I just purchased the CANAM hd 10 XT, AND I AM LOVING IT! I had a 2017 POLARIS GENERAL, and had many, many problems! Polaris doesn't really care after you purchase.
I have had CANAM before, and never had any problems. I think when you purchase, you better have a dealer that will help you if you do have any problems. I have found when buying something like a car or UTV/ATV, you can have the best sales person, and best price, but if they don't have a good service dept. then they are not a good dealer!
I hear ya and will keep that in mind on the Canam. I bought a Honda 400ex years ago and had engine problems and the dealer I bought it from was awesome during the purchase but once it started having problems they were useless!
I’ve owned 2 Polaris quads, lots of headaches with both. Bought a defender hd8 last spring and love it. Can Am all the way.
We ended up going with the Polaris but a 1000. Drove it everyday and only had the shifter cable replaced. Worked well for us during the 3+ years we had it.
I have a Polaris Ranger 900 and I love it
Look at a sub compact tractor for your land, those are more of a luxury units in my opinion. Tractor's are way more versatile.
We have a lot more we will be using it for than just on the property, this makes more sense for what we are looking for :)
I was just in your situation and after driving them both the Polaris was an easy choice, and I'm so glad I made it, I love my Ranger. Good luck with whatever you choose.
Thanks, I am leaning towards the Polaris too.
I subbed hope y’all decide on the can am never really seen one in action before I’ve had a polaris ranger 900xp it caught on fire and burned to the ground because of sticks and leaves(that’s what polaris said) and I currently own a honda pioneer 2017 1000-5 deluxe and it is the best quality machine ever!!!
Maybe I will take a look at the Honda then! Glad to have you come along for the ride too by the way :)
Great Idea😂😂 and no problem
I have no idea which one would be better, but I'd sure love to have either.
And the one on my profil picture actually is my wife ride. A 550 xp eps efi with clutch kit and the tracks.. use it only in winter... shes never had any isssues with except with powersteering at -25 celsius
If you want dependability and reliability, go with the Canam! Been there, done that!!
Both Awesome Makes...Im sure youll be happy either way!
I'd take that Polaris, much better suited for my riding. Better bang for the buck too!
We ended up getting a Polaris Ranger 1000.
Mapleberry Farm great choice!!!
Go with the Polaris after owning a Can am I now wished I bought the Polaris 1000 XP but I got the 1000 Commander its almost 2 years old with just over 700 km on it. My Problem was fuel pump I took 3 months for the dealer to listen to me and do something about it as the after sales service at the dealer does not exist just my 2 cents worth
Thanks, I will keep that in mind for sure. I was leaning toward the Polaris too.
At least the Can-am's aren't catching on fire. They also seem to stay away from the repair shop a bit better than the Polaris. JMHO
We ended up getting a Polaris 1000, had it for a few years and used it daily, only issue we had was the shifter cable broke, other than that, our experience has been good.
I believe I would go with the Can Am. if you are looking for long life Can Am seems to be the way to go, but if you are looking for a comfortable ride go with the Polaris. I don't own one myself, but have friends that do and they seem to have really good luck with Can Am! When I replace my Kawasaki ATV I am pretty sure I will be replacing it with a Can Am! In all honesty both look great!
Thats funny you say that Polaris for the comfortable ride because I found the opposite to be true, with the Can-am being more comfortable and easy handling :) But you're right, they do both look great and probably can't go wrong either way.
JMO , I would put my money into a Back hoe or a bobcat. Something with useful implements for the homestead. These things are just glorified GOLF CARTS. Heck for 20 grand you could buy a used tractor and a GOLF CART !! :)
Thanks for the input but we will be using it for a lot more than just on the homestead as we are surrounded by trails and much more other uses we want it for than just on the homestead alone. It will be used for A LOT of other activities. :)
The Can Am...yall
The can-am is way better they have less problem than the rangers
Thanks for the input, I found the Can-am definitely was a smother ride.
That’s pretty high for a used Polaris. I just bought a 1000 ranger hunter addition and it was just over 20k Canadian. I found a great 2015 ranger 900 for $13500 with just over 200km. There are way better deals out there if ur not in a hurry to buy. I love my ranger. I did test drive the defender but I didn’t like it as much as the ranger. I put over 1000 km on mine this Summer with zero issues. It has a 3” lift and 28” tires. Log into prcforum.com lots of good info there on what to buy and just general info on rangers.
Awesome, thanks for the info, we felt the price was a bit steep too. I will check out that site for sure :)
Not when you consider all the accessories suck as AC and heat, winch, fully enclosed cab, huge front and rear brush guards, and some other stuff.
Andrew Fritz To me it seems high. I would never buy a used ranger for 20k. But I understand there’s probably 4-5 k worth of extras. I have a similar set up.
