I have a 2010 Polaris Ranger as well, but for some reason I find this big red awfully handy. Turns on a dime, gets in tight places….like zero turn mower. Plus it reminds me of my childhood which is a great added bonus. Bought my son a 70 for Christmas.



Nice! How stable is the big red?
Here's my new toy! Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest.

I'm not really an ATV/UTV guy. Usually if it needs power to accomplish, I'm using my tractor. This thing was just too unusual to pass up:
The grandfather of all UTVs: Coot. 4WD, amphibious (or at least it will be once I get around to welding up the holes in the tubs). Originally, they were 2 wheel steering, but the lack of any differentials made for a rather large turning radius. In later years they came out with a 4 wheel steering option - mine has been converted to that. They are also articulated in the middle allowing the front tub to pivot independently of the rear - this keeps all 4 wheels on the ground all the time. They're geared for power, and they just do NOT get stuck, especially if you have some decent tires on them. Top speed is about 18 or 20 MPH.

The ratty-looking one is mine (towing just under 3000# of firewood). The other two belong to a friend and Coot guru. The first shows off the 4 wheel steering, the second shows how the tubs articulate.

Those are a cool machines!
You can find out more about them on Cootworld an online users group. There are also some good videos of them in action on YouTube.
