I wonder why when the Army got rid of the GamaGoats we had, that they didn't give them to fire dept in the West, the Forest Service etc...
The ones we had that were set up for we Medics to use, were pretty deluxed out and highly capable, in a lot of environments. I could of sworn you said you used a wagon and a mule to move the injured and wounded around when you were in!  Shhhhhh! don't tell anyone.... We had a tough time getting those gas masks on the mule back in the "Great War"....

You guys kill me.
I own a couple Polaris machines. Also a Honda wheeler and recently had a Yamaha wheeler.
My Polaris 6-wheeler has been the most reliable machine I've ever owned. Rock solid dependable engine. Only problem I've had is wearing out the sprockets and chains.
I have a Rincon that is alright, but the transmission is the weak link there and it eats batteries.
Ranger has been stellar. Comfortable and reliable. Could definitely stand to have a better emergency brake, but everything else is very good.

They've had them at fire school as long as I can recall...
They work good for close quarters and shorter trips.
Expensive but if it fits the bill the best why not?
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

We have the open sided version at work except ours is on the Kubota diesel chassis. it is awesome for extricating patients from remote areas as well as crowded fairs/events.
