re: Looking at different Polaris Ranger models. Your advice requested

I bought a 900 crew on Dec 31.

Have been super pleased with it so far. As states turning radius sucks.

Big differences in 800 vs 900 is engine size and location. In the 900 the engine is further back which makes heat less of an issue I. Summer for those riding in back. Also bigger issue for me was with the weight shifted further back IMO didn't need power steering like in the 800 due to less weight up front. That saved $1500.

Diesel I thought long and hard about but it's not turbocharged so its not like buying a truck motor. Speed is ok but much louder and takes longer to get to top speed. The noise was my reason for not getting it when deer hunting. However my farm diesel tank would have liked it!

I spent a few months researching e mail me if you have more questions.
