it's hard to beat the ranger. Although the kabota 1100 with the snow blower is the shizzellel.

It does look sweet. And would save me a $hitton if that was all I needed. It has a front PTO right?

Yes. It's got an adaptor you use.

Ever wonder why you can find so many blowers that can hook on to the back of a tractor so you can blow in reverse?

I'm going to doing something similar as you in a few years. Just figuring out the spot I want to be in. I want more snow. My sister is in the middle of it now. Watching their mistakes is very helpful.

Yea I was in same boat when I was looking. But decided on a utv with a suspension because messing around in the woods…it’s just better. It’s all a trade off, the Kabota at least when I was shopping didn’t have independent suspension so I opted for a Can Am. But boy I really wanted that Kabota definitely more rugged but was worried about the weight and suspension fit in the woods.
