Got the back window in just before riding on Saturday. Had a great ride. Thought this picture was worth sharing...

That looks like something you'd see in a brochure or on a commercial. Very nice!

Thanks RollingsFarms! That's what my wife told me. It was completely black on my phone when I took it. Didn't think it would turn out that good.

Great picture! I've got to spend a little time on mine this weekend as well. No picture though as I can never remember to take my phone with me.

Thanks TnWV. I'd love to see some action shots of the white lightning! Thanks again for all the feedback on the 900.

Weather was nice yesterday and I got a little riding in. Managed to get a few pics. Nothing great but gives you an idea of the kind of riding I use my Ranger for.






This is looking up a pipeline. I recently completed a trail that comes out about halfway down it. Not real steep but it leans right pretty hard. Fun to fish tail up it.






Thought I would test the suspension a little on a rock.











Playing on a creek bank. Pretty steep but I believe it would go right up it if there wasn't a drop off on the other side

Great shots! That creek bank looks pretty steep. I know pictures never do them justice. Looks like some fun terrain. Thanks for posting them up. Looks a lot like the terrain I'm in. I got to ride a little this weekend as well. Put about 15 miles on it Saturday. I cut my first little trail through the woods. Also, got to use 4x4 switch. Got a little too confident and decided to cross an innocent looking wet stream. Front went in and wasn't too bad, but the back tires went in and sank up to axle. I stopped and hit the 4x4 button. Front wheels started spinning and went no where. Luckily the fronts had enough a bite on the bank that in reverse it got the rear out out of the hole. I just sped through in reverse and she came on out. We had a blast though.

Ive read this comment on an article that they are not worth the cost because all they do is carry mud between paddles and take all your traction. How true?

The stock tires dig great in my opinion. I have had no traction issues and rarely use 4X4. My property is steep and nothing but red clay. My Ranger has as good of traction as any atv I've ever owned. That said, if you bottom out the skid pan or axles, your going to get stuck. I haven't done this yet but have only ridden on my property and so far have avoided areas I'm likely to get stuck.

The creek bank was pretty steep. The trail leading down there is no joke either. I videoed the ride down but decided to keep both hands on the wheel on the way back up. All those leaves makes things pretty slick.

Glad you made it out of the water hole without needing a pull. Time to get a winch!!
