Roger that. I know that in summer when I am out working near the tractor or excavator, I often jump in for a few minutes just to cool off, makes a big difference. Thanks.
Not sure if it would fit better based on what I have seen and heard on the comparisons. Nice to have such a vast database of blogs, forums, videos etc to start with. Thanks.
The common thread in all the stuck footage is operator error, not the machine. The only thing the Polaris can do different from what I've seen is get you stuck quicker.
You know I can't agree with that man... When this slick clay gets wet, it is very EASY to get stuck... And yes, EOSJOE has it right too, tires are huge. I am pulling earth cutting machines with the Branson, where any of my previous tractors with R4's would have just spun, packed the lugs, and slid back down hill!
Bro i have owned Polaris Rangers over the years. I now own the 2019 1000 single cab fully dressed camo. I also have the 54 inch light bar across the front. I have no complaints awesome machine period!
Kapper Outdoors I would also recommend if you are buying a winch go with the rope instead of cable. I was a little skeptical at first but now I am a believer after using the heck out of it. If you have ever had a cable stab your hand trying to help wind one back up you’ll know what I mean. Secondly it is more user friendly.
Get the cab and climate controll. The hot, rain and cold days of production and fun make the financial upgrade worth it buddy. You will have to hide the keys from Mrs K. or it will be in use. Your more likely to get quality meals in an ac cab when building food plots and water holes. Get the yet cooler tossed in to close the deal after all the haggling on your trade in, remount the winch, light bars and camo wrap.
As others have stated I’d look at the Honda pioneer. I own a Ranger 900 XP with full insulated cab and my biggest complaint is the stock clutch Polaris uses. I added a Duraclutch to mine which greatly improved the feel of the throttle at lower speeds.
Did some reading on Honda, sounds like they are coming on pretty strong but not quite there yet. I don't like how the 4wd switches on the Honda, I've had both manual and auto switching, and I love the auto push button switch, it is a dream. Thanks.
Kapper Outdoors The Push button is nice. I am very pleased with my Ranger, you won’t be disappointed. Looking forward to videos with this in your fleet. 😃
I ride a Yamaha Grizzly 700 with power steering. Not a side-by-side. LOVE it! We just ride for fun though, trail rides in the bush, on the beach for clam digging, and tow dragsters during the summer and plow with it in the winter. Those look like luxury rides 😁
I ride a xp1000 hunter edition and love it. My only complaint is the clutch is jerky at the very start but a company called Giloman Innovation makes a kit that fixes it perfectly. The big gripe of the ranger is "turf mode" or one wheel drive will not hold up and blows the rear differential. Join the Ranger owners group on fb, there is a lot of good info available. If you want to test drive both, come over to my neck of the woods and both dealers are in the same town and let you test drive them off road and get after it.
Thanks man, yeah I've heard that of the clutch, but if I get it I'll see if I can adjust. I'm not a big racing guy so it may not be an issue. Every quad and atv I've ever had had some kind of clutch lag, except the electric!
One thing the Polaris has that kubota doesn't is a Bluetooth stereo so you can't get a distracted driving ticket if you happen to cross a road way and you can under the dump bed with the key flip a switch and have it limited to 20 mph then if there is a emergency flip it to where it can do 88 mph and go first responder mode
I got a ranger 500 and iv never been stuck. I used it for transporting waterfowl hunting gear out into muddy fields and around ponds. Put it in 4 low and it just keeps going. Love the fit and finish and ride quality
I'd buy one myself for my property and we have 1000's of acres next to me to play around if I want. The AC and Heat sold me... Canadian price starting is 33,000 more or less... wow :)
yeah, they ain't cheap, but look at all that you get!!! It is quite a bit less though than 33k!! After I trade in the Kubota, it will be less than 20 if I got the Northstar. That AC was a huge selling point!!!
It'll be interesting to see which way you go. I've have/had Honda and Polaris ATVs. The Hondas have by far been the much better machine. That said, it's been a while since I've had a Polaris for that reason and this is a whole new beast so to speak.
I'm going with Polaris. The whole new machine is incredible, nothing close to the older models. Once Can Am came out with the defender, Polaris HAD to do something Big, and they sure did!
Kapper Outdoors the honda pioneer is a much much better machine i own a defender a ranger and a pioneer. The pioneer is the best by far in reliability and performance.
buy it its the top of the line. I ve got the 2 seater model and it has never let me down and it goes pretty much every whereI think you wont be sorry its a great machine.
Don't get too excited about the engine intake and belt intake snorkels under the hood. While neat yes, they forgot to snorkel the belt exhaust air! Water will still spill inside the clutch housing and stop the machine dead in its tracks. Also, if/when you get this machine, the first thing you need to do is make sure the five drain plugs (engine, rear diff fill and drain, front diff fill and drain) will break loose. The hulk at the factory overtightened my front diff fill causing me to strip it out (8mm Allen and yes it was fully seated!). Talked to my dealer and they said it was not warranty and that they would charge me $$ to fix it. Yesterday, I removed the front bumper and chiseled at the side of the plug to break it free, then welded a 3/4" nut to it so that this would never happen again! Still looking for a way to snorkel the belt exhaust without cutting up the bed like all the others do. Good luck!
