Hello everyone, my name is Frank, I am new to this forum and I was hoping to pick your brains a little. A little about me first, I live in southern Wisconsin and have been a atv owner for many years. My first atv was bought in 1988 which was a 1986 Honda Fourtrax 350 4x4 (which I still have) and I also have a 1989 Yamaha warrior 350. My wife and I love trail riding, most of there use is on the trails but I use the Honda for cleaning the driveway and icefishing in the winter (46" snow blade). Over the memorial weekend we were out trail riding when a friend brought out a new can-am commander. That definitely sold me on buying a side by side. Now a can am is a bit out of my price range but I have been doing some online research on the Honda Pioneer, Yamaha Rhino, and Polaris Ranger. I have looked at John Deere but at there prices I might as well buy a can am. I am curious on what all of you have and your opinions for my needs. I do have a local Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki dealer in town which I do plan to visit, but I want to hear what you have to say without the dealers "bias" opinions because he is trying to sell his own products. Basically I am looking for something that handles well on the trails yet versatile enough to have a snow blade or maybe use ice fishing (course weight is much heavier than my Honda atv). I look forward to hearing from you.

Well, I just bought a new 2015 Polaris Ranger ETX because the John Deere units don't have as many features for the same money. I did tons of research and felt that Polaris was the best bang for the buck with predictable resale value. If you do a comparison, you will find the same to be true. 31 HP, bokoos instrumentation, EFI, "Lock & Ride" attachments, better gas mileage, less weight per HP, etc, etc, etc. By the way....I am a John Deere lover but broke out due to price, features, & brand name.

      Hi, 
      New to the forum. 
      Came here looking for some experienced UTV users who can enlighten me about which brand should I pick for my very first UTV or SXS. 
      I'm between 3 brands and 3 models: 
      *Kawasaki MULE PRO-FXR   1000.
      *Yamaha wolverine rmax2. 
      *Can am Commander XTP. 
      The use I'm willing to give it is mostly to go to the range with my wife, load steel targets and all our shooting gear, we shoot a lot, rifles, Shotguns and Handguns for practice, training and competition. (Range is about 10 miles from home) 
      But also I want something that I can take to the trails and have fun on dirt, mud, rocks, puddles or creeks. 
      Any objective information will be appreciated, specially which is more reliable and durable. 
      Thank you and happy 4th of July.

      Hello All...
           Just bought a 2014 Massimo 500 UTV.  It;s not running at the moment, but hopefully will soon.  I need a seat for it also (passenger side, if it makes any difference.)  It is a crank-but no start situation.  Just now starting to read the boards for solutions.  Apparently these models are well known for this issue.  If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to chime in, it would be greatly appreciated.
      Thanks
