Is a 2006 Polaris sportsman 800 4x4 a great atv?

Question

Is is good for riding, plowing, and hauling? Does it have the independent shaft drive?

Answer 1

It does have independent rear suspension.  It plows well because of its weight, very smooth ride, also hauls very well.  I've seen it in pull competitions and pulling cars.  We had one customer who was worried his 800 was slipping.  We could find no problems so we brought him outside to show him what it could do.  We chained it to a 95 chevy half ton, put the truck in neutral, and pulled it up and down hills with the 800.  He was impressed and had no problems with it after that.  If you are going to pull large loads though make sure you put it in Low so you don't burn up the belt.

Answer 2

It is a work horse, not a fast fun toy.

Sounds like it is good for what you want......working