Interesting, but I have seen vids of them running and still going while almost completely submersed!!! I couldn't believe it to be honest... but I hope NOT to ever try it out! lol
@@kapperoutdoors With full snorkels, yes you can drive them through a pond. But again, with stock setup you cannot go in water higher than the seat bottom or else water will spill over into the clutch housing via the belt exhaust port. Tilt the bed back and look at yours. That "grated" metal opening just above the exhaust manifold is where it spills over into. Some kits like the HighLifter have you cut the bed up to make room for the tubes. Another kit that I saw does not cut the bed but rather goes through the back of the cab. Will have to keep an eye out on that one to see if it's the one to get.
ha ha ha! Funny Iron Mike said if I get it that I'd wait like 6 months before i really 'test it out' (mud, rocks, etc). I said Heck no! I'll be testing the limits on like day 2! LOL. So you think 2 weeks huh????
I skipped right over the pretense of utility and went with a RZR 1000S, Polaris' Uber-woods sport machine. I think the Can-Am's turn sharper and the Polaris General (which offers an enclosed cab) uses the same drivetrain as the 1000s.
@@kapperoutdoors I moved my 3.800 pound pontoon with it and pulled around my aluminum utility trailer with it. Works good for all that but it doesn't have a dump bed, but that's what dump trailers are for!
If money alone is not the deal breaker, If it was me I like being cool when it is hot and warm and toasty when it is cold. With your new hips, I think they would like the warmth a lot better than open doors and the elements out on 211.
Yep. Well $$ is always an issue, but this time I'm going All in!! Totally agree that the cab model will allow you much more riding time and outdoors time, especially in the heat!!
Kapper, that thing is nice. Take a look at the Kubota sidekick. The CVT is vented and filtered with an additional cluck on it. I just bought it. I love it.
@@kapperoutdoors Thank You, I have a 2020 Ranger 1000 and I'm paranoid about messing up the transmission and 4 wheel drive system. I heard allot of nightmares.
Just don't like the way the Kubota operates. Very slow, uphill I don't like the way it works... Just need more after using it for almost a year now.. Check out this comp with the Honda: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-52bjVuMzYnA.html
Kapper, another fun vid! Would love to see a video on why you think the Kubota is such a dog! I’m really interested in the Kubota RTV-X1140. Four passengers or go to two passengers and a huge bed with hydraulic dump. What do you think?
I have heard that the Kubota 1100's rock and don't have the 'dog' issue of the 900's. The 900 issue is well known I just was not aware of it. Good luck!
i liked the north star a lot back last fall when i was looking at gators. but their 3.9% interest over deere's.9% couldn't be beat-IMO. so i went with my deere, and i liked deere's color too.:-)
You should consider throwing the yamaha wolverine 2019 in the mix. Mite only be an 850 but has higher towing rating a 10 year belt warranty and a true on demand 4x4 lock on a swich and cheaper usally
Well, I've made my comparisons and after all considerations I'm going with the Polaris. It is an awesome re design, and the cab model should be awesome. Heat in winter, Cool in summer, and no dust trail riding... Oh, and LOTS of power to boot :) Thanks man.
I have the new xp1000 love it. 3600km no problems. Work the guts out of it. Just the other day we had wood stacked to the roof well over 1000lbs. They are tanks
I purchased the Honda Pioneer 1000 from SI Motorsports last year and found it to be an excellent machine for both work and play. Check one out there or come test mine in the woods
Awesome. I'm sure it is a great machine, I plan to go back to take a look, but I like the way the 4wd option works on the Polaris compared to the manual switching. So many choices of good machines though!!! Thanks
For this large of a purchase I'm sticking with a well known thing that has been proven. I've tried the 'up and comers' for 2 other UTV's and they just didn't cut it. Thanks.
If you're not going to be racing, then I think the 700 would be plenty. Someone can correct me, but I think the only major difference would be top speed. I personally wouldn't want to go 80+ mph in that anyway. The cab is cool, but ridiculously expensive.
The big thing with the 1,000 is that it is a totally different body, frame, suspension, more Heavy duty than the 900's. I do need heavy duty stuff in the terrain that we live in, it can get quite rough at times. thanks.
@@kapperoutdoors I didn't realize that. I thought all the full size rangers were on the same frame. Make sure you check that out for yourself so you're not tricked into buying it. Looking forward to the next video, good luck!
I am leaning towards a Polaris mainly because they have been the industry leader for so long and the top machine. This one specs out pretty amazing for the options and usability. Thanks.
Yeah, I'm 6' 5" and everything is small, but some better than others. I don't want a track drive, I don't think we have quite that need overall. thanks
Man, not sure where you get rubberband, but they've dominated the market for years and still sell 80% of the UTV market. Check this out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-52bjVuMzYnA.html
Just a light hearted jab at the rubber cvt belt that's known to blow. No doubt they have the market cornered though. I think Hondas dct transmission will prove itself to be much more robust and reliable. Hopefully anyways.
avoid polaris you will have nothing but issues with it! we had 2 2017 sportsmans , lots of recalls, run very hot my wife and i would burn our legs on them with just routine riding and polaris would do nothing to help with the heat. Dealer support for polaris sux
Well, dealer supports is usually a local dealer issue, I've heard many of the same things with tractors. If you have good dealer support, it makes a world of difference. I know that this model was updated in 18, then again in 19.
I wouldnt buy one. I had a new 900xp lasted about 2yrs using it on the farm for everyday use. They machine would squat really bad with 400lbs in the bed and had,to keep it in low if i had anything heay to move with it. Just be very careful with the Polaris Rangers.
Well, the 19 models were completely overhauled, everything new, created around the 82 hp new 1,000 power plant. My old Ranger was a work horse, until the computer went out! Otherwise that thing took a real beating!
Sorry, but I respectfully disagree! I plan to do a future vid on why I chose the Polaris over Honda and Can Am. They are all great machines no doubt, just some things that really pulled me in! (Like Air conditioning! lol)
