Which UTV would you buy

IMO, can't go wrong with a Ranger once you get rid of the squeaking. I like the new Honda Pioneers, but don't like the fact that to use the 4 seats, you eliminate use of the bed.

This was big for me as well. Bench only hate the seat deal on the utv's

If Honda would put a Pioneer out with 4 seats without taking up the bed, I would try one out for sure. I have an old Honda rancher that they are going to have to bury with me!

Check out the new yamaha viking! Id trade my ranger 500 for a new viking any day! And i really like my ranger.

I have a Ranger 800 crew and its an awesome machine. I've taken it through some rough country and its never missed a beat. As others have said the squeaking is very annoying. I added grease zerks to all of the bushings in the A-arms and it made a world of difference. It rides much quieter now.
The Honda Pioneer is the only other UTV I'd consider. Once they come out with a true 4 seater then I'll really be interested.

Have a Kawasaki Mule 3010 with 1,200 hard hours on it. New U joints and one wheel bearing at 1,000 hours. Belt was changed between 750-1000 for preventative only. Good to go other that that.

I hear alot of people say how awesome their rig is, but no one says how many hours they have on them.

I would like to hear others that have UTV's with +1,000 hours on them and what they have done.

Btw, ALOT of my driving is in extremely muddy areas to flooded areas. I haven't had a belt issue yet, but only a matter of time I am sure.

The Mule was named properly, it is a mule, I had three of them, I think I had at least 700 hours on each before I traded them, I stepped up to the Teryx for the ride and the speed, it will flat out haul butt and rides like a dream. Kawasaki makes a great product.

IMO Ranger. We have an 800 and an 800 crew, both with over 1200 miles on them. We use them for duck hunting, running through 2' - 3' of water, hunting in west Texas and for general ranch work. We haven't really found a limitation. I used the fingers out of old leather gloves to stop the squeaking. Also, FWIW I live in North East Texas which is heavily wooded, and really haven't any issues of getting around. It is much wider than a fourwheeler, but you just adjust for that.
