I tested them all and what I learned was ....that they are tools. It all depends on what your going to be doing with the tool. If you are a duck hunter only and you need fast spinning tires in the mud/water the Pol and Yamaha will do fine. If your a rancher or deer hunter and need heavy hauling to pull equipment the Kubota RTV is best. If your a turkey hunter and have a camp with power ...a golf cart lifted with tires is best...I have the Kubota RTV and a golf gart lifted/with tires. I use the kubota on the farm and to do work days hauling stands and what ever else and I use the golf cart to sneak...The Kubota is NOT a fast spinning mud slinging unit but it will not stop pulling or climbing. Hope this helps...

I have a 700 efi ranger and it is almost unstoppable. It is quiet and smooth. The ranger is like 4'' wider than a rhino. The rhino is louder the engine is between you and your passenger. The ranger will carry 3 passengers. The bed is also larger on the ranger.I wouldn't have anything else. RIPPY

The rangers look HUGE to me... I would think it would depend on your terrain also.. If you need to get in and out of the woods the smaller bike would be the way to go.. But open fields or good roads on a camp then bigger would be better..

Among the differences listed above, the Rhino and it's bucket seats versus the Ranger's bench seat would make a difference if I were to buy one. I've got two kids and we'd opt for the Ranger. If it's just you and one other, also check out that new Polaris Razor. It is compact and tight and from what I hear, is a great machine.

No. It takes a 6 foot wide trailer about 10 feet long to haul a ranger.

I have used both the Ranger and the Rhino. The posts above are right on with their size, power, and noise comparisons. I don't know anything about the Honda or John Deere they have out but I am sure someone does on here. Have you thought about these?
