EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Who's bought a new machine in the last six month to a year that is really happy with what they bought?  I'm looking at a 2015 570 full size ranger but I'd like to hear any other suggestions. 
Thanks

I bought a 2013 ranger two years after almost 9000 in break downs I parked it and bought a Honda side by side had it almost a year not the first problem

I've been running a Honda Pioneer for a year now and it has performed flawlessly.

I have the Honda pioneer. Its a great machine. The only down fall is there isn't as much storage area as the Polaris and the top end speed is only about 38 mph.

How do y'all like the ride of the pioneer?  I had a 2010 ranger 900 and I absolutely loved the way it rode. Do all the pioneeres have the seats in the bed?  I do like the idea of having the extra passenger space. 

I bought a 570 full size last October  and I love it got plenty of  power and bed space do what I do with it

Got a new kawasaki mule pro fxt and love it so far.

Honda is the way to go in my opinion. I have the big red and it has been flawless......... 2400miles and adding to it daily with ZERO issues. The pioneer is an awesome buggy as well. I will be putting a deposit down on a new pioneer 1000 soon and cant wait to pick it up. The pioneer has a couple different models, not all of them have the extra seats in the back you have to purchase that model.

Curcross what went wrong with your Polaris?? $9000 you might have the wrong people working on it and I'm talking about the dealer when I say that. My rangers have been really durable. I'm on my 3rd one

I went and looked at the pioneer yesterday and I was not impressed by the design.  Zero storage aside from the drink holders in the doors.  I looked at a four seat model and the bed and rear doors looked like they would rattle a lot in a short period of time.  I do like shaft drive and the potential to manually shift gears on the 1000cc model. The 700 also didn't have tilt steering or the ability to haul three wide in the front seat and they still put the motor under the front seat which can really make for a hot seat in the summer. 

Polaris seems to be a better laid out machine in my opinion. Now just to decide on the 570 or bite the bullett and get the 900.

You will be happy either way you go!!! The old 800's had 40hp and the new 570's have 44hp so horsepower will not be much of an issue.

I have the 4 seater pioneer and its awesome i have mods to it  straighten the roll cage and shorten it, lift and tires next is gear reduction bought off the show room floor at $11000 took it to mud nationals and I was the only one that didn't break anything nice not changing belts in the woods and worrying about slippage

The lack of storage is my only complaint on the Pioneer. I have well over 2000 rough miles on it and its still as quiet as the day I brought it home.

How fast can you comfortably run in the pioneer?  I need to be able to drive gravel roads and get from place to place in it.

Always been partial to them original Kawasaki mules. We brought one with us here to Tn. and use a pair out in Tx. Haven't been able to kill them in going on 11 years now.

My Pioneer will run 35-38 mph with 2 people and 6 medium sized dogs. That's running gravel roads from spot to spot.

I have a can am and it's been good as gold to me but I also like to play. I hunt off a ranger 900 just as much. Hard to beat the storage and bed size.  The ranger will go anywhere you need to and the canam will take you places you don't need to be lol
