I am considering a utility vehicle for plowing and some joy riding.
I spotted an entry level Yardsport model at Menards that is on sale with 100.00 merch rebate.
the gas model starts at three grand, by the time you add topper,windshield ,winch,plow, winter enclosure,chains , hour meter, XLT model achieves 4700.00
Then i started looking at high end models(Maraudersyndrome)from Bobcat, Can-Am and Yamaha.
Holy Cow, they get fancy 85 HP, 14"wheels, air suspension,
The Can Am LTD is twenty big ones:eek: no plow
My last experience with off road ATV was a 2000 Polaris 4X4 425 Expedition , that I had for five years.
Anybody have any recent experience with side by side utility vehicles?

That describes the Yardsport, but the Can Am Commander LTD. might be faster than than the Marauder

I prefer the 3 wide ones so I can sit in the middle and ski And with all the bouncing of going offroading, your arms won't be sore this time either!

For that kind of money consider one of the little imported 4x4 Kei class trucks. They seem to go for 5-6K from what I've seen fully enclosed with a heater ect. Of just get an early Ranger 4x4 short bed for $1500.

Just hook up a snow plow to the front of your Marauder.

Yamaha makes a Rhino. It's relatively inexpensive compared to other side by sides. There's lots of aftermarket stuff for them as well.
