92xj Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 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.

jbeck Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintlock1776 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
