I have a Kawasaki Teryx. 2017 I think. I use it for farming, hunting and trail riding. Never a problem. I go where the RZRs go on the trails, just not quite as comfortably. I like the straight sides compared to the sportier models. I slide by things that hang others up. Can haul 600lbs or pull 1200. Really handy storage areas behind the seats. Not pure utility nor sport, but can do both well. The seats are far more comfortable than those in a Ranger or Mule type UTV. Perfect hunting sxs in my opinion. You're close and welcome to try it out on my farm.

I had a Honda Pioneer 700 and if I was buying another utility type would get another one if not the 1000. My wife wanted us to have one more for play so I sold it to my nephew and bought a Honda Talon. It's a sport model and tons of fun but not for hunting. Best thing about the Honda is they're gear driven and no belts to slip.

Bought me a can am last week. Maybe we can get together on a ride sometime. Sorry OP, not trying to derail

These days several of the big names are neck and neck (for the most part) I think it comes down to personal preference as much as anything

It's a 2017 maverick 1000r. More for leisure than hunting/working

I have a couple 4 wheelers that does that kind of stuff
I have the multi choice Commander bet the Maverick will fly . This one does pretty good only an 800 though .

Sharp! Honestly when I test drove it I was underwhelmed. It was quick but but it topped out at 58. However I felt like it needed a new belt and a clutch kit for the bigger tires. Stock tires was 27" on this machine and now it has 30".
This work is almost complete and I think it will wake up a beast!

Sweet looking ride. They are too much for me . I need a stabilizer on mine hard to drive it wide open but I've been up to 50 with more petal just to unstable. Only thing I really don't like on mine is the centrifugal drive . Just got to get used to it .

Does yours come with both keys? Sounds like you can leave the performance key at home 🤣
