Default What would you buy -4 seaters

Bought a 96 acre farm, and want a 4 seater atv to get around thru my woods and fields. Also like the room to haul extra people, dogs ,etc. Firewood hauling and also to bring my paramotor up to my fields to go flying. Read different reviews, Kubota, Polaris crew 800. Just looking for some user feedback. Thanks

Have a dodge diesel, but too big to take up thru the woods. Like the Kubota diesel RTV, but big money, and I read the ride isn't that great. Have a Cummins diesel mechanic buddy, who's doing a CJ for a friend , with a 4cyl cummins. Lot of work, changing axles out , etc. Torque loves a weak link.

Have to wait and see what else they come out with. Sometimes buying first year models, you take a beating on the following year upgrades. But I'll keep watching.

If I'm running one daily, I'm getting a diesel...probably a Mule 4010 Trans4x4. They don't have the best ride and they aren't fast but they do have a good track record for reliability.

The Polaris Crew can sit 6 average people and has a dump bed too. The Mule doesn't have as nice a ride as the Polaris and the Polaris 800 is a proven engine. I think the Polaris can tow and tote more also and has a higher ground clearance. Either one would be a bit of a bear to move around in tight quarters.
