I drove there from where I live in Kentucky, and bought mine from them. A bunch cheaper than what I could do locally. A few years after that, my son was going to buy one, and called them to get a price. He could buy one from the Polaris dealer in Benton KY for the same price, so that's where he went.

I also know several other people who have bought theirs from Abernathy's over the years, and I know a couple of guys who've gone to Benton lately and bought one there.

Don't know what state you're in, but I'd get a price from both places, and then pick the one that was closer.

Got in the door and asked for the sales guy I'd talked to earlier and he came right out. Started steering me towards the Polaris machines. I told him I'd already tried the Polaris, and that I wanted to see their Viking. Well, he said. We don't actually have one in stock, right today...

Bye...


Thats some shady business!!

I've been looking lately. Always been a fan of Yamaha, but I was really disappointed in how they designed the rear seating system in the Wolverine X4. Poor access and bad design of the system to change rear seating to add bed space. The Honda Pioneer doesn't have enough room for me. So far. I've been most impressed with the Polaris Ranger XP1000 and Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT. Very different animals, I know, but each has its strengths. Polaris is big, strong and powerful, but more expensive. Kawasaki has a better warranty, and has the versatility of changing the rear seating over to added cargo space, thus allowing a shorter wheelbase. Won't win many races though.
