Poloaris ranger vs Kawasaki mule

Assuming rough terrain and lots of use -- Polaris.

Left both and went back to Honda in the last 3 years. Best decision I ever made. Have no idea why I was ever so stupid to leave Honda to begin with. I knew better. Damn advertising and peer pressure cost me thousands...….again.

I put the poly aftermarket dump bed on my Honda. Same capacity as the others. I also did that with my Mule because the metal one rusted out so quick.

My thoughts exactly

i love riding around in my FIL's ranger high lifter. but mane that thing is LOUD! I dont htink i would want one for hunting. i would want gears to keep the RPMs and noise low

The new mule is the more reliable unit and to be honest with you they are currently eating up the market share from a brand that has been stagnant for years.

If they still made an 800 Ranger that's what I would buy, but they don't.

Have 1000 motor in my general, power is absolutely amazing. But even with regular maintenance I don't feel like it's going to hit the high mileage of the Japanese brands. Oil analysis on the motor shows great wear no issues but it just feels loose.

What are you actually going to be doing with the bike?

Unless you're going to need to run 28in tires, just get the pioneer 700. It's low on power, but it doesn't break.

If you are cool with just enough power to turn 30s. The Yamaha Viking is a great unit. Very reliable.

Comparing the 570 and 900 ranger to the kawi, go kawi all day every day.

Ranger 1000 vs Yamaha 850 or Honda 1000...

I'd go Yamaha then Honda then Polaris.

This is coming from someone who has all except the Kawasaki.

I don't know if they're still made but you used to be able to buy bronze inserts that had grease fittings in them so you could Grease the bearings.

I mean you can still buy a Viking which is just a heavily armored rhino

Better skid plates better axles better fuel pump design and a better driver position
