Side X Side Owners?

[diyer2]

Hey custom, we liked it. I have looked at SXS for a long time. This one was it, the inline 4 cyl. motor, bigger cab. I can plow snow comfortably, ride trails and ride our subdivisions roads. Plan on using it year round. We have places to ride at the end of our driveway, no trailering to ride. Access to our small town through the woods in summer.

My shoulders have deteriorated in the last 7 years living here using our ATV for riding and snow plowing, no power steering on the ATV. Now we have heat, AC and power steering. NO MORE HANDLEBARS. 

Weight went from 800 lbs ATV to 2100 lbs SXS and I can put weight in the bed for better traction. It has front and rear locking differentials. 

Our garage is big enough to accommodate it, my truck and the Sante Fe. 

We could afford it and you only live once.

Well this thing is sitting in a parking garage in town and it won't start. Turns over/cranks but won't start, 321 miles.

Went to look at it and it started. No idea what happened.

The Ridge hasn't failed to start, fingers crossed.

 

The Amsoil fluids now have 250 miles on them. Definitely a quieter machine.

How many hours on the oil?  Just curious.

[diyer2]

I don't know how many hours on the oil.

Plowed with it for the first time, pushed 8 inches of wet snow easily. Had to turn the heater down but it wasn't real cold, I think 26 deg.

Like this machine a lot, have a door rattle problem that the dealer has tried to fix twice. Seems this is a problem for others also. Don't like it but better then motor or trans problems.

Over 500 miles now. The InLine 4 cylinder motor is great, 116 H.P. and I like how it sounds. Plenty of power IMO, it has 3 modes, normal, sport and work.

Over 500 miles on the new motor and Amsoil 10W40 ATV/SUV oil. Quieter for sure.

Edit- 100% Amsoil also.

Have a 2022 Polaris XP 1000 (2-seat) Premium Ride Command.  This is my 3rd RZR in 10 yrs, keep moving up to higher end machine.  3 blocks from my house I can access trails and ride. We got lot of trails (old RR's) around here. 100% AMSOIL through out.

 

Don't have any pics but you can see part of it in this one

Here is mine. 22 Polaris Ranger SP 570.    I use it for chores around the house,  snow plowing, and a few trail rides a year.    Best upgrade I did was the wheels and tires.   It is the perfect size for me.  It is narrower to fit in smaller trails and areas.  And has great turning radius.

Mine is 3rd one from the left.    It hangs with the bigger machines just fine on the trails until we hit the open rode and my top speed is only 50-55 mph.
