some of my neighbors used to have those. Now they have Rangers.  :confused: One Neighbor still has one with tracks on it. Have not seen him use it for a couple years though.

Found one for $10k new...vs 25k for a full size sxs,not a polaris fan anyway,as long as I have heat/ac 4x4 and a cargo bed this rig might just fit the bill,looking into any mechanical issues if any?,kinda new on my radar,but I need a riglarger than my atv on the farm for year around use.

I've seen guys put Matt tracks on them for ice fishing pretty cool.  :happy1:   But, they are not licensable for road use in the USA.

DO NOT take my word for it but I was looking at those and I thought they made them street legal.  A place in Roseau used to sell them when I was driving semi through there about 4 years ago.

I was told they could not pass the needed safety ratings for crash and equipment.

Ah heck,in my case,around the farm,load my hunting or ice fishing  up head down to the river etc,besides iffin they can make ATV's/golf carts street legal (see AZ snowbird villages) this unit should be good to go on the roads in south dakota if needed

Might be a good little truck.  Can you get parts for them?

My thoughts exactly LP, we have a suzuki dealer in white bear lake I plan on checking with...Since I traded off my honda foreman in 2019 for a suzuki king quad .no regrets to date,so this mini truck might fit the bill,also gotta check on repair shops in chamberlain SD ,would be my luck not to have a rice burner repair shop in town if one is needed.

I think they would be cool to have for Ice fishing and have looked at them for a long time.  Just not going to be in the plans for me.  :sad:

I’m not sure, but when I was looking at them a few years ago, I thought they were all used? They are pretty cool vehicle’s though.

They are street legal in SD. I know a couple people that drive them around town in Spearfish. These people aren't ranchers or farmers, so I don't know how they would perform in the field for you.
