Polaris 500 crew

grouseridge · Jul 17, 2011

I was looking at Rtv crew (My Kubota G2160 is great) the Mule crew and found

a 500 crew and all I can say the Polaris is a blast to drive. 48mph and the rev

limiter kicks in and true 4wd and pulls like a beast.

The only down side is the bed does not extend like the Rtv and Mule.

Hope it is as trouble free as the G2160

I have a Polaris and consider it one of the best ATV's that has ever been made. Polaris is going to get bashed here. Polaris always does. And it won't be by Polaris owners. Watch 'em go here. They have entertained me in the past.

I bought a Polaris Ranger 800 XP this year and am very happy with it. It has climbed, hauled and pulled anything that I have asked it to do. It will certainly run faster than I usually need. My Wife and I can't figure out how we have done without it for so long.

all i can say about polaris is i had one. there great ride i had it for 6 months replaced both front tie rod end and brake pads put 300 hrs on it before i sold it.as long as you not going down any steep hills you be fine the forthere the faster zero hold back. and remember polaris 4 wheel drive does not kick in unless the back wheels are spending 20 percent faster than the front wheels try that goin down hill

building a rops for a razor right now and after cutting into this thing it's a wonder anyone hasn't been killed with one yet.the metal is gauged metal every weld has cracked paint on it meaning it has been stressed out.the guy who had it rolled it over and now the frame is bent atleast 2"out of wack. the same guy owned a 700 xp and he put it through **** and it survived for a year or so til it died .we was surprised to see it make it that far because he was really hard on it.they do have a smooth ride but thats all i can say good about them. i still always wanted to get one .i don't know why but i just did although i never did get it i still might get one in the future .if the frame or welds was to break on me i can fix them but if your not a welder you might be in a bind.i have a rhino and i like havin the switch to selct what i want to drive in 2/3 or 4 wheel drive .i rarely drive in true 4 wheel drive because it wants to go straight all the time and is way to hard to turn so i just keep it in 3 wheel drive .

Yes, speed will kill and hope everyone that drives these things will have sense in how fast and what a beast they are.

My in-laws have a new 800 crew I have rode it around seems to have plenty power the crew part high centers alot. I would recommend them to someone I wouldnt buy used anymore with all the offroad parks around there aint know telling what they been threw(unless u know the person your buying it from). I have a ArticCat 650 prowler(bought new) has 1500 hrs havent had any issue with it and use it on the farm everyday.
