My New 2005 Camo Yamaha Rhino

I do not know about the 450. I have had zero problems so far with my Rhino. I have about 50 hours and 420 miles. I bought a plow and winch but did not get to use it much this winter.

I am very happy I bought the Rhino. It has been very realiable and fun.

As far as I know, the digital dash is still an option and is not standard.

Hello fellow Rhino owner, nice job with your thoughts. I agree with it all. We have about 100 hrs on ours, no problems so far!

Get the Digital meter kit, works great and as easy to install.

Congrats,
Malvern

My RTV dealer seems similar to yours.

My dealer wants near MSRP on 1 year demo & used models.

I just ran into him at a farm show and told him about my various purchases (none of which included him). I hope he opens up because I really like Kubota equipment.

I looked at the new Ranger today.I think it will be a tough decision for me between the Rhino and the Ranger.As I said earlier i saw the Rhino last week.I like the Ranger bench seat,easier to slide in and out than a bucket seat,and seating for three.I liked the underhood storage.It seems stabler than the Rhino,with a wider stance meaning not so tippy.Of course you can go out and add aftermarket wheels and spacers to your Rhino to cure that,$$$$$,advantage Ranger.The locking rear Dana spicer is a plus too.The brakes are stellar.The engine braking sucks compared to the Rhino.I was quoted $11,067 OTD foir the XP 700 EFI. and $10,367 for the 4x4 with the 500 efi. Gonna take some time to figure this one out.

They can do better on that price. I paid $10,580 out the door and that included the power dump on a 700 XP.

Well,ended up going Rhino.The cost was the final factor.The Rhino 450 was $7,600.00 OTD the best the Polaris dealers would give me was $10,350.00 for a 500 OTD.The $2,700.00 difference made the decision much easier.I am impressed with it so far,very tight machine,no phantom squeaks or knocks.Time for accessories now......(8
