Side X Side Owners?

Hey custom, we liked it. I have looked at SXS for a long time. This one was it, the inline 4 cyl. motor, bigger cab. I can plow snow comfortably, ride trails and ride our subdivisions roads. Plan on using it year round. We have places to ride at the end of our driveway, no trailering to ride. Access to our small town through the woods in summer.

My shoulders have deteriorated in the last 7 years living here using our ATV for riding and snow plowing, no power steering on the ATV. Now we have heat, AC and power steering. NO MORE HANDLEBARS. 

Weight went from 800 lbs ATV to 2100 lbs SXS and I can put weight in the bed for better traction. It has front and rear locking differentials. 

Our garage is big enough to accommodate it, my truck and the Sante Fe. 

We could afford it and you only live once.

Well this thing is sitting in a parking garage in town and it won't start. Turns over/cranks but won't start, 321 miles.

Went to look at it and it started. No idea what happened.

The Ridge hasn't failed to start, fingers crossed.

 

The Amsoil fluids now have 250 miles on them. Definitely a quieter machine.

How many hours on the oil?  Just curious.

[diyer2]

I don't know how many hours on the oil.

Plowed with it for the first time, pushed 8 inches of wet snow easily. Had to turn the heater down but it wasn't real cold, I think 26 deg.

Like this machine a lot, have a door rattle problem that the dealer has tried to fix twice. Seems this is a problem for others also. Don't like it but better then motor or trans problems.
