Hi everyone. I’m a new member from Northern NY.
I currently own a 2010 Honda 420 Rancher, but seriously thinking about purchasing a 2010 Polaris Sportsman 550. I have never owned a Polaris ATV, but I know their snowmobiles are bulletproof. Any information on the 550 Sportsman would be appreciated. Asking price at the local Honda dealership is $5500 and my Rancher books for $2600 per Kelley Blue Book.
Should I make the trade? Is the 550 Sportsman a good ATV, and am I getting more power and features with the Sportsman? Thanks for the info and I’m glad to be a new member!
I am the owner of SP 500 H.O. Touring, from 2010. I bought new ATV and now we have 8600 km and 263 mth. My theme on our Polish forum, ATV Polska has 715 posts and more than 27000 views.
Many times I looked on this forum, to find some informations and you helped me a lot. Thank you. The only person which take care of my Polaris is me. I did not opened only engine till now. There are some questions to answer and I believe we will find solutions.
English is not my family language, please forgive me, but I will try to share my ideas of modernisation of Polaris. There are few 😉

Well, I’m kinda not a new member, I just went to register and forgot I had registered back in 2011 looking for some help repairing an old used quad for my girlfriend, but just last week I put down a deposit on a brand new 2015 Sportsman 850 SP. I’ve been in the Honda camp 2002, and honestly I’m a little nervous leaving, but my 06 Rincon is starting to show it’s age and I wanted a machine with more of a wow factor, power steering, and that would be better suited for plowing.
The Rincon has been a 100% problem free machine for 10 years, but it was always missing that wow factor, so here I am lol. The Sportsman 850 is the only machine that had everything I wanted and I got a real nice deal on it. Planning on picking it up on the 13th, I can’t wait. I’m going to start combing the forums here to see every ones experiences and see if there’s any preventative maintenance mods I should look to perform right outta the box.
Hello all! First post here, I am new to the forum and looking forward to becoming an active member! I am smart enough to know I don’t have all the answers but willing to share what I know and learn what y’all can teach! I am from North TX and have a passion for prepping and self sufficiency. I also enjoy gardening, supporting the second amendment and keeping this country great!
Currently I am really considering a Polaris 850 or 1000 scrambler but wanting to get to know everyone’s real life opinions. A friend and I will be going to little sierra and maybe a few atv parks in Texas to ride. Wanting something fun to ride but controllable. Want something that’s fun to get on and rip thru the straits but have the low end to get thru the trails and up the dunes.
Would love to find some land to ride in north Texas also, but like most good places to ride or hunt are not cheap.
Hello, I have to say the information on this site is great. I have a 2014 Ranger 800efi. I am installing a viper elite 5000lb winch at the moment and have been going between forums for information. The ranger is stock at the moment will just be adding some LED lights and a radio later. Joey
