UTV Purchase

[Star1pup]

I'm thinking of selling my Arctic Cat ATV and buying a UTV. I use the Cat to plow out the driveway and that's about all since I now live at a lake where ATVs ae not allowed on the road, but UTVs are.

Any recommendations on a UTV? I will use it to plow out drive, haul wood from the firewood pile up a hill to the house and my wife will use it to cruise around the lake.

Hate to sell the ATV as it's a 2004 with hardly any use except to push snow, but I'll get more use out of something like a Prowler or Rhino.

My buddy bought a new Rhino 700 this past May and loves it. He uses it for hauling firewood, hauling deer and trail riding. It is a very capable machine and we've had it loaded down pretty good with wood before. He's had some minor mechanical issues with it, but nothing major.

I bought a rhino 700 about a year ago. Use it for hauling, pulling and trail riding. So far I love it. Down side is the doors. Have to bang them pretty hard to get them to latch.

Buy a Gator.

There's a reason you can't find used ones, they are the best EVER!

Too wide. Can't haul on back of your truck.:)

A gator won't go 1/3 of the places a Rhino will go. The gators are just basically farm use at best. The Rhino will amaze you where it will go.

Valid point on the truck comment, but if you look at some of the yardstick beds on trucks....

As for your Rhino, I'm not sure why that'd be true with a 4x4 gator.
