[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 806417, member: 30671"] 1) 2003 Honda 350 4x4 ES, a great little machine I got cheap for the kids to come along. Some of the adults prefer it now, tough little machine, uses between a third and a half better gas mileage. It can be a bit confusing to get reverse etc. 2) Polaris 2005 500 4x4, very comfortable to ride, very intuitive to operate. A big point for me when I bought it was liquid cooled to hunt Nevada antelope. Not having been there with the Honda I can't say for certain the liquid cooled is a must. You likely have a better picture of that. 3) 2001 Polaris 6x6 500. A great ride, noticeably more stable on extreme vertical runs. Hauls moose, or multiple guys to drop points for drives and such. Pain in the *** to transport if you go with other folks, doesn't really fit anything. My partner put tracks on it, and will it ever go through snow. 4) Girlfriends Polaris 800 4x4, snowplowing mostly it does well. Major glitch in design is the amount of heat it transfers to your right leg is ridiculous. OK snowplowing but a desert location no way. Great ride though, noticeably better than the 500. Seriously check the net about the heat to your leg, no real solution to it, and summer rides aren't fun. 5) I hunted Wy antelope with a friend that uses a 750 Yamaha. Another sturdy big machine with no complaints. I need 4x4, and prefer liquid cooled. The 500's are probably more comfortable if you double up at times. The newer ones built for 2 riders intrigue me with the extra length. I really like the storage boxes with the backrest on all the machines I have. Makes more comfortable glassing and rest stops, and yeah we use it as a seat. The 300-400 range 4x4's are great machines when you find them, but after you load, basic tools, rifles, spotters, lunch, rain gear etc. the 500's give more comfort with a bit more payload. [/QUOTE]
