Need some Polaris Ranger Advice
Ok fellas I need some advice. I'm really considering biting the bullet on a new 2015 Polaris Ranger 570 and I've found some pretty decent deals from dealerships looking to close out the '15's. I want a stock Ranger and I don't care anything about accessories, add-ons, wheels, tires etc. I want a roof and at least a half windshield and that's about all. I'll be working off of it on our farm and riding around on our deer lease that is connected to our place, about 700 acres total. I'm not concerned about speed and honestly I can't imagine I'll be hauling more than feed, some firewood, corn etc. I've got a wife and 2 kids so I've really been thinking a crew is the way to go. My late father had a single seat 800 and it's staying on our place up in NW Oklahoma and I've always enjoyed the compact size but it seems like a crew makes more sense for the kids etc.
So this leaves me to a couple questions..... Is the crew a bad idea? Will I regret getting something as long as a limo and trying to navigate narrow old grown up East TX log roads? Is it going to take a country mile to turn it around? Polaris keeps the turning radius a secret on all the Rangers, best I can tell. I measured my dad's single seat 800 and it's exactly a 25 ft turning radius.
If the crew is the best option for me, is the full size 570 crew the better choice than the mid-size? I like the idea of hauling 6 people vs 4, but in reality, I can't image I'd haul more than 4 people 2-3 times a year max. From the prices I've been quoted, I would only save about $1,000 or less if I bought the mid-size.
Then again, every time I think about this I ask myself it it's really worth $10,000 to ride around on our place? The crazy high resale value is the only thing that makes me feel a little better.
