Help needed with purchase

I am looking to purchase 2 new 4x4 ATV's for general ranch work. This is to replace 4 ageing Kawasaki prarie 400's. I will daily during the summer (if in drought) reposition a 1200 Lb water reel and pull out 600' of line. The prarie 400 is loaded hard at the end of the pull with the drag resistance of the line.
I am considering a Sportsman 500HO as they can be had for $5200.00 each.
I am concerned of Polaris quality,long term dependability and reliability.
I need to move fast. All advice is appreciated!

In think the 500 Ho would be perfect for you, use low gear and 4wd when moving the water reel , it wont even know its back there, alittle maintenance and they will last along time, I service a 500 6x6 that is a 2001, has beeen on a ranch its w hole life, has 12-13000 miles on it and still going, I have had to fix it a few times cause the kids recked it , but havent touched motor or tranny other than oil changes,ect
