Hours / UTv. What's " a lot " or little - 09/04/17 03:22 PM

Miles on a car , clear. On UTV. No idea. I'm looking at a Polaris 400. Couple hundred hours. Well maintained it seems .... I've no idea on a 455 cc motor is that anything or nothing at all?

I had 1,500 on my first two wheel Gator when I traded it in. I have 857 on the one I now have.

Couple hundred hours is not bad if it was cared for.
Couple thousand hours is not bad if it was cared for.

If it was used as a rental or had snorkels installed, run away!

If you are looking at a Polaris you need to read the reviews on reliability and the warranty.

Bingo. A friend has a Ranger with less than 200 hours. It's been in the shop more than my Gator was with over 800 hours.

Guys thanks. I've heard some love and some hate Polaris. That's a poor score... I had a bobcat diesel I should never have sold ... it was excellent ....louder than a two dollar pistol but reliable
