Thanks for all the repays. I'm looking for a utv because I've got kids. Also, There are a couple 4 wheelers at the camp, but no utv.
I'm looking for a good utv and trailer for under 10k. I'd prefer new, but I'd definitely get used.

I have a 2011 ranger 800 and love it. Lift kit, snorkels, wheels and tires. Runs like a champ. If you look hard enough, you can find great deals from people selling them. I have seen 800s a few years old with low hrs and miles for 6-8k.

this is why I got it, and it has been perfect. I like the Ranger and the seating ability, I can put my kids and wife in front with me and go.

I didn't get the crew, mainly because I use in woods and turning was a priority. I cant go everywhere you can go thru the woods in a 4 wheeler, but I can go most places.

Just told someone this yesterday

If you're gonna hunt with it...and plan to leave it basically stock... Maybe jumping up to a 27in tire at most. Go with the big red.

If you intend to trail ride it occasionally and might want a larger tire. The yamaha is the better choice.

If you will need to do everything the yamaha can with better towing. Get the ranger 800. 800 not 1000. Not 570. 800. The liberty motor and it's electronics are bulletproof. It does require greasing and different fluids... But when working at a Honda and yamaha dealership... I bought an 800 sportsman instead. You HAVE to do the simple maintenance. But if you do it works great.

The 800 Polaris and the 700 yamaha will both tow a 30ft 16 inch diameter tree through mud and muck with no problem. The difference is when you hit hard pack... The 800 can tow it at 40.

The big red...or whatever Honda has changed the name to these days... Is an awesome machine. But it is down on power. Least amount of maintenance of any of the side by sides though.

I have seen more and more kaw T. rex on the trails up here. Much cheaper and go everywhere all the others go. Impressive SxS. Ranger is tops though. I have an arctic cat and have no regrets. Can ams are always breaking axles up here though

I just bought the Polaris Ranger 500 Crew and it's plenty powerful enought to do what I want. The kids love it and is why I bought it. I paid under 10 for it and was a 2013.
