Personally i wouldn't buy a Polaris. Way to many problems, especially when they get older. My brothers diesel Mule is a nice ATV and it will haul a lot, along with being easy to get into and out of. The diesel starts easily in cold weather and always idles and runs well!! Also it has a "real" diesel, not a converted gas engine, and it just "sips fuel". (unlike the bigger gas models) It's easily the best of that type of ATV. The Gator won't compete with a Mule, especially if you have any mud!! I also have a Big Red 3 wheeler, but compared to the 4 wheelers it's way too hard on my back!! I prefer a 4 wheeler to a 3 wheeler for a work ATV. The extra weight really helps when you need to "pull" something! I quit buying Honda 4 wheelers when they took the Hi-Lo trans. out. I wouldn't buy a work ATV that doesn't have Lo range!! The two best 4 wheelers i've owned are the Yamaha Kodiak and Yamaha Grizzly that i have now. They really can take all the real work a farm ATV gets!! Also the Yamaha's belt auto is easily the best auto made today. The Yamaha belt is "always" under tension. It has a seperate clutch like the gear drive models, it's NOT a "snowmobile" style clutch that continually eats away at the belt!! My Grizzly still has the origional belt in it, and last time i asked my dealer, they had NOT replaced even one belt to that date!! Keep in mind, the bigger the motor the more gas it will guzzle, just ask the owner of a 700 Polaris about that!! Robert
