Ranger or Rhino???

I would spit out facts and terms over anyones head all day long about all the different types of utv's out there but by far the best i've ever seen is the mule its the first in its class has far more supiror technolagy with the kawasaki name and it has no belts to burn or roll over problems with high speed turns like some others out there so all in all the best would have to be Kawasaki's Mule. i'm also a Suzuki machanic and love them both. so drink it in boys its better than PBR.

there we go that is what i'm trying to tell them.

BUT that is funny you say they don't have a belt because we just burnt up the belt on our diesel model the other week. before you act like you know everything you may want to actually read up on some stuff.

Ranger 700xp

I use one extensively around my farm, been very happy with performance and utility. Has cut down dramatically on some of the tasks where I formerly used my tractor or truck.

I have an XP700. I had a 4x2 and a 6x4 Gators before the Ranger. There is no comparison. Go to the Polaris web site & watch the videos comparing Rangers, Mules Gators & Rhinos.

are you kidding me go to a manufacturers web site and watch their comparison videos they are a joke. They show the polaris out pulling and hauling mules and kubota rtv's which are strictly built for work and the ranger wouldn't stand a chance against. then the show a trail test and the ranger wins what a suprise it has softer suspension than the work utv's so of coarse it would be better on the trail.

rangers are a joke period they are not purpose built they are not the best on the trail nor for work so what are they good at?
