Add John Deere Gator, Bobcat, and Kubota's models......



Who has 1 or more, .... and an opinion about either?

We have 2 Polaris Rangers at our duck camp and I think they are absolute horses. The gumbo we drive in is nasty, and these 2 beasts cannot be beat. We have pulled our Mules and Rhinos....a bunch.

That being said, my dad is shopping for a new buggy (had a 2 wheel drive snapper forever).....and has Kawasaki's Mule stuck on his brain. A couple of his buddies have them, but I am sold on the Polaris.

Our usages are very different, but he will be buying a 4x4....he works at his farm hauling, goofing off....and drives from the camp to his deer stand on pretty dry ground.................and my use is all in gumbo/mud.


Anyone really happy, really upset with their units?

He found a Kawasaki 610 for sale that was a good price....but backed off of it when he learned the engine was a 410cc. Wants a little bigger engine.........



Thanks in advance for insight......


Yes, i have scoured the comparisons on the internet.......

I'd probably get a Gator if I were him, it's designed for farm use.

Kubota is too heavy.

I like the Polaris and plan on getting one hopefully soon.

The Honda Big Red is nice but dear Lord is that thing wide.

Others, I don't know enough to respond.

my buddy has a RZR and he talks about how awesome it is. I have never ridden in it... Just going by his words.

my uncle has a ranger and it does everything we ask of it. he doesnt put it to the test too often so its hard to say what it can handle. My buddy has a rhino and it is a freaking tank. Its still under 15 hours but it has been some VERY hard hours. he rags it left and right and it just keeps on ticking like nothing.

Polaris Ranger


My hunting buddy has one, I'm suprised he follows me (Honda Rancher 350: older, lighter carburated one) in some of the places I go. The ranger looks big and heavy, but I have never seen him stick it.

i just went through this same bit of research and we decided to go with a ranger, even though we bought a used one


my buddy who sells several different brands told me the polaris was hands down the best


the mules are solid, but a little slow for my taste

we got a polaris ranger 700

We have 3010 Mule and 4010 Diesel Mule. The 4010 is unbelievable. We use the 4010 more as a workhorse. They are great for the camphouse as well as the farm.
