Just put a deposit on one of these and will pick it up in May:

Main use will be for our annual moose hunt as it will be pulling a meat wagon. I owned 6X6 ATVs in the past (Polaris) but this time decided to go with something new. The places these things can go compared to a 4x4 are unbelievable. At some point I might add tracks to the rear tires. When not hunting they are extremely versatile due to the amount of gear they can carry in the rear box. Am having the dealer add the complete UHMW skid plate package to the underbelly before I pick it up. I debated between the Can Am 1000 and the Polaris 570 for 3 months before finally deciding on the Can Am.
Go big or go home:)

Guy in Wasilla makes tracks that go over the rear 4 tires making them near unstoppable.

I have the 450 6x6 and while underpowered IMO, it is impressive where it can go.

Yea, he is the son of my friends wife. Going to try it without tracks for a year or so. The tracks usually break off that “point” on the bottom on the rear box which is between the rear wheels. Nothing a saw can’t’ remove:)

True, the old Polaris 6 wheeler is known for jambing rocks, logs etc between the duals. My friend uses his on his as a mule to haul fence and feed. Really old machine but keeps on running,
