Side by side recommendations

[CliffB]

I have a Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT which can seat 6 (3 front 3 back) the FXT model can be transformed into a single bench and larger bed

I recommend these about 5 times a week. They aren't very pretty but they are unbeatable for function and reliability.

The Kawasaki Mule line is the most reliable utilitarian side by side in it's price range and class. The Pro MX or FXR would be the best choice for a two seat model. The 4010 is also a great choice but they are about 2-3 months out before supply is available again. The PRO FXT is a 4 seater but the back seat collapses so you have a larger bed and if for some reason you want to carry passengers you can fold the seat up and seat 4-6 people.

The Polaris Ranger will give you the most options on the used market and are pretty middle of the road reliability wise. Tons of models and price ranges to choose from and lots of dealers to choose from.

The Yamaha Viking is great and fairly reliable but ugly as sin.

The CanAm Defender I won't speak ill of but I would choose to stay away from CanAm products personally.

The Kubota RTV is essentially a heavy duty lawnmower or tractor and their primary purpose is working a farm or driving a fence line. They have very little to no fun properties about them.

The Honda Pioneer is also an option but I hear pretty hit or miss reviews on them from owners and previous owners.

All this being said, I transport these for a living and if you need help getting one in or out of state feel free to reach out.

That pretty much sums it up

JD Gator. I’ve owned 3. One was a 4x4. It sucked and my friends have owned several in 4x4. They all sucked too.
I added a winch to my Gator TX and I have been able to go places I would not try with the 4x4.

We have a ‘17 Polaris XL 900 single seat and have had zero problems. If you buy used beware of the snorkel, usually a sure sign it has been in deep water! We ride dirt roads, use it on the property and of course deer hunting. Last week the power company gave me a couple poles they changed, drug them home with no problem.

It never ceases to amaze me that people will spend $40,000 on a side by side and total it by the end of the weekend by either rolling it or sinking it in a swamp.
