Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire UTV shortage

Been looking for couple weeks for a 4x4 utility vehicle. Dealers are sold out everywhere. The only one Ive found is the Tracker 800 at BPS

I know this doesn't help you really any but the Polaris plant in Huntsville, AL is very busy.

Same with Jet Skis

Ive heard that. My first choice is a John deere because ive worked on them for 25 years. August before we can get any. I do like the 570 full size polaris

Which is sad because the demand is there.

Not sure if it's an entirely good thing that demand is there, considering that many overleveraged people will be financing these toys but regardless demand is there.

Same with, boats, kayaks, bicycles, guns, RVs and so many more items.

Was the same thing last fall. UTV dealers could not get product in stock.

Yep. When Covid first hit sales on skis and boats went through the roof, people were tired of lockdowns and wanted to play. Then of course they shut the factory’s down.

When the housing market/economy goes tits up, at least you'll be able to outrun the repo man/live in your RV when the overleveraged house & vehicles get taken back.

No shortage that I can see. Find the damn things every where their not supposed to be. Most going to fast for the conditions and operated by morons. Calling in a big Bull in a meadow 1 mile from the closet trail and in comes 2 utv's with the operators hollering to each other they think there's no Elk here. Not any longer!


Shortages on all "toys" right now. 3 months to get a kayak then took almost as long to find the gear to outfit like I want. Shopping for a pcp airgun right now, good luck there too. That fishing gear that I stopped at BPS was not in stock. Crazy times we are living in.

When this stuff all becomes available there will be huge demand and the prices will go sky high. I don't see things being "normal" for 2 more years. That is if some war or huge natural disaster doesn't screw it up..

kwg

My local shop was bursting at the seams with new motorcycles, ATVs and UTVs when I dropped my UTV off for service last week. Getting an appointment for service in less than three weeks is impossible, too.

Buy a 4 wheeler ya puzzy

Makes sense . Typically, Millennials can’t do damn thing mechanical.

Everything is short.

ATV's, UTV's, Tractors, Implements, pickups, lumber, feed, etc.

All commodities are short right now.

In 2018 I paid 11250 for a one owner low mile ranger(1600 miles) dealership offered me In December 10800 and I only put 1200 on it, couldn’t hardly pass that up
Said they can’t keep any used on lot
When I first started looking they were offering a 10% discount on any accessories I purchased now no discount as they can’t ahrdly get any and other dealerships are paying full price to get them
Crazy

Glad I have one, hate to pay full price for anything

Want to buy a good older ATV Have my Honda Rancher apart for carb cleaning/rebuild - a mess to get to and remove - but will have it up and running tomorrow.

Good thing you're not looking for a house.
If you offer the asking price in a hot market, you'll be laughed out of the room.

I saw a $60,000.00 over asking price offer get turned down in favor of another offer last week. This on a $500,000 +/- home.
