Putting in a plug for Artic Cat. We have an '07 250 ATV 2 WD, bought it new. Runs great, new battery every couple of years, change oil and filters regularly and have had zero problems--and it gets ridden hard (I have 3 sons age 17-22... ). Also have an '09 Prowler 700 XTX fuel injected UTV. Again--zero problems except my kids jumped it so many times it busted the Turf Saver differential... did some research and then put in a spool out of a lower level Prowler and it is bullet proof. Made in the good 'ol US of A.
In the market for an ATV/UTV. Knowledge Welcome

This guy knows what he's talking about. Honda's are great but the polaris machines are beasts. I play this game all day and would buy either but the Polaris is the way to go
Going to have to agree, sportsman seems like they are the best polaria for utility use. And I am a Yamaha only kind of guy. I've seen recons blow CV axles more then once
I got my 400ex brand new and haven't done anything but change the oil. She still runs hard after 12 plus years.
I will be getting a turbo maverick just a soon as i hit the lotto. You can get a clean 04 cobra for the price of one of those. I believe they are $23k new.
Looks wise I prefer my Polaris XP41K but I haven't driven a turbo maverick yet.
Recon is a 250cc 2x4 with shaft drive and a solid rear axle. There are no CV joints on a Recon......
I have a 15' Polaris scrambler 850 and it has way more power than needed and is very comfortable. I rode a 1000 and its retarded fast lol.
+1 for Rancher.
My dad ended up making the trade for the 2004 Rhino and I went down to check it out. I actually liked it a lot and the only thing I'd change is the aftermarket exhaust because it's stupid loud and change the lights to an LED light bar. My dog was loving riding in the back and the wife was keeping a low profile. I'm actually considering selling my two quads and buying this from my dad. Roll cage was rhino lined, had removable metal doors, aluminum wheels, winch, etc.
See my avatar. You can use it year round plus it's amphibious. 6 wheel drive, all terrain, and has a 2x2 receiver hitch. Top speed 20-25mph. You can also get a track kit for it, plus a plow.
