What utv makes the least amount of noise? I'd rather not go the bad boy hybrid route, I need a little more arse than one of those.

I've only ad experiences with Polaris Rangers for SxS and to me they seem overall pretty quite. Not alot of creaking or squeaking in the suspension and the motor noise isn't overwhelming.

None are quiet unless you go electric. Just have the deer associate the utv with feed. Everytime you drive it to your area road feed. Overtime they will come out looking for food. Just like a corn feeder it is something they just need to get use to.


Live to hunt, forced to work!

I like my Honda, you can buy a muffler attachments that adds more quietness.

This. My Rhino is not quiet. Scatter corn with tailgate feeder mounted on front of Rhino before every hunt and normally have deer eating corn within 5 to 10 minutes after I park and get in blind. This is in the Hill Country and may (probably) won't work in lower population areas.

Our neighbor across the county road has a UTV not sure what make, but you can hear it easily when he is driving around on our property. While sitting the same stands on our property you cat hear the duramax cruise up till its pretty darn close, and that's even when your waiting on someone to come get you and your listening for it. This is an '04 model not as quiet as the new ones.

My buddies 2013 ranger 900 is extremely quiet compared to the rhino we have in camp. I think the rhino is only 400-500cc also.

I have a 15 900 crew ranger and it is quiet compared to my 12 I had. My Father in law got the electric ranger and I am impressed with that thing! Great battery life, pretty quick and drive up on deer.

My new 2014 Mule is very quiet. Very comfortable ride too. Also the new ones will run up to 48mph and seat 6 people.

The Polaris Ranger and John Deer Gator are both quiet. Mine got noisier with the squeaks and rattles when I added the windshields and roofs.

..I have a 2011 transMule and rode in the new 2014 transmule today at a duck lease...WOW..Sounds like electric motor and the ride is unbelievable...The only drawback I saw was the dump bed was smaller than mine...
