Looking to get a side by side soon. Mainly for hunting and working around 10 acres. Leaning towards the Can Am because the HP is higher and towing is 2000 lb vs 1500 for Honda and Polaris.

Looking at the lowest end one under 10k.

Any thoughts on which is better?

Can-am doesn't have much of a bed. So for working around the house it's not the best.

I was comparing them also. The can am looks sharp but I feel like they're over priced.

He's probably looking at a Defender, which is only 1.5"x.5"x.5" smaller than a Ranger.

Yea...looking at the defender. It's only been out a few years but looks awesome. Polaris 900 around here is not 9-10k.

The honda 700-4 really caught my eye with the jump seats so that it can go from 2-4 person plus still have use of the bed when 4 aren't needed. Also isn't as long as traditional four seaters.

I've had both and the Defender is the better bike to me. Power steering is better. has a smoother ride, and the bed is bigger. Plus, you have more room on the inside than the Polaris to me.

If it's for work and hunting I'd go Polaris if I had to choose from those two. I have one for the same reasons and I went Kawasaki. I have 0 regrets. My step father bought a pioneer 2 months after I got mine and it's been in the shop twice already. Can Am if you want to be the big dog on the trail and in the mud.

Roseland and Slidell come to mind.
