They look mean with tracks.

Looking forward to your reviews on the new machines. Hearing really good things on the 850's .

We are only going to keep these units until June, so a major part of their review time will be spent in winter riding conditions 8-)

Installing the M-3's will allow us to really maximize the Rangers ability to perform in any environment [image]

Went to a Very small outdoor show last night and they had a new Ranger there with a full cabl enclosure.

Quite impressive from the looks of it. This was the maroon one all decked out.

With those tracks slinging snow you might want to reconsider the cab ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I was really impressed with how well the cab was designed and the fit was phenomenal from the looks of it. Nice solid door closing, weather stripping.

It's going to be a blast either way though.

all I know on the XP is what I have read in magazines and on-line and seen at the dealer, so it would be nice to be able to get some actual saddle time and experience on/with them.

I do try to keep up on the Polaris line as much as possible past and present ( I do have some experience wrenching on them too...)

It was bound to happen sooner or later, but ALL on one trip!! :(

Mine was one of the older machines on the trial, we all can't upgrade every year or two...