Definitely Can Am
Look into maintenance and general upkeep prices of both. That's a good selling point. Are there any dealerships near by for parts?
What about a subcompact tractor?
I will be using for a lot more than just on the property so the tractor is out. I did check out as far as parts go though and they are pretty available for either model within an hour or so. Thanks for the input :)
Mapleberry Farm your welcome I'm sure you will enjoy witch ever.
go with the new Polaris ranger they improved the clutch and put on a stronger belt from the maverick, gave it more ground clearance and tighter turn radius, plus a more comfortable ride. but that ranger 900 has the cab already that alone is very expensive, tough choice it depends on how deep your wallet is lol. o and if you get the Polaris 900 be sure to have check the wheel bearing Polaris utv's are known for them going bad.
haha, true enough.
by the way you have a beautiful family
Thank you :)
Either one would be fine with me
We ended up getting a Polaris Ranger 1000 XP.
The can am if you are riding a long way because better shocks
I felt like it had a better ride when I drove it, so that makes sense, thanks.
Polaris in my opinion. AND you get a baby and momma? definitely LOL 19.9 is about 15,620 USD and I don't guess that's too much I mean way out of what I am buying right now but still not bad. Maybe get them both and gift one to H2OKFarm? haha. Thanks for sharing -#Vlarmer Nate
lol, we will be putting this thing to work to justify it ;) And Polaris is the way I am leaning too, just not sure if I want to go new or not.
maybe look into kawasaki as another option, right now, im looking at both kawasaki and polaris. none of the others
I have thought about some other options, thanks.
Niether, for the price you can buy 2 nice 4wd pickup trucks that are old enough you can work on them
I got the Ranger, but a 1000xp, not the 900.
If you get the polaris better keep the tool box handy.
Had one, never again
Thanks, I will keep that in mind.
im pertial to polaris but i could never afford a new one
Polaris is what I was thinking too, but thinking I might not want to spend $19,900 on a used one.
But i personnaly have to admit... canam are good looking machines. And actually... as confy as the polaris ...
I ended up getting a Polaris Ranger 1000. You can see it here if ya wanna check it out: goo.gl/MMg5cu
Just watched it. Congrats for ur new rig. You aint gonna regret it im pretty sure. I like the grey colour of urs !
Thanks! Can't wait until some more of this snow melts to get out on it a bit more!
Mapleberry Farm i bet . Where u from ? Did u thought about camso tracks ?
We are in New Brunswick, I looked at them but I may just get a snowmobile for next winter but not sure.
Can Am
I ended up getting a Polaris 1000.
Go Polaris. Can Am is for Canada. I wouldn't even know where to buy one let alone get it serviced.
I live in Canada :) But have been leaning towards the Polaris.
How much? $19,900 or $1990? OMG, I like them both but anything over $5000. I'd balk at.
They are close to $30,000 brand new! $19,900 ;) You would only get a tire for $1990 ;)
$ 19,900 good lord I can get one here in Mississippi for 14,500
14,500 American is probably pretty near 19,900 Canadian ;)
Oh 🤣🤣🤣 my bad
New new new
I got a new Polaris ;)
Go with the Polaris all the way I work on them all Polaris is more long lasting buddy.
I did Mike, thanks!
Drove both , can-am seems a lot better off road and ranger smoother on trail . Can-am seem more responsive than the ranger 1000. Never owed a can-am , but this ranger is alway messed up, over heating, belt going out clutch being replaced . May try a can_am or Honda . Anybody have real info, I would like to hear, just no fan boy BS
I went with the Polaris 1000xp, Have had it over a year now and haven't had any issues, time will tell I guess.
polaris every time
The ranger
That's what I ended up going with!
Well dont have any but i lok them up and they are amazing an that was a good idear of buying one but the 2018 ones are very powerful and i like too see them with full fab bower doors they are very extreme
Polaris
Hello can am the best !!!!
I got the Polaris, but in a 1000 :)
@@MBFModernHomesteading here in Belgium I use a can am traxter 500 (defender usa) for forestry use very good performance .your chain you tubes is genial continued like this
Go with the Polaris
I did :)
Polaris ranger will always out shine the can am.
That's the way we are leaning too.
Can am is a much better option in my opinion I have drive Polaris and really hard to steer but your choice :-)
Like #20
Reliability = canam ?? Really lol ive seen lots of canam riding in trails and half the time u pulling them back to the trucks lol i own myself a sportsman with 45 hrs on it... propably 23 hrs of 45 was for towing back the canams at the trucks...i would never buy a canam ... expensive unreliable machines... btw my sportsman is my second one... my first one last me 17 years and the only thing i changed on it was belt.brakes pads and oil... 19 500 km...
No offense but home stealers buy old tractors first. Just saying.
None taken, this made more sense for our lifestyle.
