If you are going to spend that much; Polaris ranger is what I would look into getting! More features and bang for the buck!

Those prices seem kinda high for just a basic machine. Is that stripped or loaded or what??

got a buddy in Louisville that has one and its nice we have used it duck hunting some and it will pull a load, I was scared of the Polaris name at first(and still am) but I would just rather have a bench seat than bucket seats. Wonder how that Kabota is?

Leave the Rhino at that dealership and get you a Ranger. You will be much happier with it!!!!!!

Stay with the 660. You'll be let down witht the 450's power. Keep in mind that the Rhino weighs 450 pounds more than a 450 fourwheeler.
Guys, I don't think the Ranger can beat a Rhino. Got a 700FI Ranger at our club, and it just doesn't have the umph the Rhino does. The 500's sure don't.

the 450 is loaded out.. top, flares, winch, 2 gun boots, windshield..
the 660 is not wuite as loaded.. top, flares, 1 gun boot widshield..
those prices are off the BYO website..
i would be usin them to ride around camp in and takin my girls ridin in.. wouldnt be doin much pulling heavy loads be just lite work. sprayin plots seeding plots fertilizing plots that kinda stuff.. i got tractor to do the disking and heavy work..
we have 6x6 ranger here on the farm, and seems like you got to give a lot of gas to get it move.. rode in an older mule it was ok.. and i have looked at the Prowler...

I would not touch the Ranger after having been around a Rhino. My Polaris is sitting in the shop right now.......

Love my ranger!!!!! BUT!!!! takes a wider trailer to haul. Believe it would climb a tree if ya could get tha tires around it. The late model rangers are much better than the older ones. Had a kawasaki mule for 11 years with no problems. Hope this ranger holds out.

Sounds like a rhino would be fine for what you're doing. Those rangers are nice but they are huge and weigh a ton
