Default Frame bending??

How strong are the frames?? What have yall put yours through just wondering bc im going to buy one and just wondering how hard I can run it I have a mule 610 now and have bent the frame, bent to many rims to count, ripped the bumper off, and broke a weld lol and I did a atv poker run this summer and loved it but wasn't fun being last.

i don't own one, BUT, my disclaimer is this:
i don't own one, BUt, apparently you haven't watched any of the Soggy Bottom Boys (boyz) videos in the video section or on youtube have you? yeah, they put'em through H e double hockey sticks and then some. i don't know if they've bent frames or not. i'm sure mudslinger2 can help you out! just my two cents though!

A lot of people complain about Polaris' ATVs and UTVs being too heavy. There's a reason. Their frames are very strong. Strongest in the industry. I wouldn't worry about it. A lot of the Japanese vehicles are kind of light framed because they have weight numbers they try to keep the vehicle under. Polaris doesn't worry about weight as much as strength. This is a video of a friend's son jumping a Sportsman and my son jumping an ATP. Friend's son went about 20+ feet around 25 seconds on the video. They make them strong.

From what I hear if you jump them a lot there could be some issues but there are a few companies out there that sell bolt-on bracket kits that add more strength. My 09 has been through quite a bit between mudding, plowing, etc and have yet to encounter any frame issues. Like MooseHenden says, Popos are the heaviest out there because they're built way more stout than the others.
