Polaris Ranger 1000 or Kawasaki mule pro fxt

Just sold my Ranger 570, need a little more room because all 3 boys will hunt this year. I am considering the Ranger 1000 and Mule Pro. Heard horror stories from some on here regarding Honda’s.
Had 570 for 3 years, 1300 Miles, 195 hours...it was a good one and has me leaning Polaris currently
We use it heavily in deer season in some pretty dang muddy shiitake then 2-3 times the rest of the year...
Any feedback would be appreciated

I have neither so I cannot offer first had experience. I have a Kawasaki 650 and it has been as good as you can hope for with regard to reliability. It’s 11 years old and only had 1 belt put on it. Runs perfect. I am going to buy a Mule pro fxt this year because I am in the same boat you are in. When I bought my wheeler I went into the rear shop to ask the mechanics about which ones had the fewer problems. I took their recommendation and bought the Kawasaki. It was a leap of faith because no one was running that brand amoungst the hunters I was with. So glad I did. Several other guys are now running them with similar results. Good luck with your choice

Thanks for replies guys.
All the guys use Polaris where I hunt and with pretty good luck as well. I am still open to Kawasaki, as I have read/ heard good things as well
Big purchase for me so trying to ge open minded and thorough in research prior to purchase in hopes it will be the last for at least a very long time

All the rental companies we deal with have Kawasaki mules. I've seen 2 Honda's and that's it. For years renting them. Never a Polaris.
We beat the shite out of them with work.
I love em. Never used in the woods.
Hope that helps sone.

I’m no mechanic but have gotten acquainted with Polaris changing engine oil, front and rear differential oils.
Anyone have any experience doing these on Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT?

Love my Ranger. Get EPS. You won't regret it.

No doubt... my 570 full size had no power steering and being shorter it was fine, but 8I will definitely get it with the longer crew cab

I have the Mule 610 and it's the most dependable SXS in its class. My neighbor has the Mule pro fxt and it is incredible. Simply built but rides like a sedan and pulls like a tank. I have nothing negative to say about the ranger but Kawasaki is the way I'd go.

The more I research and hear testimonies from owners, the more I lean towards the mule FXT
Think I will need to lift it a little as The Ranger 1000 sits higher stock
Gotta figure out the package I want as well.
Sales rep saying something about a fuse box needed to be added for winch and Ranch edition already has that....sounds like sales pitch to me but who knows
