I have the same machine. I love it you can ride hard on the trails it realy bites and is stable in hard cornering. power steering is AMAZING it soaks up so much handle jaring over choppy trails . not uncomfortable at all driving one handed going by another Wheeler signaling how many are behind me .
+Bradly Windsor I know what you mean it is nice having the power steering , I have a 2015 Polaris sportsman 570 EPS there is no comparison to my old 06 Polaris 330 magnum by the way I live in NJ and will be using my sportsman for snow plowing and pulling a small wagon
I just got a plow today for my 570. Still need to hook up winch and assemble plow. I got the 60 because it was only $15 more for me. Even though I have a super nice snowblower I thought this may be fun. Lol.
Does anyone besides me HATE the shifter on his 850 Sportsman..Always in a bind. One would think after 20 years of building these otherwise fine machines they would figure it out
I just bought mine they r working on getting it delivered. I noticed too that the gear shifter is very tough.they said it gets easier w time, which i think is not true
We have a 570 and also an 850. Both SP. Both have a different transmission. 570 shifts butter smooth, 850 fights a bit because the engine/tranny is tansverse.
My 2014 850xp has 4900 miles and is still tough to shift, been this way since new. I just thought it was mine for the longest time, but I was at the dealer looking at possibly trading it in on a new one, and it is the same. I decided to keep the one I have for a few more years.
My can am 1000 binds up all the time 2. I would rather use a old pick up to plow or use a large snow blower. My Can Am needed new steering after 2 seasons of plowing - Atv do not have large enough steering components to take the weight of snow plowing.
@@hitmhard going into my 4th winter this year as well. No issues. Honestly when you look at the 570, 570SP, 850xp, 1000xp and compare them , and all the Highlifter editios, as well as the CanAm's..... to the 850 SP, (H.O.) (the same bike we both have) it seems like these 850SP's were almost purpouse built for plowing. I know folks on forums who have torn their CanAm's and 1000's apart trying to plow. The 850SP just seems to be built better.... idk if they have a more meticulous group of guys on that production line who pay more attention to what they are doing compared to the other productio lines who have younger guys and gals who just want to do their 8 hours and GTFO of work. ... but the 850 SP seems to hold up better than most of the polaris products.
My dads got a 2005 polaris 500 with 2 inch lift and some 28 inch swamp lites and that fourwheeler is going its 15th year of plowing snow it gets beat on its got 11000 miles on it ive got a 2013 polaris 500 and i am saving up for a 800 because i would like to get a vblade boss plow for it
I have a moose plow on my quad now. However I'm trading this quad in to,get a newer sportsman. I'm so up in the air about getting the glacier system. The moose steel is so much heavier. I just don't know what to do. Opinions please.
+MRJOHNDEERE3720. :) oh yeah I know the Glacier is steel. I actually checked one out at the dealer last week. It's just so thin and lightweight. The moose is 11guage steel and the whole thing is heavy. I like the weight but I like the ease of the Glacier so I'm tossed between the two. Any idea what ur friend dislikes about moose?
If you're still on the fence, I just got my 2022 850 premium with eps and I'm not all that impressed... I mean its cool, I guess. Jusy another thing to break later IMO
I have 2016 Polaris Sportsman 850 SP with a Polaris 3500 HD Winch with Synthetic cable, and 60in Polaris Glacier Pro Plow, and KFI Winch Stopper. (This 11 dollar item has saved me so much headache).
