My buddy has a 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500, and he bought it brand new. he installed a custom made 3 poing hitch onto it and mounted a winch on the rack to lift his implements. He has a 1 bottom plow he pulls, a ripping spring tooth bar thats 5 feet wide, and some other attachments that he uses. he uses his machine HARD, and maintains it when it needs work. Its been very little as far as repairs go, but he has twisted off both rear axles! (Polaris rep had never ever seen on of their huge rear axles twisted off!) LOL
ATV is great, but is limited. Most atv's will have twice the HP of a compact tractor. Like a Sportsman 700cc is like 50+ HP. The new Can-AM Outlander 800cc is 80HP! :thumbsup:
