I hauled 2 bags of decoys, 5 guns, 5, blind bags. a dozen of decoys on a jerk string and 5 people the other day. It never missed a beat. The Ranger is the best thing I have every bought. I will keep this one and buy another when they come out with the new Ranger.

Just out of curiosity, what does the ranger weigh? It seems like you could take a truck anywhere you can take a ranger due to it's size. I could be wrong.

Jelly, My huntin' buddy has a Ranger and it treads a lot more lightly than any truck... It's amazing where we'd been in that thing..... If I could justify the cost I would have one; but when your bud has one....
I just buy the gas !!

I promise I will go anywhere a 4wheeler will go. My Ranger is bad in the mud. I have some 27" swap boss tires and it will flat out go.

Have you talked with GREENHEAD and Torch? GREENHEAD has one, and Torch has the other. We have a Mule and Torch has worked on all three. - They can give you the pros and cons of each.

Ranger is 1400 lbs, Rhino is 1000 lbs. I took four finishers, two dogs with blinds, four hunters, 3 bags of decoys, guns, a midget, 12 pack of beer, pulled a trailer (5 by 10) loaded with gear across a flooded bean field this morning with stock tires in a Rhino this morning. BIGGEST downsize to the Rhino is that it is COLD NATURED, dadgum it... THe new ones that are fuel injected would be sweet!

The Polaris 500 is about the same in power as the rhino. The 700 is just a beast.
