570 and landscaping!

Long time no posts,

I need to move 50 tons of rock in my front yard. has anyone used a snowplow blade to move the rocks around?
I will probably be moving the 3/4" granite type rock, back spreading.

any comments will be welcome.

I used the 570 2 weeks ago to spray my 1 acre with weed killer….4.2 miles later I was glad I didn’t use a hand sprayer!

Disconnected front sway bars with HL lift.

I decided to disconnect the front sway bars on my rzr. I have a highlifter 2 inch lift and 26" bighorns. This made my 570 ride 100 times better I couldn’t believe on how much of a difference it made going through water ditches and rocky/rough trails. Haven’t had any binding with the axles and I strongly recommend to do this! Attachment 136578Attachment 136580 Attachment 136581

My 4000 Mile Review

I just hit 4013 miles – 238 hours on my 2013 570LE last weekend.

Here is my 2 year – 4000 mile reflection of my RZR riding experience.

THIS THING IS STILL A BLAST! Every ride is as much fun as the first time! I am addicted. I just can’t get enough seat time. I love it! It has been good therapy away from work for me to go bashing around the woods.

I drive aggressively and way too fast on quick, narrow, twisty, rocky, sandy and hard pack woodsy trails in Northern WI. Most of my rides are roughly 75-100 miles long, day, night, rain or shine. I ride mostly by myself or with my wife, so I have tried to build my machine solid to get me home without issues. I feel like it is just broken in now and ready for years of fun.

The RZR Forum is a Fantastic place to connect with & share experiences with other off-road fanatics. I visit here daily to read about other experiences & to absorb information and ideas.

The items I have added since my 3000 mile review are;

New Transmission – My transmission broke at 3600 miles. After investigating, they said that a bolt that was not fully tightened from the factory, had let loose and popped a hole in the case. My dealer came through for me and got Polaris to put in a new transmission. Total repair bill $2800. $0 cost to me. My extended warranty paid off big time!

Shocks – I added a set of Bandit Series 46 Adjustable Rear Shocks. Wow, all the reviews don’t lie. BIG difference in ride and handling! In hindsight, I should have just gotten my R/T – 2” lift and not bothered with the R/T springs for the stock shocks. I should have saved my money and just gone Bandit from the start.

Seats – I found a pair of used Triple X Suspension seats. Yup, another add on that should have been done sooner. Adding just the shocks and the seats made the ride and handling 100% better. My wife was against me spending the extra funds, but even she reluctantly agreed how much better the ride was now and thanked me because her back feels much better after the rides.

Things I’ve Learned – RZR’n is not cheap, but for me it is worth the cost for this amount of fun. I still do all the normal maintenance, greasing, replacing fluids & filters as required. I broke my rear stock shock a while ago. The little spring adjustment tab broke off and then the shock collapsed on a ride. I also broke a weld on my rear A-Arm, then found one on Ebay and replaced it. Never had any bearing, belt, electrical or plug problems. Over 3600 miles on my Pitbull Rockers & they are maybe ½ worn. My exhaust header pipe cracked and broke. I believe it was because the header wrap on the pipe never got dried it out after it got wet from washing, etc., and then just rusted the thin pipe out. That hand wiper was a waste of money. If you have a full windshield and ride in the rain, an electric wiper is the only way to go. A heater w/defroster helps keep the windshield from fogging up on those chilly WI nights. You will have to deal with the dust issue, you will never eliminate it. After sealing under the seats & everywhere that can be, the thing that made the most difference was adding a rubber seal around my doors and adding a roof vent. I can move the vent and “ram” air into the cab, keeping it cooler and knocking the dust down. The only time I have taken it back to the dealer was for that transmission issue; otherwise I have done all the work myself; learn about the machine, so you will have an idea how to fix it when on the trail.

Most Memorable Ride – I got to experience MOAB a few months ago. What an experience! I was working out that way last April and had an opportunity to go to MOAB, the off road capital of the world. Once I got there, I rented a 900S for the day, as mine was getting fitted for the new transmission. What an experience! I got to experience rock climbing on slip rock. Climbing up & down places I never would have thought possible. Riding on Finn’s trail and Hell’s Revenge twice were definitely memorable adventures. I want to go back. While the 900S was nice, I still like my 570LE better and can’t wait to take it out West!

POLARIS 3500 LB winch. Not worth the extra???

I spend the extra buying the POLARIS 3500 LB winch thinking it is better to spend the extra for the following reason:
-I want to be sure when I gonna need it it will work.
-Want to be sure it fit perfectly.

So far I am just installing it but I am very disappointed to see that the explanation are printed in "china" and are just like what you get out of china, means no good explanation.

It misses sketch showing how does the bracket goes.
then it tells you to install the bracket and torque it. Guess what?? the Winch M8 bolt won’t go until you release the bracket which mean you have to remove the front fairlead and its bracket to release those bolt.

it should have said :
-first remove the hood to have access form the top.
-lift the RZR and remove the front wheel to get better access
-Install the bracket with pictures showing wich direction they go
-then showing the winch and how does it bolt

very disappointed for a winch that cost twice as much as the competition and have very little explanation

also I still have not figure out where is the bus terminal in the hood where I am supposed to connect the red wire???
