I like to drool over 1%'r's toys as much as the next guy...those things are serious eff-you money.

Curious what that winch is rated at where and how it’s mounted. In the pics it looks like it prone to just bending that bracket down verses pulling something up to it.

Do the doors seal well enough to keep the dust out? Previous versions were lackluster at keeping anything out.

Nice looking ride, we are seeing them more and more as they are getting road legal here.

The winch is rated at 1000. Not huge but enough for a critter. Its mounted to the rear headache rack. Seems pretty steady. I have not driven in but all the reviews says it keeps dust out. My 2015 ranger 900 does not. I have to take the windshields out in summer or the entire cab fills up. I can say that the new one the doors are like an automotive door and seal tight. I could not feel any cold air coming in at all.

Looks cool. What’s the benefit of it over a tricked out jeep? Just curious.

I cannot get a jeep around my hills on my property. Not even close. I just sold my jeep. They are great but cannot go where I need them go for hunting.

Well its at my cabin so i can t right now. There are some great you tube videos on it. Its more truck like. I haven spent too much time with all the ride command stuff but t has some nice features. The flip down center console is nice with the phone holder. Has a cool phone holder in the dash also.

IDK about that. I used a 2500lbs one for my moose to get it into the bed. It dressed at 410 so maybe 525 pulling up the ramp. It struggled quite a bit at 1/5th capacity. At 1000 I would bet deer would be fine but an elk is going to be questionable.

I agree. Deer fine. maybe a cow but a big bull would need help.

Over $40k for something like this is absurd. But when you have piles of cash to burn, why not.

There it is. That's why I out it in my post. I don't have piles of cash to burn. I needed a new SxS and its the last one i will ever buy. Anything new with the specs I need are over 35K. Its all stupid pricing.

Wait until you need to buy oil, parts, or cut a spare key and find out literally everything is completely proprietary.

I have one polaris and am about to sell it and give my money to a company that doesn't play games with making parts and maintenance hard to buy

Correct. The max capacity is usually with only a handful of wraps on the spool. As it gets closer to full spool, such as when the animal is near the bed for loading, the max capacity goes down substantially.

Exactly...if/would

Couldnt you spool synthetic line and then use a snatch block to increase the pull.

I sure am glad my CNC machining company bought a quad 20 years ago for "material handling". Some of the best money I've spent and cheap by todays standards.

No need to explain yourself. Spend your money as you like. Nobodies business but your own. And yes way handier than a jeep.

The first scratch is gonna hurt.

You're right. Costs more than my tractor.
My neighbor has one like yours. Brand new...with tracks on it.
They wave every time they go by...snobs.
Wait til I find used tracks for my 4x4 atv

Tracks are brutal on gas. Can burn 50% more fuel. They’ll run out at the worst time. Then you wave.

Ha, I am sure at this point gas mileage is not even a consideration.
Fwiw, they went by pulling their ultra pricey ice castle (house)
