^^^^ Thank you, that is useful information.
I don't have any experience on the commander but do with the outlander 800. I do think quality wise that can am is ahead of Polaris just think the ranger is more set up for work and the commander for play. Nt saying you can't do both in either tho. Just a personal preference but I do think the commander is very nice especially the pic of the one in this thread. A Ranger with accessories will cost you $15k so I Imagine the commander would be a little more by the time you get out the door with it.boovan wrote:This is where people are wrong. The Commander is more comparable to the Ranger, than it is to the RZR. For all out play get a RZR. I hunted off of my commander and had no problem with it. The belt system on the commander needs some help. You can get a clutch kit or full replacement clutch and fix that. The low exhaust is not a problem in water. I had mine over the front dashboard a few times idling, with no problems. I did have the belt & motor snorkeled, just for the piece of mind that comes from knowing exactly where the intakes are. Unless you have owned one, you really do not have a leg to stand on when comparing them. I had an 800xp Ranger and the 1000X Commander, just for reference. Also, look @ the fit and finish of the machines....Matt S wrote:The commander is for play IMO not that you can't hunt out of it. The can ams are very well built. If you are going to compare the commander to a Polaris you should look at the RZR. Especially the 900. The 900 has unreal power and beats the can am in a drag race. Also I was told because if the suspension you could put 31" tires on it with no lift. So you may want to look at the 900 RZR too. For hunting I will stick to my ranger tho.
Yep that's me on Commander forums.hbrown wrote:I gave 13800 for my Commander. True the Commander is is more suited for play than a Ranger, but that's like saying a Humvee is more for play than a deuce and a half. The Commander is sort of a cross over Side by Side. I agree with Boovan totally. Plus, I think I've seen your name on the Commander forums.
