A co-worker has a Ranger and loves it. Goes hunting with it, heads out with chainsaw and fuel in the morning, comes back with load after load of firewood later on. He also has a plow on the front, a trailer hitch on the back, and some auxiliary lighting. His has the dump bed, too. He even uses it to skid logs. Had a 570 and now has a 900.

 

It's really a jack of all trades Tyler. I could use it for clearing, firewood, running the perimeter trail, pulling around the chipper/splitter/ATV trailer, and recreation too. It's just narrow enough that it would work in Maine. (Well, 2.5" over their width limit but I could make it work.) It would fit nicely in the RV garage to boot.

 

I really like my Ranger 900 XP. The only issue I have with it is that I can't take it on trails rated for the narrow ATV's. Mine is 60" wide and needs to be 50" to hit those trails.

This will be the first Christmas that I'm not buying an accessory for my Ranger.

 

Ypu know you need one of each...

 

Now you're just taunting him...lol.

 

I sure do want one of each! Plus the orange stripe on the Ranger is Kubota orange...

Jim, the new ones are 62.5". I'm going to have to measure to see if that's accurate. I know RZR's gain a couple of inches from suspension squat/spread.

 

That ranger looks sharp with the orange

 

I suppose that as long as you're already over 50" whats a couple more.

 

Yep, we don't have 50" limits out here. Some of the trails are 60" max but most don't have a limit.

 

Speaking of Rangers, have any of you guys checked out the HVAC model? Full dust proof cab, full glass, full doors with crank windows, roof, heat, defrost, AC, windshield wiper. It's really a car...

 

Maybe an all aluminum dump trailer to go with? Scott, this one is from your home state...

 

Really? A SxS with HVAC? What next?

Seriously, check out a Deere 2R series Rodney. Jack of all trades. Maybe master of none, but I love mine! I don't have many trees to mow around, so it's a lawn mower for me too. Loader with brush hog on to having the MMM on and ready to cut grass in < 5 minutes. Attachments go on a pallet with casters so I can roll them around in the shed.

 

Crank windows! You’d think they’d be power at the price. You could buy a Fiesta or discounted Focus at the price.

Definitely like a small pickup though. Very nice.

 

Are the windows and doors removable?

REally takes away the feel if not

 

I know Polaris offers doors with power windows as an option for the standard Ranger but not on the HVAC. You could swap them in for about three grand though...LOL. I think the windshield would constantly be dirty if trail riding and agree that the fully enclosed aspect would really limit the feel. However, if you were a rancher, I think it would be a great machine. No different than all the cabbed Kubota's coming standard with heat and AC. But, for working around the land, I'd rather it open to just hop in and out of quickly and easily. The only thing I'd probably do is a roof and winch to start...
