Polaris 570 vs Grizzly 550
 

Found a deal on an 11 Grizz 550 with 2500 miles for 4700 with no winch but good rides and all that. Or I could go buy a sportsman 570 with a winch for a little more cash but would be a newer machine. Then there's always the question about a grizzly 700 for some extra too. Views on all 3?

All great machines. Slight nod to Yamaha on reliability. Sportsman 570 is a bit more powerful than the Grizzly 550. Has better on board storage options and a more comfortable ride. Also has higher towing and rack numbers. It's also a little bit wider for more stability side to side.

Grizzly 550 and 700 are great all around machines. Not the best at any one thing in my mind but good all around.

Too bad the new Arctic Cat 700 VLX isn't available yet. You could pay a little extra and get a new quad. The base model Can-am Outlander 450L is priced in the $5500 range new and makes about the same power as the Grizzly 550 https://stlouis.craigslist.org/snd/5996408217.html . I'd pay the extra for the Grizzly 700, especially if it has eps. Condition and mileage is everything and I assume the Sportsman 570 has much less miles on it, considering it is much newer. Too bad you're not close to me, here's a deal on a nice Grizzly 700 for $4000 https://carbondale.craigslist.org/snw/6005888570.html. Its a little older but is in great shape. The 700's generally cost much more used.
