The specs I posted came from Kubota's website. They may have revised the brochure or the website. In no way did I intend to start a war on which vehicle is stronger or better. The Ranger to me was a good compromise between the Rhino and the RTV.

Cool ride! I have two friends who have always been die hard Polaris fans and they have spent tens of thousands over the years on Polaris units. They are always impressed with the cutting edge technology of their units. The only "but" would be that they both would also highly recommend that you buy the extended warranty for your Ranger. Of all the units they have had combinded, they have never had one that didn't have to spend some time in the shop. They both still like Polaris, but they now just consider it part of they buying price to add a 3 or 5 year warranty. When their warranty is up, they trade. Good luck! Let us know how it works out for you.

This is only my second Polaris. My first was a 1995 Sport 400 with the 2 stroke engine. My only problem with it was the reverse limiter went out on it and the fact that it really enjoyed fouling plugs. I never went any further than my front yard without an extra spark plug. I hope this one holds up. I plan on getting the extended warranty.

That's the same reason I went with the Ranger, its the best combo of work and play. I've hauled over 20 loads of dirt and gravel in my XPand pulled many logs. The best part is loading up the kids and going for a ride and with the top and windshield rainy days aren't a loss either. The PRC is full of great advice and ideas for add on's /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I just re-read my post. I didn't intend to sound negative, I just thought I'd pass on what my buddies who live and breathe Polaris tell me. My intent was only to try to possibly save you future money. It's hard to argue with the technology that Polaris has and their abilities. As long as my buddies were not footing the bill, they still love their Rangers. So far Polaris has not given them any grief on using their warranties. Still, you gotta give us some action pics of that beast!! I'm really jealous of the fuel injection!!

I didn't take your post negatively. Polaris gives you a standard 6 month warranty, but I will be leaving for Iraq in 6 months and will be gone for a year. I plan on getting the extended warranty so that when I getting back I will still some warranty left.
