Well since I am on the nothing to do with boats forum, I figured that I would put this on here.<br />It is hunting season and I have the ultimate hunting machine.<br />It is a 1999 Polaris Ranger 6X6. Has a hard top and a 3500# Warn winch. It's hunter green.<br />E-mail me for more info and pics.

Re: Ranger 6X6

Polaris makes a fairly good machine. I have a couple of friends that have them and they love em. I don't know about the Ranger but my friends bikes are belt drive and thats the only weak link that I can see. If you want a good ride and to go fast Polaris is the wheeler for ya but if you have to do a good bit of towing and strenuouse <<spelling>> work with one, that belt will give up when you really don't want it to. My oppinion is it depends on where you're going to be operating the machine and what type conditions you'll be oprating in as to what make machine to run.

Yes this is true to a point, but with the low range available, it makes easy work of anywhere you want to go. All I can say is if you get somewhere, that you need to use the winch on this one, then you don't need to be there.<br />I have owned Polaris all my adult years from the 250 Cyclone X on up to the Ranger and have yet to have any trouble with a belt. I grant you that if you do not use your tranny right as in selecting the right range to be in, that it would burn a belt up, but I have went in and hauled out load after load of cut up and split oak with out any problems. I guess it is to each his own.

Re: Ranger 6X6

If you replace the belt every season you probably won't have any trouble with it. Try not to let it get wet while you're in the woods and you'll be ok. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to put a Polaris down. One my friends that owns one works at a Polaris dealership and I seen these machines in conditions as bad as gets and they will go just like the others makes of wheelers. But on the same hand I've had to tow this same friend because of broken belts on more than one occasion. Isn't Polaris making a machine thats shaft dirve now? IF they are that will be a good machine.

I know that you can upgrade the belt with a different one that makes them better too. Although Polaris does offer a lifetime guarentee on their belts.<br />They do make shaft drives but are still belt driven.
