    Looking At New UTVs 500cc to 700cc

    The Polaris checked most of the boxes for me. The Honda Pioneer 520 was too small. The Honda Pioneer 700 was about the right size. I couldn't justify the price. The Can Am Defender H7 looks to be a pretty good unit. It's a hair larger than the Polaris and more costly. I thought about another...

    Looking At New UTVs 500cc to 700cc

    I purchased the Polaris Ranger 570 Full Size. I like that the engine and transmission are behind the cab. Access to maintenance and service is excellent. There is a shock assisted bed lift. That shock can easily be detached from the bed. This allows for the bed to be tilted even further for access.

    Looking At New UTVs 500cc to 700cc

    You may have the Mikunu carburetor. The Nikki carburetor on my Mule has carbon fouled the plugs from day one.

    Looking At New UTVs 500cc to 700cc

    I looked into the Club Cars and EZ-GO. They both have the same single cylinder Kawasaki 400cc engine as my current Mule. I don't want another vehicle with that engine and Nikki carburetor. That Nikki carburetor has been a pain in my rear. I've decided on the Polaris Ranger 570 Full Size. Thank...
