I need some help choosing which four wheeler to get: I have narrowed my choices down to two: Kawi 650, Sportsman 500H.O.I really like to ride in mud and water. I heard that the Prairie has major problems in the mud due to its lack of clearance, but i really like its diff. lock, and high air box. What should I do?

# 1 Grizzly
# 2 Sportsman
Although the Prarie has power it lacks ground clearance in rear making
it a poor choice for mudding.
The Griz has a better record for reliability.
good luck

1.Praire
2.Sportsman
3.Grizz

they all are great and just cuz the grizz is third it still rules. If you threw a dart with your eyes closed at um whichever you hit is a good choice. The prire has the best power and reliability. It has pretty good ground clearance and has the best towing and rack capacity.
