Polaris Ranger..

I don't have one...but I have had experiences with one. Went out to Ill. during the summer for a weekend to check out the area we were going to be hunting that fall. Anyways...to make a long story short...the guides would take us for rides in the ranger to show us stands and such. We ended up hauling the ranger back to camp twice...both times with the belt burnt off. The one time we were way back in a valley and had to hike back to get the truck and trailor.

This is my only gripe about Polaris products...don't like the belt drive. If it starts to slip (wear or gets wet) and your not in a location where you can stop and let it dry or cool down...your going to burn it right off. Then what? Buy a good set of hiking boots.

The new ranger 4x4 is shaft drive.

I like my friends Ranger, He has a farm, they got the new 4x4, We use that thing for duck hunting, NEVER got it stuck, we go off road all the time with it, cross streams, It goes forever, his dad uses it for everything else immaginable. Its a good machiene.
