Thread: Side by sides Polaris ranger, CF Moto etc.

  1. #1

    Side by sides Polaris ranger, CF Moto etc.

    I'm thinking about a Polaris Ranger 500 or maybe CF Moto U force 600 for hunting and homestead work like snow plowing and such vs a 4x4 quad.

    Anybody here run a side by side on their property?

    I do not (yet). But both Mrs Inor and I want one so bad we can taste it. That is definitely high on the "to get" list once the economy fully collapses in the next year or so and they come back to reality price-wise.

    I really like the Ranger 500 it will fit on my 6x10 trailer base model no roof no windshield is just under 10k for 2022 and you pretty much have to order one as their seems to be a shortage of them since china bug bullshit.

    CF moto is a jap junk company but.... I hear they have taken the ball and are on a full run with it. You get roof windshied half doors and mirrors for around 11 to 12 k and reviews seem pretty good on them.

    What brand and size are you looking at Inor?

    The one that we looked at a couple months ago was a Gator. It did have a top, no windshield and no mirrors and was about $21K. We were looking at the diesel, but still, that is just WAY too much money!

    I have not driven a new Polaris yet. But our friend Eve who owns the cattle ranch we help with has one. It has been a beast. It gets abused HARD by a lot of different drivers and has held up pretty well. The only thing that does seem to wear out frequently is the clutch. It seems about every 3 years, they have to replace the clutch. But again, it is ABUSED and is used in a lot of ways it was never designed to be used. So I think that is more a function of how the vehicle is abused and not so much the quality of the vehicle.

    In my case, a diesel would definitely be worth an extra couple grand but not TEN grand.

    We bought a used Cub Cadet 6 years ago. We looked at Gators at the time with basically the same options and the Cub Cadet was $2500 plus cheaper. I have no idea about the newer models. I know ours does everything we need to do. I have hauled way more in it then I thought it could possibility haul. In 6 years I 've changed the oil greased it and just replaced the battery. I've heard a lot of good things about Polaris.

    I can't afford a two seater, but just found this for $500. 51 Fergy TO20 w/52 TO30 engine. Older resto, been sitting in a barn, should be running good with $200 more into it including new battery.

    That will be splitting duty with my 1940 9N Ford. I've just got acres, to restore.

    I'm looking at gas golf carts so the elderly can secure my perimeter when I'm lazy.

    Hawg,

    The Kubota RTV X900 Diesel has been earning its keep at Slippy Lodge for almost 2 years now and it has been worth every penny.

    Looked HARD at the Polaris family of SXS and in the end, legroom and a Diesel engine was the deal breaker.

    Carries up to 1100 lbs in the bed and rated to tow 1300 lbs. I've moved my heavy trailer around with the Kubota and it does it easily.

    It ain't fast/quick but I ain't into speed anymore. Low and Slow is how the Kubota rolls and it gets the job done. 4WD is more than capable. If I get 20 years out of it, I'm good to go!
