[QUOTE="LongShotScott, post: 1653391, member: 44022"] Just to ask the question, what kind of terrain do you hunt in? I love riding the Montana mountains, so EFI is a must....sometimes we are at 3,500ft and on the same day can be over 10,000ft. Independent rear suspension is a must when going up boulder fields and now that I have a machine that has power steering, I would never go back (the end of the 70 mile ride day is way better on the shoulders and arms) If you deal with steep areas either going up or down, low range and 4 wheel drive is very important too. For me and the mountain riding we do, a great set of ITP Mudlite XTs are the only way to go. They wear like iron and grip excellent. I have a 2016 850 Can Am Outlander XT and love it. Before that I had a 2006 Can Am 800 Outlander XT (put over 5000 mile on it) and only changed a stater and a rear drive shaft u joint. Have friends who ride all different brands and have good luck if they are equipped with the above options. My mechanic buddy did tell me that Polaris is what keeps his lights on too, so I never even considered giving one a try. The Rotax engines in the two Can Am units I owned were excellent and with the winch (also a must in the mountains) can pull an Elk out whole. Like previously noted by others, find one with a great maintenance record and you should be OK. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
