    Went and picked up our new wood hauler today. For years I've been using my 4wheeler with the trailer for most things around the property so this is a nice upgrade for us. We've talked about getting one for over a year now and i stumble upon this one for a price i just couldn't pass up. Plus with a little one on the way i wanted something mrs piney could use to get around a little easier.

    Very nice! It will make life a bit easier for you working on the property. Nothing like sitting up and driving vs straddling and leaning.... congrats

    Cool Piney! That will be awesome for gathering wood. And just going for a ride when you feel like it. Congrats on the good find! Polaris eh. Is that a bed you dump by hand or does it have a hydraulic dump?

    Love the Rangers! Hope to have one myself!

    My buddy has a Razr. Those are sick, but have very little bed space.

    Congrats on the buy!!

    Thanks guys! Gas, the bed dumps by hand but it's not all that bad unless you have a pretty heavy load. In the future i'll probably add a cylinder.

    Dave, it actually came with a full windshield and a canvas roof/back cover. But i had to take the windshield off to tow it (had to load it backwards due to weight). Now that we're almost into summer we'll probably just leave it off but im definately gonna put the roof on and leave the back rolled up.

    Nice rigs! Here's a short vid of your Polaris with tracks. Quite a workhorse… :thumbs:

    Well, the good news is (IMO) Tatou tracks will be around for a long time (they're now owned by Camoplast, world's biggest rubber track maker), so there's gonna be lots of chances for you to get into snow travel with that new buggy in the future… :D
