Review of my Polaris Sportsman 550 XP

Image
First off, I love this 4wheeler.  Part of the reason I love it is due to the fact that I needed it so badly to do work on my lease, the other reason is that it has all the features I wanted and then some.  The Polaris Sportsman 550 is a very big rig.  Bigger than I realized in fact.  I have had it now for approximately 4 months, and taken it on many trips to the lease.  The pros: 1)  It is very strong.  There is no doubt it has the muscle.  Towing a trailer full of corn, me, a passenger, and 2 cargo racks full of gear was effortless.  Keep in mind that when I was shopping for a 4wheeler, I was thinking I could get a 350 or 400 size rig that had an automatic tranny, but this was not true (or I didn't see one), so the Polaris 550 was the smallest motor that had an automatic, and I happen to like the Polaris look/feel. 2)  I like the composite rack and with the lock & ride accessory items.  I have the gun boot and this new car...

New Polar 800 trailer

Took my father's day present to the lease today, a Polar 800 atv trailer! Carried 12 bags of corn and a feeder around the property and it worked great!  It was VERY hot, but we got a lot of work done clearing out the trails and changing batteries on our feeders.  I decided to feed all summer this year, and with a lack of water, I hope it is a decent substitute for a food source.  And, its a good reason to get up to the lease and play.  Took Trevor with me, and he enjoyed hanging with me and Mark riding around on the 4-wheelers.

Got a 4wheeler for fun and for use on the lease

Been shopping for a while, and finally bought a new 4 wheeler this weekend.  Purchased a 2011 Polaris Sportsman 550 XP.  It is awesome, has all the works, 4x4, Automatic, and Electronic Fuel Injection. I went straight to Gander Mountain and purchased a set of tri-fold  ramps to get the rig in/out of my truck.  Its a tight fit, but it fits in there.  I was a bit nervous backing it out of the truck, but it did fine...
