toughest drivetrain of any side by side or 4 wheeler

not saying Honda's not good
but Polaris has a better side by side and more comfortable 4 wheeler and is tougher for the way we ride. deepwater all the time

I am glad you are having luck with the rangers. I can introduce you to a double handful of my camp mates that have had nothing but headaches from them. There is nothing out there better when they are going strong. Maybe its the black gumbo mud that gets them. We have had a terrible time with axles, belts, and the methanol gas seems to not be friendly either. Give me some advice

1999 an older 4 trax is 1 of the best 4 wheelers ever made for toughness. but they ride and pull like s***, and they are only 2 and a half wheel drive .

All I know is mine has a bazillion really hard miles on it and still has the original spark plug in it. Damn thing looks like mega hell but it runs great. Fuel lines are finally starting to fall apart though.

You've got to take care of anything no matter what color it is. They can't blame it on the mud cause i don't think it can be as bad as what i'm in. Yea you have to wash that shite off before it fricks up the shite but everybody knows this. As far as the gas i'm pretty sure you mean Ethanol & it's bad to everything

put a good clutch kit on home if you are in clay or have big tires. heel clicker is the brand I recommend. We never really have axle problems because we check our cv boots everytime we ride. usually do not have Cv problems unless CV boot gets torn.

used startron for the ethanol problems. or non ethanol fuel

when I can get on a computer I will post a thread of how to maintenance them regularly. where to get the parts online and how to do it and what to look 4. I will do 1 for each major 4 wheeler in side by side.

Asking about the towing capacity the ranger 500 is 1250 lbs. a 2013 2 door jeep wrangler is 2000.

Polaris also makes a diesel and that's one bad sumbitch!

We have 2 polaris ranger 700's (older) that we beat the heck out of... And run thru rice fields, soybean fields, etc.... They are beasts. We have burned up Mules' and Rhinos. No competetion. Not a fair fight. Honda and Kubota too heavy.

Go Honda for 4Wheeler
Go Polaris (big engine) for SideBySide

I like the mules, but I don't own a side by side so who knows.
