What is this machine like, power, and overall. I really dont care about speed just want power for trailriding and some really light work use like hunting and trapping.

 

I love mine. I got it this past August and been going out almost everyday. I quess it would depend on your size but for me its just right. I on the small side at 5'6" 135 and I got it up to about 40 mph "racing" a friend who has a honda I think Foreman 350 (I won). It's really good in the mud, and fun on the trails... Just waiting for snow... I tried to get it stuck but I haven't found the right hole yet!!! I been out spotting Deer and it seems relatively quite since I can get within 5 yards of almost any deer (I'm sure this will change once the rut is on)

 

Had a buddy that had a 01, and I kept it at the house for about 2 months during deer season, and I loved it. I would love to get the wife one some day. She was always on it.

 

I had one back when it was a 325, but still enough power for anythign I did. Hill climbs, pulling large(900# or more) rocks.
I beat the hell out of that thing and it just kept taking it.
Had it for 4 years and sold it.

If you want to go fast, it's not the best, but it does everything well.

 

I had the 2000 model, great machine. Sold it for the 2004 model, after 3 trips to the dealer I sold it and bought a Outlander 330 4 x 4. Night and day from the Magnum and for the same price you get a liquid cooled 330 and better rear suspension.

 

The Outlander is much faster, almost 55 mph.

 

i would save a little longer and get the polaris 400.. the 330 just doesnt have the ***** it should have like the outlander does.. with the Sp400 u get the higher GC and IRS

 

Bought my wife it last year and we both love the machine! Its pretty quiet, and awsome as an hauler. I bought the Scrambler, its fast and fun to use. Go with the Magnum 330, its great, has enough power for basic utilities, cargo use etc, but if you plan on plot plowing like I want to know, it just doesn't have enough grunt. But again, I want to plot 2-3 acres, so anything like this, go with the Sportsman 500 on up. Good luck!

 

the magnum is garbage. get a sportsman or better yet buy something else rather than a polaris.

 

YAH lets all listen to BARETREAD! Hes a honda guy. He knows everything! LOL. Go back to your forum. We didnt ask for you honda opinion.
