Thoughts on Polaris Ranger 500

Is this the full size or mid size?

I have a midsize and its pretty great. Highly recommend.

You will have a lot that will say you need a Mule, Kubota, Honda, etc.

Earlier last week I purchased a Polaris 900XP with the 1 bench seat in green. The power steering on these machines are kick arse. If you are looking to haul at least 3 people (yourself and 2 others) I would look at minimum of going with the 570 full size which is basically the same overall size as the 900 (less HP and no power steering for the most part). I was going to go with the 570 FS but after I added power steering the price was about 1K less than the 900 which has like 20-25 more HP and some extras. I can pretty much fit 3 adults across the bench seat same as per the 570 full size. I can put my dog box in the back bed and someone can sit in the bed if needed if I have to take myself and 3 others duck hunting. I really just duck hunt which I drive on a road / levee about 15-25 minutes depending on which blind I go to. I have already put about 60 miles since TUES riding in neighborhood. The turf mode is a nice feature. Polaris is running a pretty good deal on the 900. For a little more you get a lot more of a machine.

I don't think anyone would say you need a Kubota.

As for the 500, it's a good unit. Grease it grease it grease it.

Whenever I bought my 1000 I was surprised how low they were priced. Like 7k. For the midsize.

The 570 was like a grand more.
