Clay, have you looked at a new xp ranger?
if i needed to haul a wife and kid thats what i would get. hell i may get one in a year or 2 anyways. i would get the 800XP before i would buy another rhino.

Problem is Bush.... I have 4 KIDS.... And a Wife..... Would need a Super Stretch SXS to pull that one off. Cade is 3 now. Colt is almost 1, So it wont be too long before Colt is ready to ride. Cade is my CO-Pilot for now

And yes and the end of each day the wife and i are worn the hell out

Yeah. I really like those alot. But i have heard nothing but horror stories about smoked belts and cracked engine cases. What have you heard?

I have one with over 1400 trouble free miles on it. also the stock belt.
and I beat the hell out of it.

How often do you have to fool with the belt? Any special tools? Im sure I can do it. I have never messed with a Kawasaki. Yamaha, Polaris, and Suzuki yes..

I am in the same boat as you bro, with the birth of the twins this year and my co-pilot who is ten there is just not enough room for the whole family. I am looking at "in the future" converting my current bike to a four seater and handing it over to my wife and building me a custom Rhino 660-700, unless Yamaha comes out with something new and competitive that is.....

I had to adjust the belt once, and I forgot the upper a arm bushings.

I realy think they all make good ones try them and decide what you like best.
Everyone has there good and bad points. I like the RZRs but they weren't out when I got the Teryx. I like the size of the RZR and I hate it at the same time.

Just went by my local dealer. Checked out the Teryx and drove it. Definately snappier than a Rhino. Stock at least. little more roomy. It was a 09 LE Fuel Inj. they were asking $10500. They are on crack as usual. I dont understand why they price their stuff so high. I did like it though... Quite a bit. I guess if I decide on going that rout i will be going out of state to buy.

Oh, And Cade threw one big fit when I left the dealer without that thing.... The boy is wanting to ride NOW

I dont know... The more I read... Seems like they have so many more issues than the Rhino. Especially after performance mods.... I may just go back to the trusty ole Rhino.

They all have there problems
