hey everyone, i was thinking of looking into one of these instead of a 4 wheeler, i was looking at one of the trailwagon ones at tractor supply, does anyone have a side by side utv and if so would you recomend one?

I have a lot of experience in some side by sides. The razor is a lot of fun but not good for hunting. The rhino is good but had issues getting places with it. The best I have seen and experienced is the Artic Cat prowler. After many test drives and wheeling adventures my father purchased one. It is a great machine. Good wheel travel, good belly height, suspension has great range of motion and front and rear lockers make getting place very nice. Having a rock crawling background I tested this thing to the max. Have climbed some insane stuff, side hills very well, and have not rolled it even though I have been very close. I like to play hard. The down side, its loud in the cab. The motor is mounted high in the belly like a humvee so you can hear it in the cab. Surprisingly, outside of the vehicle its insanely quiet. I can not hear dad untill he is well within sight. It also has a nice deep bed and with the front rack you can easily carry 3 deer and two climbing stands. If I was going to purchase one for myself i would get the razor because I would use it a lot in the off season for trail rides, racing and sand dunes. But if I was getting a strickly hunting machine, it would be the Artic Cat no questions asked. Here is a pic of dads, all decked out.

neighbor has the Rhino, we really like it. I would have to agree on the Artic Cat though, good looking machine. Only problem is if you are going to spend 12,000.00 buy a used jeep and you could drive it on the road.

I use a Ranger 6 wheeler in Alabama. Gets through the heavy 'bama clay; across stream; up steep embankments and has a good box for hauling game.
