I think you can’t go wrong with any of the major brands.

We love our Ranger.

Only thing is I worry about the long term service on them. Not sure about basspro service dept. or when they will decide to discontinue and build something else. The safest bet is to probably buy one of the brands that has been around forever. I am leaning toward Honda Pioneer 700. But would really like to have the Tracker which is much quieter.


I believe the Kawasaki Mule Pro, John Deere XUV835, Tracker 800SX, and Artic Cat Prowler all use the same Chery 3 cylinder engine. I like my Mule Pro FXT as I use it for hunting and working around the farm but it certainly isn't tearing through the mud like my neighbors Cam Am Defender on 30's. I have a couple buddies who have Tracker 800's and they really like them. I thought my Mule was quiet until I was around their Trackers and they are noticeably quieter than the Mule. If I was needing something for a duck lease or a muddier hunting place I would choose a Can Am Defender but if you are just hunting/working on average land in Alabama then I believe the Mule or the Tracker are more than capable of doing what you want to do.

I have a great Polaris, bought used. If I got in the market for new - Kawasaki Mule no doubt.

I haven't personally used one but have two buddies who in the last year have bought new rangers. Both have since sold them and one got a CanAm the other got a mule. UTV's are the same as trucks. Everyone has their own personal preference and at the end of the day every brand has some type of issue.

Just bought a Ranger Creww 1000 and love it. The ride is fantastic. Took a ride in a buddies comparable Mule last week and was very happy with my decision. The Mules are great machines but for me seats/comfort /ride were better in mine. It’s also much quieter than my older Ranger 570 and his Mule.

I agree totally. I wanted one for a while but there wasnt a chance in hell I was buying on until I could write a check for it. Ridezilla Albany(formerly Powersports Plus Albany) was willing to make a deal for a cash customer even amidst Covid in spring of 22.

Don’t disagree with you but I also see a lot of people that don’t finance items that are not saving for retirement. If it better to write check for a toy and not save for retirement or finance a toy and max out retirement? Is it better to make a distribution out of your retirement in your 60s to pay for one or finance without a distribution. My point it, finances are a customized deal. Not a one size fits all always.

I have had more rangers and rzr’s than most folks ever will. I’ve only had 1 major issue and that’s on the ranger I own now. I knew the problem was going to happen and it did. Fixed it and kept moving. It’s odd to me how people have so many ussues.

Was your issue cause by the turf mode?

My rangers have been rode hard and put up wet but maintained. I’ve always had good luck with them especially on resale when I sold them. Best riding by far and I’ve sold 2 to friends that had problems with their cam ams. They are machines and will all break at some point, sometimes it’s a simple fix and sometimes major. My problems with rangers have been axels and bearings because of running them in water high water
Other than that they have been good

Yes sir. I knew exactly what it was the instant it happened. Deleted that when I repaired it.

10-4.
I knew it had to be that or a reverse chain.
Luckily, I’ve never experienced either but I’ve witnessed both on multiple occasions.
