Simple question:
Kawasaki or Polaris?

Kawasaki, Polaris is junk. IF it was my money I would look long and hard at Yamaha. I am a rancher by trade and for cost of ownership Suzuki ATV's are hard to beat. I have had two Polaris' and they spent more time at the dealer than on the ranch. Just my  . I am sure others will express a different opinion.

Those are both good, i have spent alot of time in each. For a 4 seater, the Kawasaki has a smaller bed, but is more comfortable.

Which one is closest to your home? There is a Kawasaki dealer here in town. Polaris is 50+ miles away.

Anything BUT a Polaris!
We have a 700 Ranger and after year two, itโs run like carp.
The 500 HO series four wheelers are awesome and very dependable, though weโve had poor reliability experiences with their other higher hp models..

Kawasaki all day. Especially if you have a dealer in town. This Mule is a 2004 and has purred like a cat for almost 20 years without any problems, whatsoever. Tune it up every 2 years and they will last forever. I'm now looking for a newer used one because wifey needs cupholders for her cold drinks. Really? Gotta make the wimmins happy... ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/03/full-6127-89451-mule1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/03/full-6127-89452-mule2.jpg)

just get a sherp and be done with it! ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/03/full-33597-89455-img_2877.jpg) or if ya think that is too much, either the kawasaki or a can am defender. I have run every brand out here and either of those will be good for your use, the mule sucks bad in mud due to weight, they are pretty much all metal build and a lot heavier than the plastic ones like polaris. honda would be right up there too but you didn't ask about them.

You 1st say say Polaris is junk. Then say look hard at Yamaha, then say Suzuki's are hard to beat?? This would just confuse me even more if I was the poster.
