Which is better in mud all stock machines of course 1)Sportsman 500ho 2)Grizzly 660 3)Praire 650 4)Kodiak 450 all stock in mud my opinion is the Sportsman 500ho. I happen to own a Grizzly 660 and a Sportsman 500 ho 23 miles and 1 year old for the Grizz and 2389 miles for the 500ho and 6 months old.

 

I own all Polaris machines but my buddie has a Prairie 650 and it is real hard to beat in any situation. He had a Magnum 500 HO before his Prairie and it was a turd compared to the prairie. Just my opinion. In the mud though I prefer my Aaen big bore 440 Xplorer it rocks!!

 

no question you'll get stuck less(but you can get them all stuck) in a
polaris sportsman than any other brand of atv due to the fact it has
true 4 wd, not 3 wd like the rest...

 

I die with ever type of 4x4 you can imagine.... and I can say that the Polaris' due go thru the most..... probably because they have the best ground-clearance, combined with true 4-wheel-drive, great stock mud tires, and plenty of power....

no other 4x4 has as good of a combination of those 4 things.... all others have half-@$$ tires, and only the Artic Cat and Grizzly have as much ground clearance...
