RZR4

I love my 06-660 never wanted anything else . I hope yaw are happy with what u bought i am.See u on the trail. Long as u happy im Happy Good Day. Lets Ride

for a trail machine the RZR is on top right now. IMO
for trail and work i think its going to be the ranger 800. i have seen what the ranger 700 can do and its right there with a rhino.so the 800 has to be better. yes the ranger is bigger than a rhino but not by much.
as far as witch one is built better they are all about even. but the way the frame and body work on the rhino is a better design. because if you lay a rhino on its side there is likely going to be no damage. but lay a rzr on its side there will be some sort of body damage.


im a yamaha man down deep but polaris is king right now hands down. but it will not be long and yamaha will be back on top. t

No doubt. Nobody has even come close to putting the investment into the SidexSide market that Polaris has. They have set their sites on being the leader in the Sidexside market, and are definately that right now. Allthough i'm not a Polaris owner, i appreciate their efforts in making the SidexSide market better.

Dang pate you must be bored,or half into a bottle of EZRA to go hunting posts made years ago on other forums with nothing to do at all with current discussions. I think we all learn from past experiences and my remarks as to what ive said or not said were meant "on this forum" where it seems to be necessary to defend yourself on what brand machine you bought. Anything i wrote about a rhino was what i read on other forums posted by people that had had those problems ,i didn't make them up. I researched several machines before buying the RZR and found out a lot about the problems all the brands were having and made my decision.
Far as my arctic cat prowler, it was one of the reasons i never wanted to own a rhino or any other one cyl machine again, not cause it was bad or problematic just because after owning 6 atvs all with twin powered motors . I just wasn't satisfied with the power a one cyl machine had to offer. Im sorry you screwed up and bought A RZRS then found something you liked better. It happens, thats why i sold my prowler and bought a rzr. A lot of us have done it but most dont sit around like you and bad mouth the one we sold trying to justify our loss. It's time to stop complaining about your rzr experance, its old news get over it.

Some of Gunnys posts when he owned a Prowler-All from www.Arctichat.com

"You never spent much time on the rhino forums, there frames break all the time on the right front taking the a frame and all off, also the rack steering box breaks in two pieces and the rear diff mounts crack all the time. 90% of Rhino motors are done at around 2k miles also.I have yet to hear about any of these type issues with a prowler and when somebody does have a issue its mostly because of abuse. Prowlers are not perfect by a long shot but compared to the others they are better than most as to reliability and longevity"



" I guess its just me but I cant see 14k for a sxs. by the time you tricked it out your in for 17-18k. "


"Huh???????/// 1000 prowler is not out yet, if ever. no such thing as a 550 prowler or any prowler with efi except the 08 700, so whats up with this post??????????????? "

"Your in the same boat with every brand as to warranty, they all have only 6 months. But they all will sell you an extended one if you want to pay for it. They all have issues, just check out the other forums, rhinos have a bunch, polaris has less than rhinos but still they have them. You can change brands but none are bullitproof. "

Oh yeah...........This ones great.

"If reading this forum scares you about the prowler cause they have some small issues from time to time go read Highlifter under RUV or rhinoforums and get your pants scared off for sure. The amount of large issues the rhino,teryex and razrs are discussed there and believe me it makes the prowler seem perfect in comparison.But as we all know Nothing is perfect, but prowlers have way less major breakdowns than the others hands down"

"Oh I didnt miss the point, its one race, razr won. So What? There are plenty others that prowlers won,rhinos won and others. Its just racin its not always the guy with the fastest or most power that ends up crossing the finish line first. "


"Yea but had you rather go thru deep mud and have it on your boots or up around your chest, razrs sit you 12" above the ground. Ok if your running in the sand or dry areas but they suck big time in creeks,mudholes or other wet areas. I could go thru stuff that would drown a guy in a razr. "


"The prowler has a abs floor, no stick is going thru it,If you hit a steel rod just right it might but that stuff will not break, its IMO as good as alum. any day. Now a rhino has a plastic floor and sticks bust them wide open all the time. "

"Better beef up the rhino, they flip and roll much easier than the prowlers do."

"I not debating anything, its just common knowledge to all of us that have owned arctic cat for a long time."

"It's all good fun, but truthfully there are issues with rhinos where the right side assembly breaks off at the point where the steering section is connected. It happened to a friend of mine up at brimestone in TN. and they had to use a ratchet strap to tie together to get it out."

"Hey if you love the rhino design better then why not just buy one but you might want to read about some of their design flaws. Rhinos must have been designed by a redneck southern osaka guy But I can tell you, Hit a big FREEKIN tree with it and you will get the same result, tree's tend to do that. We got lots of trees down here in the south but our daddys taught us to drive around them. Here is just one of countless threads about serious rhino problems, ask your dealer about this!"

"I think a prowler would do better, they dont tip as easy and have more low end power. "

"You bashed the roll bar system, the motors , the fuel tanks and so on, Its kool if you dont like prowlers but if you want to hang out with a bunch of rhino lovers go to high lifter, you can feel right at home with those guys, stroking each other in one topic and whinning about all the crap that breaks in another. You want to read about worn out smoking motors or blown motors and blown gears,rearends and hundreds of other things thats your place. Why hang around here after all you dont have a arctic cat anymore and we sure dont have any rhinos "

"No but you got some free doors didnt you compliments of one of yamahas many lawsuits for killing and seriously injuring its owners in roll overs, you better have a strong roll bar on that rubber ball there buckwheat Read thev rhino forums and hear the guys with about 2k on them whinning cause the motors are worn out and need rebuilding. Rhinos sales are going to fall way off now that there are better and faster ones out there, kawi will take tons of rhino buyers away with its V-twin motor and the word is getting out about how tuff the prowlers are, read this months ATV RIDER MAG they say the prowler is one of the most extreme capable ruvs out there, they didnt say that about the rhino or the razr they tested a few months back. "


That's all we have time for tonight fellers. There were 11 more pages. Sorry Gunny, Ronnies point is dead-on! If and when you own it, it's the best................

" They say the prowler is one of the most extreme capable ruvs out there, they didnt say that about the rhino or the razr they tested a few months back. "
I'm not saying it's not.............but you are................ " And the frames do break on Rhinos all the time"..............I've never seen a case of a Rhino frame breaking..........."90% of Rhino motors are done at 2k".............
Sorry bud, but a lot of RZR motors did'nt make it 300 miles. Ask BobbyD.........

When's the movie coming out these post are getting to long for my extension span

thats true that there have been lots of 08 RZR with dust sucking problems and burning oil. but the rhino had an oil burning problem when they first came out also. just go back to some of the older forums and read about it. the cylinder on the first rhinos would get out of round and the motor would burn oil and some even burn all the oil and blown the motor.

all new machines has some problems. so i plan not to buy any first year models anymore. let someone else be the test dummy.

Your right. Yamaha forgot to oil the air-filters.
