I'm not talking about the fact the Grizz is so tippy. I mean, just look at the size of the components, the fit and finish, and while Yamaha has taken old technology to the limits, it doesn't compare to the Can Am's. And really now, "overpriced and weak frames". You have to do better than that. Both subjects have been beat to death on the forums and have been shown to be BS. Like I said, we own both and feel they are two of the best utility quads out there, but (and it's a big "but") the Grizzly just isn't the same as an Outlander. Sorry, but that's my opinion and I can ride both whenever I want.</end quote></div>

so when people say that they have weak frames, and then noone on the forums has broken a frame, that means its untrue? so i guess since noone notices polaris's weight, they arent heavy.

I have been in more than a few pulling (transfer sled) competitions & Can-Am's always pulled great but never seen a Grizz do great they are just to light & not enough grunt to pull hard. I would have to give it to the Gade.

Hey dude, why don't you just go hang out in the Polaris section? They might want to hear what your saying. Over here you've said nothing constuctive what so ever! Bye Bye now, run along. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

It would be a coin toss in at tug of war. The Renegade is more sporty but it weighs about the same as the Grizzly,has 25" tires,low range and a true 4wd system just as the grizzly has.

The grizzly may pull harder at the start because the locker set up needs no time to engage like vis lock system as to. When a ATV is in low range HP advantage does not mean much in a pull off ,it up to weight and traction.

A 60hp 2wd farm tractor will beat a 250hp 4wd Z71 in a pull off.

TLC, all good and valid points. When I want to pull something I get my 4WD Case, Massey-Ferguson or Kubota tractor and when I want to ride in the woods, I get my Rhino or Grizzly. I also have two old Ford 1953 and 1955 600 Series 2WD tractors I grew up farming with that probably have no more than 20 hp that I have used to pull trucks or cars out of ditches. Try that with any ATV or UTV made and see what happens.

I can understand that many think their choice is the "best" and look for ways to prove it however meaningless it might seem to others and it doesn't bother me if in the end a Can AM or Polaris can out pull my Grizzly; not why I bought it. Heck, I don't even think my Grizzly is the "best", I just happen to like it better than any of the others so far.

06 Rhino
08 Camo Grizzly
90 Mule

Harley
Ossa

There is a clip on You Tube showing a Grizzly being pulled across the parking lot by a Can Am Outlander 500; don't much care one way or the other myself, but it might be important to some.

I don't think I care so much what brand can out pull me, as much as I do that any brand is around when I need pulled out. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
