I'm trading off a Grizz and a Prairie, and I'm stuck between these quads. I want two of these three, and didn't really consider the Sportsman 800 until I read all the excellent reviews it recieved from the press magazines. How will the fare in a shootout? Will the SPortsman eat the Brute for lunch? I'm starting to think so. Please offer some suggestions.

 

I think it will in all catagories but maybe sporty riding as it is heavier than the others. Definatly in the utility catagory where the weight is an attribute, its work oriented with all the nice features (storage and work lights). Its reated to tow (1500 lbs) far more than the others and the racks are rated at 300 lbs combined. The dual exhaust, EFI and the 26" radial tires are nice features too!

 

What is at the top of the heap this year will probably soon be beat by another. Just buy what you like and forget the reviews from peoplewho are only trying to sell magazines. Cheers
