[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 1014614, member: 7509"] I have had a Polaris Ranger 500 since 2006. About the most useful tool on the farm. A major difference between various brands and models is the rear axle. Is it rigid or independent rear suspension? The rigid is much less expensive to manufacture than independent. The choice depends on how you want to use it. If you are generally on roads, trails or smooth fields then a rigid rear axle is OK. However if you will be off trails, going across fields or in the woods or have back problems independent rear suspension is the way to go. Another big difference between machines is the top speed. Some have a 25 MPH top speed. The Ranger is about 45 MPH. Makes a big difference when going to visit a neighbor or far pasture. People suggesting using a pickup evidently dont have mud or ground like mine when they go out to fix a fence in a tough spot. Good luck with your choice. Jim [/QUOTE]
