My former supervisor at work got one of those high output electric rigs. Funny thing was he whined and cried about it everyday while looking at Rhinos online. I wouldn't even waste my time on one, no offense just IMO.

I think that Honda BIG RED is the name, its ugly as sin but wow what a machine. I mean Honda produces good stuff, I think the Rangers are cool but I could be assumed to believe that in the next year Polaris will have that 1000cc atv engine in a UTV.

I know honda makes some great stuff, I have a lawnmower, generator, and have had 2 ranchers, and currently have a rubicon. I just absolutely hate the look of the 'Big Red' it is so ugly, I just can't buy it.

I think I am down to the Rhino 700, Teryx 750, and Ranger 800

Check the forums of this atv site. I am a member there and these guys will help you with your decision. We are hard core mudders and if it cant last then it doesnt work for us. If it can survive the abuse we give them then it will handle a farm with ease. Look in the UTV topics and do some reading. www.highlifter.com

If I was to buy one today, it would be the Big Red without a doubt. I've been riding Hondas since the 3 wheeled days and they have never let me down.

The ranger 800 EFI is defiantly what you need. Independent rear suspension, true awd, can pull a house, and crazy fast. I have an older ranger 500 that I still love and abuse. It has never failed me. I had it stuck in a hole one time in REALLY deep mud. It idled for 4 hours without a problem. Tows our 2 jetskis with ease (easily 850lbs a piece, and has 4 six gallon gas tanks on the trailer along with a tool box. Throw 3 more gas cans in the bed. 2 coolers. Lots of little kids. A dog or too. A bunch of lawn chairs and head to the lake. Lol. Pulling them out of the water isnt a problem either. Just throw it in Low, and out they come.
