Buy the three seater Yahama Viking and thank me later. I have been VERY pleased with mine. The 6 seater version is too long and low in my opinion. I don't like any of the 4 door UTVs. I am in real estate and use it often to show land. Rides great, ample power, room for 3 big folks, best engine and CVT transmission in the business and built like a tank. Add a set of 27" ITP Mud Lites, winch and folding front windshield and you are good to go. I have a friend that sells multiple brands and he said he rarely sees a Viking back in the shop after they leave other than routine servicing.

Close behind a Yahama Viking would be a Honda. I did A LOT of research.

My Ranger 900 pulled a broken Viking out of a rice field 3 weeks ago.

There's a good reason Polaris outsells all other brands.

The Big Iron is $9000 and made of real metal. No plastic anywhere.

My Ranger 900 pulled a broken Viking out of a rice field 3 weeks ago. And I pulled 3 Rangers out of flooded rice fields with the Viking I had because their belts were slipping. Neither situation reflects one being a better machine than the other. I bought the Viking I had because I could buy it and load it out how I wanted cheaper than I could buy a stock Ranger. Never once regretted selling my Ranger to upgrade to the Viking 6 that I had. Only reason I ever sold it was due to us not ever riding it anymore. They both make excellent machines

The Viking has a much better CVT transmission than any other one on the market and the engine is bullet-proof. It also has a full length metal skid plate
