If you need a work horse check out the Polaris MV7. By far the world's toughest atv. Got to see one at a fair two years ago and was impressed. Weight is around 1,000 lbs with two gas tanks and two winches. Cost then was around $10,000!!!

The MV7 is not a ATV by Minnesota or many other states standards. To heavy.
Speaking of jeeps -
Why would you buy a $10,000 prowler that is the same size as a jeep but with a ATV engine?
I don't get it. At least with a jeep you can drive over to the saloon and get a beer and sandwhich after the
off roading is done.
$10,000 buys a pretty nice late model wrangler.

in the spring of the year when the cows are calfing the prowler would work great for bringing water to the cows in the loafing barn that just calfed for we don't have running water in there. in the summer would work great for fencing and doing other chores around the yard where the jeep is more impractable for it's bigger size. i am seriously considering a prowler right after the H1 the new 700 EFI and well i don't think i am getting another 650 v2 cause well kawasaki's tranny sucks but other then that great power.

Just for giggles I looked at the Specs for Jeep Wrangler vs. the Prowler
Jeep vs. Prowler
Length 155 - 115 - the difference is mostly bumper
Height 70 - 77
Width 66 - 61
Weight 3220 - 1160
HP 147 - 40??

Cost $19,000 $10,000 (new)

go for a AC tbx,400 or 500 models ,can be had for less than 1/2 of that[ look at non-currents], doubt if the price difference could be rationalized logically......
