I see all sorts of arguments here about the best, fastest, mud-buggy and rock climber, but hardly a single word about the one's bought for hunting or working.
I'm looking for a SxS with a large bed, 4WD and preferably some sort of "turf-mode" that can unlock the differential rather than tear up the grass.
I'll be using the bed to haul lumber, concrete and building supplies. I'll be hauling topsoil, fertilizer and manure.
I'll be going into to woods where speed isn't all that important, but the ability to climb slick and muddy hills will be. I need to be able to ford streams and maneuver in thick woods.
But most of all, I need something that won't break down and leave me stranded.
I won't be jumping it. I won't be going 50 mph over rocks. I won't be racing it. I'll be using it to work. But occasionally, I might drive it "briskly" on a trail. I want something with a bit more spirit than a Gator or a Mule.
I like the Yamaha Rhino, but the bed is small and you can't unlock the differential.
I like the Polaris Ranger, but I keep hearing about terrible heating problems in the new ones.
I like the Artic Cat Prowler, but I keep hearing that they break down.
Who can tell me about how good these (or others) are for work?
