Thats a good deal! Friend of mine paid more than that for the 450HO. He really likes the 450HO except for being a bit slow.

I'm pretty sure I'll be riding it Saturday at the latest. Been working 12 hour days so haven't been able to pick it up

The 450HO tops out at 52 mph stock, the 570 will do about 65 mph stock, that's a pretty big difference. Not sure if the 2017 450HO with the new 500cc engine will do any better but the 570 is definitely a much higher performance machine.

Got it yeaterday! I am one happy camper😊 I will be putting a winch on it and probably a plow as well. Need some opinions and suggestions. Amazon has a Warn Vantage 2000 for $197. Another $40 for the mounting bracket. Is this a good size for my Sportsman? Is that all I need to mount the winch? And is it something a mechanically inclined person who's never done it before can tackle? And I was looking at a Warn plow as well. I'm assuming I need the blade, the push tube kit and the brand specific bracket? Any suggestions are appreciated.

You might want to go with the 2500 lb winch at least. I had a KFI 2500 lb winch on a Grizzly 660 which weighs a little less than a Sportsman 570 and when stuck it took everything it had to pull it out. If I get one for my Brute, I'll go with at least a 2500 lb, maybe even 3000 lb. I'm sure the 2500 lb winch doesn't cost a lot more, I'd step up to the more powerful model. Here, for $55 more you can get the 3000 lb model, I'd get this instead https://www.amazon.com/Warn-89030-Va...age+2500+winch. It has a more powerful motor(1.1 hp vs 0.9 hp) and thicker cable too.

2500 min, my 500 burned out a 2000lb Warn and my lighter 350 has a 2000lb that just does the job.
