We couldn't get the grizzly because it doesn't legally hold 2 passangers. They don't make a 2 up machine.
Another Polaris here. So far, so good for my 2014 570.
I'm very happy thus far, this is my first full season with the machine and it's been a blast. I didn't get the PS, my sales person actually talked me out of it. He had me sit on a machine with tracks on gravel, not moving, and told me to turn the bars. I was shocked as to how easy they turned. When I test rode it in the snow, I didn't see a need for the power steering.
They did have one, but it didn't have the tracks on it. I don't use my ATV for trail riding and I don't blaze a lot of trails in the woods to get to the lakes. That said, now I'll probably need it.
We ended up purchasing a 2015 Can-Am Outlander MAX 650 xt. It really has all of the specs we wanted and more. Looks like it will be a great quad and definitely worth the money.
Wow those tracks work wonders in that 2 feet of snow We are loving the new bike right now, only 25 miles on it so far. We are still in the process of figuring out what works best for our ice fishing set up. Right now we have a rack on the front for our eskimo power auger and thats it. We are looking to either make or buy a rack for the back that would hold 3 buckets. 1 Bucket holds the vexilar, the other has the rods and tip-ups(which we made rod holders on the outside of the bucket, and dividers on the inside for the tip ups. The other bucket would either hold minnows or dry gloves, snacks and etc. Not really sure on what type of rack to go for which would hold those buckets. I personally think a homeade one would be better than dropping $300 on a factory one, just to make it fit our needs!
Hello ADK11, should have checked out this post earlier. Good choice on your new bike. I started with a Polaris Sportsman 500 great machine but didn't like how the 4 wheel drive system worked. Make a long story short I went with a 2008 Outlander 500 XT. Great machine put over 10,000 km, no problems next bike is a 2014 650 Outlander Max XT. I didn't think the power steering would make much of a difference, I was wrong! I would have got the 500 XT but a friend like to ride with me now so I went with the 650 also wanted the extra power for the tracks.
What is the yellow folded up piece in front of your radiator for? Looks like a piece of wood with hinges? Thanks.
