I run a traxter 500 the thing pulls like a diesel pretty good on gas and about impossible to roll. if there is a down side it is that it rides like a gen 1 dodge truck.

I had one of those. Basically weld the axle right to the frame and call it a suspension.:hammer: Tough truck though.

Went out again yesterday for a few hours riding. Brought the oldest boy and his little 125 Yamaha. The thing still looks and runs like new for an '89. It was my grandfather's. I remember him taking me out riding it when it was new. I was the same age as my son.

Still have the old polaris 700. Still runs great and rides like I'm sitting in my recliner at home. About the only thing I have had to do was replace a couple split axle boots. I'm shopping for a replacement though. With my back issues now I don't get out riding the way I'd like. So now I have an itch for a side by side. Needs to be less than 60" wide to fit on my trailer. I was looking at a cf moto 500 today. Nice machine and well built but not much for leg room. Only a couple inches wider than the polaris. I'm in no rush. I'll find something.

Just got back from looking at a used one with fairly low miles for the year and all around in good shape for a good price. Are these good atv's?

My other option in my price range is a Yamaha 400 4x4. It's 2 years older with more miles for the same price roughly.

I'm leaning towards the 700 simple because it's closer. The 400 is 7 hrs away. I also looked at an older 400 sportsman but one walk around it and that was enough for me.
I'm new to this,I have a question about my polaris sportsman can you help me out
