Polaris Ranger Demo on YouTube

[Tractors4u]

A few of us dicussed in the thread "UTV Comparison" making demo videos of our vehicles. I made one today and it is now on YouTube. I started out wanting it to be about 5 minutes. Well after all was said and done, it was twenty minutes. This was without really doing any editing and included my daughters commentary when I was preparing for the next part. YouTube only allows 10 minutes and 100 megs. So here it is; YouTube - Polaris Ranger 700XP Demonstration

I'd say that's the nicest vide of a ranger I've seen. Very nice machine indeed.

Thank-you, really enjoyed the video. I expect to turn the news on someday and see your daughter sitting next to Katie Couric.

Your daughter did a great job as did the Ranger. That was a great video and the 9+minutes flew by. It didn't seem that long but next thing I knew the video was over. That is some quality entertainment there.

Did you demo any other UTV's before you bought this Ranger? Are there any options you went with or wish you went with (skid plates and such not)? One more thing, you mentioned all the storage compartments. Could you take some pictures of them as that is something that I am curious about as I love our Traxter because it has a huge storage box in the front that was not common for an ATV at the time (and maybe it still isn't). That thing has proved to be extremely useful as it is usually holding a chain (You never know when you will need a chain), clevis, couple cans of wasp spray, gloves, Bombardier supplied tool box, a few shed antlers that haven't found their way out yet as well as a few other things and there is still room.

Thank you for taking the time to film and edit this video.

One more thing, does the tailgate lift off like the old pickup tailgates or what happened when you were trying to open it to dump. I know it was under pressure so you would have to struggle but why did the left side come loose?

At the time I had a 6X4 Gator and I test drove a Gator HPX as the XUV had not been released. I really wasn't impressed with the ride of the HPX, it was rough. It seemed well built though. I had driven also driven a diesel Mule some at work and it was Ok, but I didn't thing it was as trail oriented as the Ranger. I had my decision narrowed down to the Ranger or the Kubota RTV 900. The 900 is a beast. It is built like a tank and I liked the hydraulic dump. It came down to what I would be using it mostly for and that was for trail and fun. The RTV was just too much for trail riding.

One more thing, you mentioned all the storage compartments. Could you take some pictures of them as that is something that I am curious about as I love our Traxter because it has a huge storage box in the front that was not common for an ATV at the time (and maybe it still isn't).

In my original video I showed all of the storage compartments. I had to cut that out to make the video small enough to show on YouTube. Instead of pictures, I will load the beginning segment in it's entirety.

Yes the tailgate does detach like on a pickup truck. That dirt was pushing so hard against the tail gate that I was pulling really hard and up some and it came off. Nothing broke, it was just in how I was pulling on it. That was the first time it had been removed.

Unfortunately I had to cut a lot of the Katelyn commentary out to shorten the video. Some of it is really funny. I thhink I created a monster.

tractor4u,

Good video, Great Commentary person, Katelyn made it perfect. Tell her that Two Guns would love her to do our RTV video one day in our swamps here in Louisiana. Our children is grown & gone, so I cannot drive and film also, plus, I donated my video camera to someone that had a newborn, so one day, I will replace it. Only pics taken are on the Cuddebacks for the deer.
Them 589's is the stuff for the utiltiy vehicles. We are running 27" 589's on our RTV's .... and love 'em !!!!

Tell Katelyn that Mrs. Two Guns enjoyed the video also, she done a great job !!!
