2012 Polaris RZR 570 It is as narrow as a large displacement 4 wheeler and almost as nimble. Not tippy like the 50" utility SXS's. Has a low CG because the seats are on the floor pan. Enough bed space to haul a deer. I added a basket above the bed that mounts to the roll cage for extra storage. I also have a hitch hauler that I can use too. I built an Extreme Terrain ATV trailer copy of this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym6ne8lcDHw I've hauled 3 deer, trailer, 2 hunters, gear, blind, etc out of a steep valley on our lease with 6 inches of snow on the ground. I'm beyond pleased.


1994 Polaris 300 4x4 2-stroke. Simple, effective.

I have a 2016 Honda Pioneer 500 and the wife has a 2016 Honda Rancher 420 4x4. We usually ride at Windrock at least once a month, usually more during the warmer months.

Grizzly 700. Likes - Fast, good size (not too big, not too small), work horse. 4x4 with front and back locking differentials. Dislikes - none so far, oil filter a little hard to get to.

Kubota RTV-900. Has the three cylinder 326 diesel engine (just like my Kubota ZTR). Noisy, heavy, but sips gas, hauls a ton (literally) and goes anywhere.

2003 Yamaha Kodiak 450 4x4.
I put a 2008 Wolverine motor on it. Its a little top heavy with the 27" Bighorns on it. Like the automatic transmission. Wish it was EFI and IRS.

My wife bought me my first one last year. It is a 1998 Artic Cat. It needed about $75 worth of parts to fix it up. It has been wonderful to own.

Today I followed my friend on his Honda 500. I did okay, but had a feeling he was holding back. My problem is that i learned in KS and on farms. Was not used to going straight up and straight down. [emoji1787]

After months of hew-hawing around with the wife, I had an option; buy another truck or get a SxS. My 2004 Tacoma TRD has 190,000 miles, runs strong, and get me where I want to go. A SxS would give me some freedom I didn't have. So after looking at several brands and weighing the pros/cons of used vs new. My wife insisted on a 4-seater so the kids could ride with us. I started looking at the Kawasaki Teryx., T-4. Last July, I went on the TV Trader website and found the cheapest price, and took the price to my local dealer and they agree to match the price. So I found a company that gave me a 3% loan and purchased a 2018 Teryx-4 LE. My kids gave me the money to install a set of hand controls. Since then, I've sold a compound bow, some hunting equipment and odds things I no longer use and updated the Teryx with a flip-up Super-ATV windshield, a Harbor Freight 3500lb winch, side mirrors, and a turn signals kit that makes it road legal. During deer season, I road it to a couple of our farms we hunt; including one that is 24 miles from my house. Hoping to get some snow so I can play around.

2006 KAWASAKI 650 ATV 4x4 with locking 4 wheel differential. Had aggressive tires so would go and climb most anything. It had independent suspension for a nice ride.
Cons: It was a bit top heavy and had rolled over with me once and someone else on another occasion while slowly cruising along moderate hills. It was a big machine so if you were in tight quarters and needed to lift or slide the bike physically it was near impossible. If I had it to do over again I would go with Honda in the 400 range but no bigger than a 500. Easier to man handle if needed and I would probably go with a straight rear axle. As mentioned above the independent suspension was nice but I think the straight axle would give me a more solid feel for terrain in hunting situations. Just my opinion. Sold it a couple of months ago so currently I don't have anything.
