2020 Polaris Ranger Diesel

[texelburger]

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has bought or demoed one of these latest Diesel Rangers.I understand they are completely different to the their predecessors and would appreciate your thoughts.Thanks.

Yes I’ve got one
really like it
heavier built now with kubota engine, better cab ,fantastic turning circle. Only had it 2 weeks
This is my 3rd one, keep them 3 years
First one had quite a few issues all fixed under warranty
Second one was much better
I almost bought a can am traxter but no diesel

just got one here and really happy with costs virtually nothing in fuel compared with the petrol one it replaced and the hill decent control can be handy on some of the steeper bits around here (scottish highlands) much slower than the petrol at 20 mph but plenty fast enough for here

How does it compare to a jd. Gater

I thought they were 40 mph ,one of the reasons we're changing is for more top speed ?

Thanks for the reply.How is acceleration and top speed ? The reason for changing from our RTV is to get a machine that is quicker,

Lad that works here loves mine and he also works at a farm with a few 855D’s I think and he said the polaris was way way better..
40mph here too

Demoed both, haven’t bought either yet.
Hated handbrake on Gator, put me off it completely to be honest.
Polaris would be my pick but don’t know if it’s worth the extra money compared to petrol

Much price difference

Tried both gator and polaris. Almost had a deal done with a polaris but it fell through. Gator was too expensive, noisier and dead compared to the polaris. I wanted a diesel but i dont really do that many miles a year so I'm considering a petrol after demoing a Can Am hd8. Can Am is quieter (obviously because its petrol) and I would say if you compared a petrol ranger, it would come down to personal preference.

The 865 is a different thing to the 855, Polaris really needs comparing against the 865 but still comes out on top

New ranger is best diesel by far tried most of them
less money than a gator too

I understand the Polaris Diesel with full cab,radio and road spec is around £16500 .Would this be correct as it didn't come from a dealer but from someone who had a quote ?

 

[Hooby Farmer]

Try turf machinery engineering, they were the keenest priced hands done. Rang nearly every dealer on Google. I have some prices on my post on the quote me thread.

Would be nearly a grand less with that spec roughly

2k roughly. But trade in price was ridiculous difference. Polaris offered me 6k for 2017 570, John Deere were only giving me 3k.

We have a Polaris ranger coming any day now, replacing a gator! Didn't even look at a gator demo.
