I have a rancher, I did the same thing.

The loads this machine will carry will generally be two adult riders for a 3/4 mile trip to a blind and then back.

Cold temps in my region are probably 35 degrees as an average low temp (although it gets in the 20's and teens at times).

I just did a search for the machines you recommended but there are no used ones in my area. The dealers are offering plenty of them new at prices from 7 to 10 grand...but that ain't for me.
