I bet you could get into one for $9kish, I didn’t look at their pricing but the 700’s are around $11k and I wouldn‘t get a 700 as it doesn’t have a L gear, the 500’s also if you can find a leftover 2020 might be a good price as they just released the 520’s.
I want one of these little buggers just for hunting. My 62" machine is noticeably more cumbersome than a 50".I have a 1000-5 but can't typically use it on my hunts. My buddy has a 500 which is legal on more trails.

I’ve read a lot of good things about the Harbor Freight Badlands models, I’m putting their 5k model on, got it on sale for $150ish. Some are putting them on front and back.No, I thought when would I need a winch?
I was out in a flat anyway so no trees.
You air down the tires and that will help staying on top of the snow. We ride all winter long around here. Mid winter we can run in 4 or 5' of snow without having many problems. Another thing that needs to be done is reduce the clutch spring pressure with a low engagement spring to allow you to start in the snow gradually. Not the RZR dragster start, that will get you stuck in a skiff. Been doing the snow thing with ATV's and SxS's for 18 years now.

not an elk, but close enough
So I keep hearing
Hmmmm......I've heard that before, but I guess I'd have to put one to the test against my Toyota to believe it. I've never found any limitations with my Toyota yet, and even flew it off the road this summer doing 40mph. Had about a 5 foot drop off and then into a rock field that stopped us immediately. My 14 year old daughter will never be the same.....I think she's still shaking. But as soon as I cleared the rocks from the frame, I drove it out of there and back onto the road. In my defense there was a blind 90 degree right turn at the top of a hill......no time to even slow down. Against my defense.......ya, I was going way too fast for that road, but that's certainly not uncommon for me. Other than an alignment, it came out unscathed. Better than I can say for my daughter.
they have cabs with heaters and air conditioning. but cost as much as a pick up and suck when it falls through the ice just the same
They are coming out with a 520 this year which gives you the 50” model with a bed. That is the one I want. My buddy in AZ has an old 50” Yamaha and I am constantly amazed where that thing can go and what that thing can do. My mechanic abilities are pointing me towards a new Honda.
But all the cabs seem to be aftermarket. I don't understand why very few (if any) vehicle manufacturers don't offer a full hard cab. Obviously, people buying one of these are seeking some comfort mixed with capability. Why not off a full hard cab that doesn't look like it was an afterthought? Who wants to put all that money into one of these an be hunting in total slop and still cold to the bone?
