The Sportsman 6x6 ! ! !
I owned a 6X6 a few years ago and it was a fun ride.
In fact, I could power-slide with it going down the hard-pack trails in the woods!!LOL
I sure did get a lot of second looks out on the trails...........and a bunch of thumbs-ups![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
It BARELY fit on my snowmobile trailer (with the cover closed!).
Only thing I disliked was the chain drive which I pleasantly see has FINALLY been updated to SHAFT!
I may consider one again. Not sure. Does rip-up the lawn easily.
But Boy-O-BOY could that ANIMAL plow SNOW![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Did Popo add a fuel gauge to the 6X and park feature?

So how slow are they ? Over reving at 50 ?</end quote></div>
I don't have the liberty of traveling that fast in my area.......unless I drive down the paved street. (which is illegal of course) so I don't know what top speed is.
Sorry

More that I think about it, I don't think it would be SAFE to take the beast that fast!
The old Polaris Diesel was SLOW, the 6X has spirit![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Does that make sence? LOL!
(Maybe if you want speed and utility, you should opt for the XP550 or 850.)

Lmfao ! If I want speed ill get an Arctic Cat ! The 6X is the only polaris products I'm interested in !
Nothing against polaris but they aint for me. They are the only ones who offer 6x6s ! Otherwise I'd go with another brand I've had great luck with cats and hondas .

I subscribe to ATVMagazine and I think that there is an ad towards the back for a kit to transform your 4X4 to a 6X6.
Maybe they offer a kit for your Rubi?
Just a thought![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
BTW, what's so special about Arctic Cat ATV's? Almost every dealer aroud here that had them (which were not many) has droped them

I don't run there atvs. I run there sleds man ! I normally ride Honda motorcycles and arctic cat sleds ! As for an Atv I tried Honda first they were much cheaper than AC was ! I just like the look of the polaris 6x6 if it works out well I may buy more polaris products !
As for the cat atvs I would go with the 700 or the 1000 !
But I'm more of an AC sled man .

they also came in a 250 trail boss version,and a 425 i believe and they seem to go for under 2grand.</end quote></div>
IIRC they made the 425 when the Magnum 425 was out. I saw a used 250 on here but never saw one in real life I think that was before my time riding ATVs. I think there was a 400 2-smoke like the old Sportsman 4x4 too.
