Unless the grader is pretty heavy I would stick with the XP for all around usefullness and fun. The guys that have the 6x6 really speak highly of it though and it's offroad capabilities. What sold you on the Polaris compared to the other models? If you didn't know already http://www.utilityoffroad.com/ is a great place to ask this question. I have an Arctic Cat Prowler but haven't hardley used it since I bought it last year.
i wanted to buy local, my choices are artic cat prowler, yamaha rhino, or the polaris ranger, went to the artic cat dealer and the prowler is a min wait of 60+ days and he wanted a $1000 deposit, i wouldn't order one without seeing it first, then we checked out the 660 rhino price otd is $11139 with street kit and licence, then we went to the polaris dealer, first we found out the 6x6 isn't street legal, so now we're interested in the xp, the xp has a twin cylinder is 4 inches wider than the rhino, has more storage space and it's rated at 1750lbs towing, i have mixed feeling about the bench seat, i liked the bucket seats on the rhino . the price on the xp is $12448 otd but i would still need to purchase the street legal stuff at a cost of around $500, we still considering the polaris and probably buy one but wish we could get one a little cheaper. just comparing the rhino and xp the xp is wider and longer, but really didn't like the salesman. help me out whats best??? _________________ peirspeed 252 , (SOLD)

The Polaris dealer show is this weekend where they reveal their new models. It is heavily rumored that they will have a new Ranger "sport" model with bucket seats, better suspension and probably revised styling to look a little more sporty. I also heard it may be available with the 800EFI. I would definatley wait and see what is new. I have a Sportsman 700EFI and I really like the engine. I'm a big believer in the fuel injection especially after going out on rides with large groups of quads and seeing what a difference it makes out on the trail.
I paid about $9300 for my Prowler and and bought an extended 3 year warranty for $550. My wife rolled it at the beach and I just got it put back together recently. I bought it back in Nov. and it has about 15 hours on it
went to lake havasu city today, appox 55 miles away, they had a 07 prowler for $10000 otd, also a couple of blocks away was the polaris dealer, so we were able to compare the two, cost really wasn't a concern, the prowler looks good more like a sports manchine compare to the ranger, the ranger looks more like a farm utility vehicle. also i was able to test drive both utv's, and the prowler seems to have better bottom end performance, i really couldn't tell much difference in the suspension. the price for the ranger in stock green was $11300, the limited was a whopping $1500 more, long story short i ended up bring home the prowler, i've already drove it for about 45 minutes, man what a differance between that and my peirspeed. their's so much more power and the suspension so much better, i'll give it a real work out tomorrow. thanks for you help llemnad.

I hadn't paid much attention to the UTV vehicles until Joyner came out with their version. It seems like the other brands are 2-3 thousand more expensive than the Joyner yet the Joyner is rated better in certain areas such as payload capacity.
Congratulations on the purchase! I rode the others as well and the Prowler had the highest top speed, pulled harder on the low end, has the lowest low range, comes with full instrumentation, had the most storage space, and I thought was by far the best looking. And on top of all that it was still about $500 less than the SE Rhino including the 3 year warranty. Did you get the XT? Here is a place that is just coming out with some performance parts for it http://www.speedwerx.com/ only place that I am aware of. Also www.hunterworks.com has quite a few accessories for them.
Enjoy!

Glade, It's pretty cool that the Joyner is a stick shift. I wouldn't mind taking one for a test drive to see how they do. How much are they selling for?
in arizona the joyners are selling for right around 9200 which seems pretty cheap compared to the a/c, yamaha and polaris, a/c prowler 10000, yamaha 660 11300 with street equment, polaris xp cheapest i found was 11400, these are otd prices _________________ peirspeed 252 , (SOLD)
