Depends on the snow. The Sportsman has more clearance, but the Ranger is heavier and can 'bust' through deeper drifts.

Overall, I think the Sportsman would go a little farther the most often, though.

Depends on how much snow you have.

IF its an average 12" or less with teh occasional gig drift, a heavybike with narrow tires or high airpressure to get down through the snow and find traction will work better.

Around here, we ofter have 3-10 feet of snow in the woods. Quads guys usually wait until the trails are packed down by skidoos first. Then they run wide tires with 2-2.5 lbs of air pressure to provide better flotation and stay on top of the snow.
