I have 2 an Arctic Cat 700 XT has some wider rims and better tires on it. I also have a Polaris 570 with that auto braking for downhill riding. Cat is 2015 and Polaris is 2016.

I like the Cat better than the Polaris. I bought the Polaris for my wife its hardly been used. I bought Polaris used and got a great price on it. Bought the Cat as a left over and big price discount on it as well.
Nice Al,
Been looking at a 570. Even as old as mine is, it does have the engine braking.
What I need now though is power steering!

Both of mine have the power steering Mark. I thought at first what the heck do I need power steering on a 4 wheeler for. I know now. And I would not buy one without it.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I still have my Suzuki 500 Vinson I bought new in 2007. I bought the manual shift model. I mostly ride in snow and plow with it. It has never been in mud since the day I brought it home. I can't stand mud up under every thing and almost have to take them apart to get them clean again. Here is mine with the tires and wheels I run in the winter. I have the factory aluminum wheels and tires I run in the other seasons. 12 years old and less than 900 miles on it. I added a 2500 Warn winch and the factory Suzuki bumpers, shock covers, rifle scabbard and have front and rear bags for when my wife and I go up to the mountain.

I like going out after a new snow with it being so quiet and peaceful up on the mountain. Never know what you may see up there. Factory wheels on it in this picture.
Image
I absolutely understand and have experienced the peaceful ride in the snow up the mountain...love it!

Only pic I have at the moment. Posted anyway cause it also shows where I do some of my shooting.
The old Polaris has a 2 " ball. I sometimes pull my 20 cu ft off road trailer behind it for chores. Great for hauling big game as well.
The trailer has 20" of clearance for rough trails. 20" Led light bar on the front and 8" Led backup on rear.

Those 570 Polaris engines run really good. I like that machine but the Cat is made in the USA and it handles good and rides really nice. The 700 engines are made in Minnesota and are a very good engine. Has alot of torque.

Will have to take a look at those Cats, ( not that I can afford it yet ). I would then keep the Polaris for visitors. :)
