| Hello folks. Looking to buy a UTV or SxS in a year time frame. Doing research now and looking for the best fit. I will have to say I have tentatively narrowed it down to the Polaris Ranger 800 full size or Yamaha Rhino 700.
Hoping to get feedback here and learning a few things on these machines. | |

| I was in your shoes a few years ago. I bought a Rhino. It was the best fit for me at the time. I still have the old Rhino, great machine. However, I am on my second RZR. Yeah that is right I have two side by sides now. I own a 08 700 rhino and RZR 900. So be careful because this sport can be very addictive......  Side note: I have you looked at the Teryx? It is a fine machine too. | |

| Well I got to ride a 2011 Polaris Ranger 800 XP of a friends up the side of a mountain! I mean up the side here in western NC at over 4000 feet and I have to say, that thing climbed like nothing I have seen!
I am really leaning now in the Ranger camp! Just purchased our 21 acres of land and will hopefully be building on it in just over a year which is outside the Greensboro area.
My question is this.................any of you guys use your Polaris or even a Rhino to pull one of those pull behind rough cut mowers for large properties?
Thanks for the welcomes once again! | |

Thanks for the welcomes once again! if you plan to mow with it you better get a ranger. they have turf mode ( 1 wheel drive) and will not cut up your yard when you turn. all others with destroy a yard | |
