I really appreciate that. I was hoping to help someone out who was in the market to purchase one. Hope you enjoy yours!!!

Thank You!

Hope it's as reliable as the others I've had!

I most certainly will, I will likely put together an oil change video in about a month or so! Thanks for checking it out And enjoy your wheeler!

I'll tell you what I think of a product straight up every time

Thanks 👍

Ill be putting out the 6 month review hear soon. So far this machine has been good to me!

Right on!

@Crocodiletears oh man, thanks for the heads up brother 👌

Me too buddy!

👍

Thanks!!

🤣Yes sir

Thank you sir!

Thanks 👍

Thanks!

They needed to figure something out for storage..

Thank You. I actually got pretty lucky I found this one, a guy won it on a raffle and didn't want it, he traded it in for a new lawn mower.... I happened to walk into the dealership that day.

@@After5Outdoors Lol that's awesome enjoy and be safe.

Will do...

Truer words never spoken!!!!!

Hey I really appreciate it! God bless you as well!!

Thanks guys!

So far I'm getting 18.5 mpg, Not quite sure on top speed yet, waiting to hit 100 miles before I open it up. Most of my riding conditions are in wooded areas checking trail cams etc.

Doesn’t have the HP to power a set of tracks

I doubt I'll put tracks on it. They're so expensive

@@After5Outdoors yeah about the same cost as a new four wheeler.

Pretty close!

If gas werent so high, love to ride on those trails! Too bad we are 1000 miles apart!

@@After5Outdoors welcome anytime

👍

Me too buddy!

Sorry for the delay, YT held your comment for review... I think that actually the 500 felt a bit snappier, but not by alot. I do like this model a bit better, I think this one rides a bit better, the big thing for me is this one should start in low temps and have better electrical output. So far I think they are very comparible.

There are a couple drawbacks, that is sure one!

They've doubled in price. I bought a new one in 2013, $5700. 2022 $9400. It is pretty ridiculous

@@After5Outdoors Yea, If they could have given me a basic machine 500cc 4x4 w/ winch and plow for $7k, maybe a bit more, out the door, I would have bought it. Everything has doubled over 10 years except my pay 🤣🤣

@anthonyg6221 I hear you there

I had a white 2013 Sportsman H.O. it's only issue was starting in the winter. 7800 miles is incredible!!

i use mine to plow snow in the winter thats all.. i have a new skidoo for winter besides atvs are not winter machines!

👍

Well I haven't got a plow for this one. But plowed with my 500 H.O. they are similar in HP so I think it will be just fine

I have a plow on mine and I was very impressed with how good it plows snow

@Michael Johnston I bought the 55 inch poly plow. It pushes like crazy

Thanks

@@After5Outdoors you are very welcome

Well...honestly it depends on the previous owner, and what you intend to use it for, if you live in a cold climate, highly recommend fuel injection. My 2013 didn't start if it was about 10 Fahrenheit or colder. Or if you plan to plow snow with it, the lights will dim as the older ones didn't have the electrical output. Some guys liked the 570s between 2014 and 19 and some didn't. It really depends on alot of different things but those were big selling points for me. A new 450 is gonna be about 9k with power steering and probably about 8k without, out the door with taxes and all. Hope this helps

@@After5Outdoors It does, In your experience- Can you Negotiate an ATV Like a Car ? Or is there no flexibility at all- I am just curious iF i keep saving if I get close to the 7-8k mark if they move at all maybe when new models come out etc

@@Dabrant29 it's a pretty set price. I don't think you'll get em to move. That price is for a 450, a 570 will be even more

To me it doesn't matter, to others it may

we just bought 450 for the wife and the 570 is very aggressive engine braking for a slower - beginner rider. the 450 feels better at slower speeds

Compared to my 2010 and 13 that I had, I think they are pretty comparable. There are some things I can pick apart, but overall mechanically I think these will be pretty durable, time will tell.

I remember on the 2010 I had, the winch was considerably higher, almost to the top of the front rack
