Sorry if this is a common question, but I am in the market for either an Atv or Sxs. We all know about opinions BUT whats a brand to stay away from at all cost besides hisun? I found a great deal on a 2014 polaris sportsman but know nothing about that model. Thanks

Don’t like anything with belt drive just due to the complications associated with it BUT that’s me. I’d buy Honda or Yamaha, especially if used. Hard to beat an all metal shaft driven ATV.

Honda for atv. Polaris for sxs. I still have my 2006 honda rancher and its running perfect. Also have a 2018 polaris general 1000 sxs and its a beast.


Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

We have 6 John Deere gators at work. Some with close to 20k miles. Some are still in decent shape and some are flat worn out. We haven't had to replace a drive belt on any of them. I'm sure a shaft driven machine is theoretically better than a belt driven one, but I don't think there is anything wrong with a belt driven machine.


May the sound of hounds never die!

If an ATV, buy a Yamaha Grizzly 700 or Kodiak 700. I’ve got a 2016 Kodiak 700, and it’s a beast. I don’t think I’ll ever have to replace it in the 20 +- years I’ve got left to hunt.

For a SxS, I’d go with Polaris. They know what they’re doing.


Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Proud crossbow hunter!

Love my 2018 Yamaha Kodiak!


Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Just sold a can am 450 last week, solid bike. Before that was a Suzuki and I liked it as well. We had Hondas on the farm which did well.
