I've had my Yamaha Rhino FI 700 SE for 4 years now. Not one problem with it. I did put a lift kit on it, and taller tires.I got mine used with around 1,000 miles on it. The owner wanted a crew UTV to haul around his dogs & Grandkids. The dealer he bought it from was going to allow him $3,000.00 on a trade for a $13,000 machine. I got it for $5,000.00. Runs like a champ.

After A LOT of research, I ended up with a Yamaha Wolverine R Spec SE. Bought it in October and so far I love it.

Drawbacks are it's only a two seater and the box doesn't tilt but otherwise it's great.

Only have about 15 miles on it, just enough to tool around the farm a bit but seems nice so far. Certainly more quiet than our old 2004 version

Please update this thread as you get some miles on it. I was looking at them today and they look neat.

You got a good find. I'd like one of them myself. $5,000, what a great deal.

I will try to remember. It's been put to bed now for awhile because it's just been too dang cold to drive it.

I added the Yamaha fold down windshield and an EMP rear window. Now I'm shopping for doors. Eventually would like to get heat in it as well.

We opted out of heat, due to the extra $1300 it cost. Does have full cab with doors

Did you get a hard cab or does it have the soft doors?

Hard cab with the hard doors. The doors lift off easily to take them off when the weather warms up. Glass windshield and behind the cab

We bought an XP 900 last summer.

It's crazy how fast all the cab options add up!

And you know you're basically getting ripped off but I guess the convenience of getting everything installed by the dealer is worth it.

Question for you UTV owners.

How deep of snow can you get through good tires and chains?

High centering is the problem, not the tires and chains. I have an aftermarket skid plate on my RZR that's great in rocks. However, it'll easily high center in snow much deeper than 10". Tires and chains are useless if the wheels are spinning free. Dense snow will high center faster than dry snow.

I agree, high centering is the issue, not traction, even without chains. We have easily negotiated 10-12 inches of snow but can still get stuck in a drift if you don't have enough momentum.

We have a Polaris RZR 800. I would have preferred the bench seats but my wife took one look and said no way. It had no hand holds at all. There was nothing but the seat belt to hold the passenger in. So, we tried the RZR with the buckets and the t-bar hand grip and she loved it.
