I am thinking about purchasing a polaris ranger 4x4. (possibly 6x6) Can i ride these machines anywhere i can ride my conventional atv? Whats the malor downfal of both machines? I wouldnt be doing a whole lot of utility work, But i d ride in the feild, whats the top speed? The deepest water crossings willbe about 1-2 feet, Is that too deep for it? Please reply with any inforemation you have on them, I am extremely interested in purchasing one.

 

Just bought a new ranger 2 months ago. Love the machine. It is wider than my SP700 and has a longer wheel base. It climbs like you wont believe. I have a fully enclosed glass cab with hard doors. It is a little on the noisy side inside. overall i am completely satisfied with the machine. It rides great, and the wife and kids have no problem driving it. By the way it is a 4x4. Dont know what top speed is bacause they dont have a speedo. One more thing, it seems a little top heavy, but i havent rolled ti yet. good luck

 

My dad just got an 03 ranger and loves it the old guy drives it everywhere.But like they already said it is wide.And in most states like hear in Missouri you can drive them on the street.

 

my friend alex has a ranger and it does 45 on the road and he is a farmer that thing can pull like you wouldnt believe. 2 feet of water is not too high for it. if you can afford go with the 6x6 i think you would like that better JMO
