I have been wanting a UTV for several years to use around the farm. Now with them become more sporty, it has been a hard decision on which one to get. On one hand, I need to be able to use it to haul feed, supplies, etc but on the other hand, I need more speed than many of them offer. I narrowed my choices down to the Ranger 800 and the Arctic Cat XTZ. Ranger was more for work with a bigger box, and the AC is more sport. In the end, the power, speed, exceptional brakes, stability, and looks made my decision.

My new Metallic Green, Arctic Cat XTZ1000:

Yep. I have had it to 70 going across a pasture with me and another big guy in it. It had RPMs left, but the fence was coming up rather quickly. LOL

It was coming off of floorplan this week, and the dealer said he had too much inventory as it was and couldn't afford to buy it or pay the interest that was about to start accumulating. He said I could have it at exactly what he paid for it (and the true amount, not the normal invoice they show you that still has some rebates and profit in it).

So, I paid 4 grand under retail, which put it at the same price as the Ranger 800.

That sounds like a heck of a deal.
