A friend who works for the Polaris dealer says he's had Rangers come in that the work order said "new motor". Drove into the shop running on 1 cylinder. The other piston hanging out the side of the block. They're the best selling unit for a reason, and come in 2 sizes with 2 available engines. Smaller 570 and 800, will fit in a truck bed, and a larger 800 that will, if you hop the wheelwells with it. Then there's a diesel model with hydraulics and power steering.
They've got the Ace new this year. It's built on the Sportsman chassis, single-seat, roll cage, no stepping over the seat to get into it, something like the old Honda Oddessy and Pilot. Sitting on a concrete floor, you can reach in and turn the wheel with a finger. But it's only 325CC, and pretty loud, too. It's about just what the boss' dad is looking for otherwise.
Stay away from the rhino. The boss' kid at 15 told me not to compare anything to that POS. What a joke it is.
Honda supposedly had some issues with the big red, sucking up too much dust from underneath, and ruining the engine. It was replaced with the Pioneer. Now they've got the Pioneer 700, which can be had as a 2- or 4-seater, and uses the engine and transmission out of the Rincon, with slower axle gears. And a 2-seater 500, with a rear rack instead of rear box, using the 500 out of the Foreman. It also fits between your wheelwells.
My fat backside can fit comfortably in the 500, but they've only got a manual mode on the DSG transmission (same as in the top-end Rancher), with paddle shifters. I know someone who would have one on order if they had an automatic mode in it.
You'd think that with shows like Husker Harvest Days and Ag Progress, etc, Honda would make an effort to get a few of their redesigned units out to those shows.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
