Actual Polaris ranger?
The new one isn't due over here for a few months I understood, but is meant to be a game changer.
The old one doesn't have a very good reputation.
Yes it’s a ranger ev,new one is a Kinetic with 110hp,so probably very very expensive.

Think I’ll replace the Jimny with another Jimny.

I was told £25k for the bigger battery version.
If a gator is 30 then it doesn't sound so bad. If you say it quick as mother says🤣

But was told the kinetic won't be here til late summer? Your nearby 1 presumably the old type?

I have a ranger diesel out on demo. It’s very nice and hasn’t failed to go anywhere yet, looks to be very good in diesel . My only gripe with is it is how hard u have to drive it. Wee are quite hilly . Will it last the pace is what I’m thinking ??
We have had we're one a year now and can't fault it get s worked hard 8000 miles so far really good on diesel
Really good on our hill ground
She s doing 43mph on the flat
Our local keeper s can't get over the speed difference compared to there gators
The only fault I have with it is could do with more sound deading in the cab . But thats only as am travelling 6 miles between farms

Which the new deluxe ones have

How big is the difference on speed between Ranger and Gator then? Couple of mph is negligible.

The old gators struggled to get to 25-30mph. I had a worker who also drove 855D’s and a new one at another farm and he reckoned my Polaris pulling the rappa fully loaded uphill was faster than the gators on the flat.

Apart from the sound proofing and alloys,it’s trim and performance is pretty similar to our Corvus
We could have got alloys as an option but the flaming thing cost enough as it was
What is the rated towing capacity of the corvus? Don't no if I could have one every time I see corvus I think Corona virus. Is it a lot bigger than the Polaris? Before I got mine I tried a mule it was just to big a lump as soon as Polaris turned up for demo on trailer i thought that just looks right

Just looked it's 234kg less towing capacity and 270kg less bed capacity even though it looks to have a bigger load bed 41mm less ground clearance .68m more. Turning circle

I’ll have to check, they have altered a few bits since the test, I know they listened to the uk dealership and improved the turning circle, I’ve not had any ground clearance issues yet and we travel across moor and steep “rushy “ ground
The rear tray is quite big and in honesty a little high which makes chucking things like drums of molasses a bit of a pain!
Don’t want to ruin the OP thread but can give an honest six months appraisal of the Corvus.. warts and all !

just had a quick look, ground clearance is 309mm
Towing 907kg
Rear tup carrying 450kg

Looking to buy a 2nd hand Polaris Ranger 1000 diesel and selling the old quad.
Budget £10000 as it won't get used as much as you boys do, thoughts please.
Thanks
