Try living in Alaska, Arctic Cat's are becoming very popular for the ground clearace, power, reliability, suspension travel, and rack capacity. But I have never been to Arkansas, and maybe the city of Little Rock is a much more difficult terrain.

This is a good thread, thanks for the laughs fellas!

Arkansas...home of Bill Clinton. Doesnt he ride a Honmonica. Little Rockssss say it all. Stay on your Honmonica little Bill. Alll the 4 wheeleres are awesome. So ive pulled out a couple Rincons.....theyve pulled me out to......thats part of 4 wheeling......idf you say you never get stuck then you dont 4 wheel. My neighbors Hondas which he has 4 a 350 and 450 rancher and 2 Rincons have been to the shop more than my Scrambler. Only ting I have done to my scrambler was change out a cv joint cause i had a ripped boot. I have a Honda car, Honda lawn mower and generator which are great and wouldnt trade them for anything else.....wish they made a snowmobile. Just ride your Honmonica in Little Rockssssss and have fun....thats all that matters. I ride with all different makes of wheelers here al the time and my son has a little 300 4x4 like yours

Well I don't ride with all makes, specifically Polaris's. I get tired of pulling them out or pulling them home. Sure I've been stuck a time or two, but never broke down or had anything fixed. And I promise I've got a whole lot more than 1700 miles. I'm no "know it all", but I know what I have seen. Sure make jokes about Arkansas, I would too if I lived my life as a Yankee fan where it never gets above 55 degrees in July!!!!

Both quads are very good. The rinny has better ground clearance because of the IRS, but it doesn't have a locking front differential and the motor, while nice power, is not in the same class as any of the prairies, 600 & 700 sportsman, AC650, or 660 griz. That doesn't mean that the rinny is a slacker. It rides wonderfully and doesn't not want to tip in off camber situations like most IRS quads. Between these two, I would go with the prairie due to it having the most torque and horse power of any quad, but you will want to put a lift on it and bigger tires. I have 26" ITP 589's with a 2" lift and 2500lb warn winch. I ride with a some guys that have 28" mudzillas on theirs with not problems at all. It has so much power that you can't tell the size increase. If you are soley into deep thick mudding, I would consider a sportsman, AC650, or a griz. The sportsman is a proven mud machine and the griz is just as comprable. I rode with a AC650 the other day that had 26" 589's the other day and it was totally awsome in the mud. With the v-twin providing extreme power, and the most stock ground clearance of any quad, it went through stuff that not only I could not go through, but a 700 polaris and 660 griz couldn't either. I also rode with a rinny that had mudlites on it and it did great too. So, you really can't go wrong with any of these bikes. Good luck in your choice and let us know what you chose. Remember......when someone says that their bike or brand of bike is the "best," they are just showing their ignorance. There is no such creature out there becuase all of the bikes now days are extremely good. So excel in certain areas better that others, but they are all great. Have fun....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Hey drummertot....first of all that post where you ramble on about nothing but trouble with polaris...you saw this, you saw that....i don't think anyone here believes much (if any) of what you say....you also talk about your trike....how much going you've done on it....then you say you're only now replacing the original tires....if the originals are on her since 1985, then really, you haven't done much going....so cut out the BS will ya....you are making yourself look like a real fool here.
