[QUOTE="RTinVa, post: 819990, member: 65433"] I picked up my first ATV a few months ago. Before I started looking I spent many hours researching the opinions of owners. I found the Polaris 500 to be a good all around ATV. Plenty of power and does not over heat like some of the larger units. I found this 2006 500 with a 3200 lb winch (more than what is needed). The nice part is that it has a 6 foot cable remote control for the winch which I can operate while standing away from the ATV. It also came with a Swisher plow that angles either side. This should prove to be helpful for clearing my drive in the winter. I can say I pushed dirt without any issue. The unit has approximately 900 hours on it and also has front rack and rear basket. It is an automatic which my kids love. Easy to ride. I agree with another review that without power steering you get to "feel" the trail. Cannot wait to throw my first buck on the back and drive it out of the woods! Is it fast? Yes. It also has the option of 2 wheel high or 4 wheel low. I pull a 6x10 landscape trailer around the fields loaded with wood and brush without any difficulty! Plenty of power. Picked it up for 4300. Looking at what I needed and the cost of a new ATV (2-3x the price).... I am very pleased. Only issue was the choke which works off a vacuum. Took it out and cleaned it.
