Everyone needs to drive the can am defender before they make a purchase.
I drove off-road almost every day in all types of terrain. The can am hits all the high points. I can’t think of any drawbacks to it. Width, if you try to take it out west on designated <60” trails Per my research

Width, if you try to take it out west on designated <60” trails Per my research Can Am Defender Max is 63" wide, Mule Pro FXT is 64" wide, Kubota X 1140 is 63.2" wide (all according to manufacturer's website specs.)

Those are not allowed on Designated <60” NF/BLM trails also Ranger 900 is legal it’s 60 inches Next trail restriction is 50” thus why you see so many RZR’s, maverick trails, etc out west. Most trails have gates set to restrict widths also.

Out west we take 4-wheelers and a tiny Honda pioneer that’s 50”
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Then it’s not a consideration for you since you can afford multiple machines, I personally would just rent out there if I decided to do it instead of hauling one. But to each their own

Totally agree about the Can Am Defender. Came with a 4500 winch and the tailgate made to support 250 lbs. 1000 pound bed capacity and can pull 2000 lbs. Will exceed 50 MPH. Just a great all around machine. I also own a used gator for comparison.

I recently bought a small ranch in West Texas. Need something to haul corn to feeders and the occasional white tail to the barn. It would be nice to drive out to blinds in a quiet vehicle.
We’ve had record rains, and the place is one big mud puddle. Got my 4WD Jeep stuck. So my top priority is just something that won’t get stuck in the mud.
What would you guys recommend? Thanks.
