I am buying a used Polaris 4x4. I am trying to decide between a 2000 Sportsman 500 and a 2000 Xplorer 400. What are the pluses and minuses of these two ATV's. I have owned several ATV's in the past including a scram 500, scram 400, a Raptor, and a Trail boss 335.

I just wanted some opinions for which is the best trail riding, mud, work, etc.

Thanks

 

If the 400 had good compresion I would go for it.The way I see it the 400 has less moving parts so there is less things to wear out or break.

 

I own stock 200 explorer, super swamper vampires plus- when set up and maintained it is one awsome ride. but you have to do the maintenance. friend owns a new yamahoppr and he cant hangwith thegreen machine
