Hello, new to the forum and Can Am. I have owned many Polaris products but never a Can Am. I am not brand loyal, I just have a Polaris dealer right across the street. I went to look at a Polaris Sportsman High Lifter 1000 today and was not impressed at all by the fit and finish of that $14,000 machine. So I am looking to try Can Am and want a XMR. But I can’t decide which model, Renegade 1000 XMR or Outlander 850 XMR. I really want a 1000 motor so that is why I am leaning towards the Renegade. I wish the Outlander 1000 XMR was on the short frame or that is the one I would buy as I tend to like the "utility style" quads. Any opinions on which one I should get? As some back ground, I ride all styles of trails so I do plan to get a second set of tires for trail use. Thanks

Hello everyone. New to Can Am/Bombardier, but not new to toys that either help me catch fish or haul deer from the woods. I just picked up a 2004 Outlander 330 4×4 for an engine rebuild project – listed locally as having "engine problems". Removal of the valve cover revealed the timing chain had slipped of the cam gear, so hopefully the damage is minimal. Either way, I always enjoy the challenge of bringing this stuff back to life. I’ve discovered some very useful information within the can-amform so far. I look forward to learning more from other members. If anyone has a similar machine to mine and wants to share some words of wisdom, please do. Thanks.

I have a Generation 1 plow on a 06 sportsman 500. Were the plow slides into the mount plate, it seems like there is a lot of slop. Is that the way there suppose to be? Thanks, Kevin

Greetings all, first post and hope you guys can answer a couple questions.

I am considering my first ATV purchase. Looking for utility, and hopefully an all around workhorse. I am seriously sick of moving wheelbarrows of rocks, mulch, soil around my house and up all the slopes I have. Sooooo after much thinking I am torn between a compact tractor like the Kubota BX or an ATV with add on equipment. I know the tractor is a better tool, but I also know it ain’t gonna be fun afterwards like an ATV. I am leaning towards the Polaris 6×6 due to its dump bed and high towing ability. I don’t need to do stuff everyday, as I am a homeowner, not a ranch owner. Occasional home projects, and property maintenance, plowing, etc. I have seen the Wild Hare system for the 4 wheelers, but its way pricey. So if any of you have the add on front scoops I see that hook up to the plow frames, do they really put a lot of wear and tear on the front ends?? Do they even work, and if so, are they worth it?? And lastly, if you have there 6×6, how has it been for a combo work machine / fun machine?? Just want to buy once and buy right.
