Troy, Missouri | We don't go riding in Arizona though. I mean, maybe someday. When I think of Arizona, and correct me if I'm wrong, I think of rocks and sand riding. In Missouri, it's hills, mud and dirt, rocks, creeks and streams that we mainly ride on/ through. I've heard that the RZR's do much better in the sand dunes. I don't know if it's because of the open spaces or what. Now, for how I drive, a Polaris may work out. Like I said, I don't see if I can climb the steepest hill and then roll it back down...I like to take care of my stuff, but still have fun.
One thing that I do like about the Honda's with the manual transmission (my Foreman has a 5 speed foot shift, the new Pioneer 1000's have 6 speed automatics, but also have paddle shifters and a manual mode I believe) is that you aren't riding your brakes all the time going down hills; just put it in a lower gear and coast and let the engine hold you back. My Polaris Xplorer 300 I had, I was always riding the brakes down steep hills and couldn't steer.
Another thing I had heard about the John Deeres, actually I read this online on their website in the description, is that it has a CVT transmission with the final drive being "shaft drive to spool final drive." Not sure what that means exactly? I also read that it is made to ford water. I take that to mean go through water that may be somewhat deep, say up to the exhaust, which would be cover the transmission and everything. So, if that is the case, you should be able to do that without slipping the belt? Not sure. I have yet to see anyone post saying they have a JD RSX. | |
