New from Orlando

Actually live just southwest of Orlando. Newb to Polaris ATV’s but not to atv’s in general. Just picked up a 2003 Sportsman 500 HO Mossy. 2600 miles/267 hours. Seem to be in good condition. Bought it to work around the property but I’ll end up trail riding it as well. Im sure I’ll have plenty of questions. Thx everyone

Help spend my money, which atv to get?

I haven’t owned an atv in 13yrs but when i did it was a 400ex and i rode the crap out of it. Now that i am older(36) and wiser i now know i want to get another atv but a utility this time. I live on the coast of NJ near an old closed down sand/rock pit also near pine barrens for some trail riding.

I am a father of 3 (3,5,8) now and intend to take the kids on ride alongs and even the wife as much as possible. I am big guy 6’3 245lbs and want something that wont be bogged down by my weight or the added weight of a passenger. Also i intend to get a plow for the occasional snow storms that we get.

I was thinking i could just get a single passenger and add a seat or should i just get the 2-up? What is the major benefit of the 1000r compared to the 850 in the outlanders max xt-p’s? Should i look at Max XT’s 570 instead? I have no intentions of going mudding any deeper than 2-4 inches.

My buddy has a new Brute Force 750 eps and he is pushing that hard at me. The price tag at a local dealership for under <9k and i see there are a ton of aftermarket passenger seats online.

Any recommendations or assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
