AKIQPilot Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 How big a driveway are you plowing Vince? IMO a General would probably be your best bet. Its utilitarian enough for a plow and you can have a little fun with it the rest of the time. Its no rzr1000 or maverick but you would look like a clown if you hung a plow off the front of one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we bought in 15, the general 4 seater wasnt released yet, otherwise Id probably have a general instead of the rzr. Idk if you plan to put accessories on it, but the amount of stuff out there for polaris models far out weighs the other brands. Im not trying to push you to Poo, I dont care what you buy. Just giving you some info and you can do with it what you want. I'm leaning towards the Poo RZR, the dump box is nice but the truth is at this stage of the game I would rather tie a rope around a deer and drag it vs wrestle fucking it into the dump box 5 hours ago, snowstorm said: i bought a 17 polaris general a year ago. friend of mine had a commander that he raved about until he traded it for a general. i have the high end one with the fox shocks. it is fast enought to scare ya and it rides handles very well. some had the front end wine some didnt. polaris is finally fixing that. they are repl;acing the drive line with a cv shaft. the 18's have the new shaft. its pretty much a rzr with a dump body. the seat isnt as low either. with the motor behind you most of the heat is also I will test drive both a RZR and General, I saw a 2017 General 1000 EPS Deluxe with a roof, stereo sound bar and winch for 18K, and a 17 RZR XP 1000 EPS for 16K What is Ride Command?

The others aren't even close in ride quality down a lumped out trail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammin Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) Go 4 seater..... Great having a couple friends / family with ya or a place to put a bunch of gear / coolers. As I told you last week, Dave has a 4 seat 800 RZR. Tops out around 55-60 which is plenty IMO. He bought a plow for it and it works decent / good.

JEFF Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 For what you're looking to do a general is the best bet. Or a Havoc from Textron, But I have no experience with those. Side by sides are a hoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much snow are you talking about? I've been plowing with regular ATV's since 2000 with zero problems, if we get snow that's 1-1/2 feet or more I use my plow truck, heck we plowed 2000'+ long & 200 feet wide race tracks on the lake here with ATV's.

Planning on a weekend of test riding a RZR and a General on the weekend of the 12th or Memorial Day weekend, I've read reviews of the Havoc and comparisons of it to the General while very good it has seats that suck, although for the price difference I could probably replace them with Recaros.

Good lord! I kinda skipped through it but, did I miss a category that the Havoc didn't win? Was impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
