The answer to the question is Yes.... They have started.... But no one can say if they will ever finish.

The first one appeared at the dealer show in New Orleans in 1998. It was a horrific looking machine with an unimpressive spec list and a tandem rear axle.

Then last year, they planned to have it ready by this past Spring, but they are working around more than one patent issue that infringes upon Polaris and Yamaha.

So, at this rate,...it really isnt even worth speculating on release dates. It's been 8 years in the making already.

The Land Pride Trakker has a Honda engine in it.

Yeah, I actually have a customer who owns a 20HP version of the LandPride along with a few other odd ball products. (Hes the one in the hunting camp that has to be unique without regard to function...lol)

I rode it for about 10 minutes one day but didnt really "test" it out. From what I could tell, the engine pulls ok, but has no low end power even compared to a small Kawasaki Mule and this thing weighs over a 1,000 pounds more than a Rhino 660!!!
In my opinion, it fits in there with the PUGG vehicles. A machine with a spec list that caters to the Rhino crowd AND the Mule crowd....but has no power to do either all that well.
Just my opinion.
