I am looking at these three models to get into a utility vehicle. I was just looking for experiences anyone might have with them. I know the ranger 500 has been talked about on here both good and bad. The Cub has the best warranty 2 year on engine (Kohler Command so I doubt if that will be needed and 2 years on the whole machine) and the local dealer has really good service (Week test drive to make sure it fits what you want it for. The Treker looks to be the heaviest built with 20 horse honda motor, electric bed lift, $500 of accessories to boot. Don't know much about the Polaris the local dealer sucks for service but I have found a dealer about 1 hour away that has a really good price on the ranger 500 4x4 and is really has given some good info. The price on the Ranger puts all these in the same price range. I just wanted to get some opinions out there. The new Cub 4x4 with the sealed CVT seem to be a hot item around here. Any thoughts or opinions?

WOW - came across your message and I'm in a similar situation though just started looking. I was disappointed to see that there were no responses yet. Have you learned anything since your post or made any decisions that you can share? My use would be fairly light on only a small 7 acre "ranchette" though I do occasionally do things like pull weighted chain link across some pasture areas to smooth before and after seeding. Hope to hear from you and others soon!! Thanks.

I have found a great price on a treker so I will probably go that way, but the Cubs are very nice machines with 2 year warranty on all parts and engine. I have talked to more polaris dealers etc to get the type of warranty that cub and land pride gives you when you purchase machine is an extra 400+, seems that the ag dealers that handle the Cub and Land Pride machines are more service oriented and will deal with you more then the powersports dealers as well, just my two cents but I would look at the land pride for heavier duty jobs but wouldn't be scared to go with a cub at all.
