The Honeymoon is over

[Timjoebillybob]

We recently acquired a 2016 Polaris Ranger. We have trails all through our woods that we can drive our trucks through so it works well for us. Grandkids are loving it!

Need to teach them to get into the trees. If they stay on the path they might as well be sitting ducks.

Sandy soil low and gravel hills. Hardwood and pines. Grass grows in the lanes but not thick. I can mow them two times a year plus fall after leaf drop.
Had a guy next door on federal land yelling at me for mowing my lanes the day before deer season last year. Shot my buck on a nice mowed path the next morning .

Yah....most people don't get it but deer could give 2 about motorized vehicles.

Hell I have them just hang around and watch while I running around the property.

Now shut the motor off....then things change quickly

Our gator has been a fine UTV. No complaints.
3yo, about 150 hrs. Used year round.

Mine does just fine going to the playground in our subdivision...it gets stuck in muddy bean fields, though.

Handled the trip to the pool party like a champ.

Is that an Articat engine?

I don't believe so. It is similar to a snow machine design and it makes pretty good horsepower for a 3 cylinder 812cc motor.

It looks like a 3 cylinder 4 stroke Articat. They made those for their own snowmobiles and also for suzuki. They are about the only manufacturer that sold outside their own brand. You can change the springs in the clutch to get it to engage faster for a snappier shot off the line. I would bet you can get almost any part you need from dennis kirk they have a catalog.

Thanks for that link, I had not seen that one before!

Discovered this while checking fluid levels & general inspection. That is the timing chain cover. Thought you might find it interesting.
