thanks for the link...very helpful. I've seen a few of those products but certainly not all.

 

Don't let the fact that the Rhino is fun to drive fool you into thinking it's not a great utility vehicle. The Rhino was developed with hunters / farmers in mind - it's extremely versatile and continues to impress people who own/drive them when put to the test. I hear "I had no idea my Rhino would do that so well" very often in my line of work! It's a great 4-wheeling machine, and can handle just about anything you can throw at it - plus there are TONS of aftermarket accessories/hunting accessories for them and you can customize it just about any way you see fit!

 

I live in northern Ontario, we ride in rough terrain we attend allot of mud runs, i ride a Rhino 700 with 28" mud light it performs very well perfect for 2 riders and lots of room for baggage, all products have there benefit , atv have a smaller fote print excellent in the bush, what ever you buy I'm shure it will bring you many hours of enjoyment.

 

I have a Rhino and its a great machine, but for what you are want I'd look a the Ranger because it has a bigger payload and a selectable rear locker.

 

Gators are not very good in the mud..

 

mdgunner - did you ever buy one? If so what did you get?

 

If you are still looking, I would think you have three real choices here, the Ranger 6x6, a UTV with tracks, or one of the Argo machines. look at what the Canadian and Alaskan residents use for daily transpartation in the northern bog country and this should give you some useful info!

Also...ANY atv with tracks WILL NOT fit in the back of a pickup box! The added track wideth AND length eliminates that option
