Hi everyone. I would like to get feed back from owners of Polaris atv's and Ranger's. I'm heading to Minesota to meet with them as a prospect dealor for their products. Our core business is in the lawn/garden and compact tractors. We would like to complete our current lines with UTV and ATV products. So what do you think of them? (Product wise and company wise). Do you own? if yes what model? Would you recommend Polaris? Would you buy a Polaris again and be a repeat customer?

Thanks in advance for your comments!!

 

If you are seeking advice on spending tons of up front cash from people you don't know you have bigger ***** than I do! All I can tell you is Polaris is either number 1 or 2 in sales in the USA and from what I have personally seen the Rangers are gaining in popularity every year. I am sure Polaris reps have all the fiqures you need and more. Your core base for customers is in your back yard. Not on a web site. Just my 2 cents worth but if I were to open up a dealership for ATV's I would pick Polaris

 

Thank's for your cander. It's appreciated. In my backyard, Polaris is under reprensented. I'm wondering if the products are to blame or is it a mater of the company not adressing the area with proper marketing. We're based in Canada in the province of quebec. This is Bombardier territory, therefore we need a product that is capable of braking away from the tradition. Plus we want to match the need of our customers with a tough machine (more work than play). We see the ATP, Sportsman and the Rangers as our target. We're not at this time oriented toward becoming a recreational shop.

Please keep the comments comming.

Get a 6 x 6 and put a set of tracks on it. I dare any other ATV to follow it thru the mud and tundra. If this won't convert Bombardier owners to switch nothing will. I would take a guess and say that Polaris sells at least three times as many ATV's as Bombardier. Nuff said.

I know. I sold all my ATV's a few years ago as I never had the time to go hunting. I made my son a promise this year we would go moose hunting next fall so the VERY first thing I did was to order a new 6 x 6 which I pick up next month. I owned my previous one (370 cc 2 stroke) for five years and only had to replace some brake pads and front hub seals. I didnt have tracks on it but it was kinda fun to be pulling a meat wagon weighing about 500 pounds and drive around 4 wheel drive ATV's not pulling a trailer that were stuck in the mud. There are quite a few people that complain the 6 x 6 doesnt turn, is to heavy, etc. But it is as easy to drive as any other atv. It is not a sport quad and wasnt designed to be. It is designed to take you and a huge load over terrain that other ATV's would fear to tread. I bet half of all ATV's I see while hunting in the tundra here in Alaska are Polaris with half of those being the 6 x 6. We go back 25 miles to set up moose camp and in a wet year it takes us 14 hours to do it to give you an idea of how difficult the terrain can be. If we have a wet summer next year I am going to add the tracks.

 

500HO nice machine fast enough for me gets me there... good mudder and yes i would recommend it, already have

 

polaris will never be #1 and neither will anyone else. honda has always been #1 and always will be #1. now i know some of you guys will say " polaris or somebody else could become #1" no they wont, well not for many years to come.
