Probably the Can-Am, but you could just about buy a new truck for what one of those costs.

I ain't hunting, it's a tailgate party with shotguns.

I found that all have a place. Depends on the use of the tool. At one time my application was something strong and dependable. So the Kubota RTV fit my application. It is not for duck hunting. Cant spin in a rice field, but it can haul and climb a wall.

We have 2 Rangers at work and they are tough as nails. We put them through he'll and they keep on trucking. You just can't be in a hurry as they aren't the speediest of UTVs

The 900 is a lot faster 8)

It's also a good bit quieter and the modular system for front and back glass is very nice.

We have three rangers at my lease and they have all been in and out of the shop. They have the most room and are the best choice for hunting IMO but they are not the most durable. The 800 runs well over 50mph so it is plenty for hunting. I will be considering the can am next time I purchase one.

Deere has come a long way but bench needs to be wide as the machine. I have had three rangers and they are hard to beat. I had a mule and a rhino just not for me.

If you want the best, go 1000cc Can Am Commander. It will out run and pull anything and rides and handles like a sportscar.
