Hey there, new member here.
I've got 3 rangers in our fleet here on our ranch, and soon our extended warranty will be up and we need to be looking at new rides.
in 2 out of the 3 rangers we've put new transmissions and front diffs in already this year. with about $12,000 in repairs in all 3 since january. thank God for warranty.
So, I've been looking at the Viking and I'm wondering if it's really as good as they say.
How do you all feel the power of the 700 is in comparison to the 800rangers?
Anyone running the Defender hard cab system? if so, how does it effect power and top speed?
I drove a honda pioneer for a few days and wasn't terribly impressed with their 700, is this one better?
How about the suspension? is the travel acceptable? can you adjust the suspension for heavier loads? any spring adjustment?. Are the A arms greaseable?
My biggest concern is reliability. we put on about 750 hours/5,000 miles per year on our machines. they're used daily, sometimes all day long. I need something that works as hard as I do, and I'm just wondering if anyone's put enough miles/hours on these to see if they're proven. It's either a viking or ranger 900. I'd prefer to get away from polaris because I'm a bit upset of the quality of their product as of late.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
