If you are going to play in deep mud and water you want disc brakes you dont want so called sealed brakes because they dont seal.I know the polaris goes best in mud but may not be a good choice for water they claim the new H.O. belt housing is water proof but I dont know I havent had mine in deep water yet.Disc brakes, ground clearence, true four wheel drive,and water proof, I'm not sure any one has all these qualities.

mark3: I see you live in the same general area as I do. You know the terrain, steep hills, rocky, muddy, creeks with muddy banks, loose leaf covered draws. I dont believe in you must ride one brand or else b.s. I'm the only one in our hunting group that doesn't ride a honda, yamaha or kawasaki. I hunt the most remote areas possible, I am always alone when I get there and I bet you know why!

Sportsman-Best performer in mud and snow. But a maintenence, and dependability nightmare.
Rubicon- Its a Honda, what more can you say. Not the best performer, but will last forever.
Grizzly- Not as good a performer as the Sportsman in the mud, but far better in deep water crossings. More powerful than either. Less maintenence than the Polaris, just as well made as the Rubicon.

rubicon is my opinion. my friend has a h.o. and i have a rubicon and they pretty much are the same. i can kill his though. because i have a 2 inch lift with 27in super swamper vampires. he has stock with 26in titans. but i agree that the h.o. doesnt do good in water. the artic cat is certainly in, in the conditions u mentioned. but i would go with the rubi with a few mods and u can tear up ne four-wheeler on the market except the big 650

the best one is the one that gets you home. a little thought on where and how you point your front wheels can make all the difference on any bike. only my opinion. i chose the ac 500 auto. works for me. i also put a winch on it (better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it)
