Ive had my 570 full size for about 9 months. Its a tank. Firewood, treestands.. no issues. Great on trails too. Decent top end speed if you have to travel a distance. Added a winch just in case. No regrets.
Yeah I love mine. I almost went with the full size but I wanted the profit roll cage. If the full size had it I would have gotten that one. Thanks for watching!
@@SETTAPERFORMANCE unfortunately folks can pretty much charge what they want since supplies are so limited. If the machine has some extras then yes, not a bad price. A new 900 is right around 15-ish.
I’ve had my 570 midsize 2 years and am happy. I just added a 3500 lb winch and a Denali snow plow but haven’t used it yet. I have towed my skidded livestock shelter with no problem.
I use mine for moose hunting and around the farmstead. Love it. Perfect for what we do. I have hauled a moose all in one load over very rough , muddy trail. No problem and it fits in the back of my pickup.
Got a 2018 new same machine. Has it’s ups and downs. After 1000 miles, It’s small inside and bed capacity weight isn’t very much before it squats. All 4 tires have had holes and had it in for breakdown 1 time in a year. You need a windshield and back glass and a roof to really enjoy the this.

Hi Adam I came across your channel last week just as I was trying to decide if a Ranger 570 would be the right vehicle for me, like you I have a small wood and land to care for and your review convinced me to go with the 570. I have now placed my order and collect it next week so thank you. Keep working hard and stay safe, I have subscribed 👍🏻 Michael 🇬🇧
Hometown Acres hi Adam, I have had my ranger for a couple of months and very pleased, the only disappointing thing was in the UK the 570 EFI doesn’t come with power steering, I have this week had the dealer install Polaris power steering expensive but it has made a good vehicle a great vehicle and a joy to drive and manoeuvre around trees. Thanks again Michael🇬🇧
Just bought a 2020 ranger 570 full-size in April of this year love the machine. But I have to agree they only cons are the shifting mechanism and I do lose air in the tires. Don't run it that hard use it around the yard and to launch a 16' boat. Overall I'm very happy with it should last me a long time.
You have some great videos Adam !! Would you happen to have a video on building the bed rails with the chainsaw holder ? Looks and works fantastic i see . Thanks
Agreed, i have several friends with the 900's and the 1000's that i trail ride with and my little midsize is more nimble in the tighter areas and does just great. The only major is top speed.... They are neck and neck till around 80km and then they pull away. What ultimately drew me to the 570 was it was a bit smaller and the cost was several thousand less. I run it hard for work and play and has not let me down!
I really only use mine for work. I very rarely go above 30 MPH even though it’ll top out around 55 MPH. I don’t do much mudding or anything like that. Just light trail riding here in the property, hauling firewood and snow plowing. But yeah the width of the machine and the cost are what sold me on it. Thanks for the comment!
You can get the NEW electric ranger springs and install them on your 570 mid. This will up the payload to the same as the full....free tip. Keeping my 2016 570
@@HometownAcres We went and test drove several today (JD Gator 590, Mule SX and Kubota 500) and looked at the Honda Pioneer 500 and Polaris 570). Our heads are still spinning right now so we are going take all this info in and try to make a better decision. Your video was very helpful in narrowing things down. So far the John Deere impressed us with its quality though it is a little big (and that price tag though). The Mule is the perfect size but we are concerned with it not being liquid cooled (we live in hot Texas). The Polaris is nice but are a little put off with the cab because the there is a little wall by the feet and the roll bar by your shoulders all makes you have to wiggle into it. The Kubota is the perfect size also but no power steering. So, as with all in life you have to decide what is more important.
I see your catching up on old videos. Welcome to the channel. Glad to have you here. You’ll see in some more recent videos we’ve been using the pallet forks on the tractor to bring out more wood in one trip. That’s the most efficient way I’ve tried yet. Thought about getting a trailer back before we got the tractor but I always thought it would be difficult if you ever had to turn around on tight trails
@@tomclose6643 No need for more power. The tires will spin before the engine runs out of power. If you want big top speed or huge tires you'll need more power but the 570 is geared lower than the 900 so it doesn't run out of pulling power with stock size or even slightly larger tires.
Haha Thanks Dave. It sure does give the bigger models a run for their money. And yeah I can’t help myself. I see a downed tree. Can’t let it go to waste no matter how difficult it is to get down to haha. Down a creek bank, sure I’ll yank it out of there. Thanks for watching!
Anyone remember when 500 cc’s was the biggest engine you could get? I got a Polaris x2 quad and it pulls me the gear in the trunk and a trailer with over 1/3 cord.
I actually talked a little about that but then had to edit it out because the video was too long. But yeah I had a 2001 2x4 Kawasaki bayou 220 and all my friends had Honda rancher 350’s and Yamahas Bruin 350’s and I always thought man if I had 350cc I’d be on top of the world. Now a 570 ranger is almost the smallest you can get. But I love the thing and couldn’t be happier with it. I’ve been kickin around the idea of getting a trailer for it to be able to bring more wood out at once but thought that might complicate maneuvering through the woods
I like the rack you built for the box and chain saw ,,,, What did you use for stakes that go in the box ,,, Just picked up a ranger and would like to have something similar ,,, TIA
I’ve thought about getting a small utility trailer but maneuvering through the woods gets a little more challenging. I need to connect some more of my trails so I don’t have to do 3 point turns to get out of the woods. Once I do that I probably will get a 1,500 lb payload trailer
@@redwhiteandrzroffroad8922 ive pulled a 5x10 trailer with my 400cc 4x4 quad.. I've loaded it with a face cord of split firewood and it pulled it fine!
@@HometownAcres Yes, I am between a Ranger 570 midsize or a Sportsman 6x6 570, which has a very similar bed to the Ranger 570 midsize and a similar price too. I will probably go with the Ranger as it is more comfortable to ride than an ATV
ARA¡79 I will day an atv is definitely more fun to ride but if you’re getting a 6x6 I doubt you’re using it much for trail riding. A Ranger is an awesome workhorse.
I think I’ve watched this video 3 times trying to narrow down SxS. Still happy with it? Any updates after years of ownership? Looking at the crew (two little kids I want to grow into). Any issues with your height and the comfort of a mid-size? Also looking at the Honda 700-4. Update video would be awesome.
I’ve owned it since 2017 with 2,100 miles. Haven’t don’t anything to it except oil changes but I do have it scheduled to start replacing some wearable parts. Wheel bearings, tie rods, and axles are all starting too loosen up a bit but those are wear items that go bad overtime and they are due to be changed
Thank you for watching. We have gotten a ton of use out of the Polaris. It really is a great machine. One issue we’ve had recently was with the stock tires. We’ve had 3 of them go flat. But we were able to fix all 3 with ‘Slime’. That stuff is amazing. If you get a new machine and plan to keep the stock tires you ought to get a couple tubes of slime to have on hand. Don’t forget to subscribe if you want to see more videos of us using the Ranger here on the property. Thanks again!
Got a question. Just bought this same machine yesterday (mine is green) does it hurt to run it most of the time in one wheel drive? It has 2 and 4 but havnt had to use them yet. Great video by the way
I run mine in one wheel drive most of the time. I haven’t had any problems. That’s not to say I won’t but I don’t think it should cause any problems. Thanks for watchinf
One wheel drive works great on turf you don't want to destroy. I use mine in all its modes for years. Hauled out moose 10 miles, loaded down. It works great in all drive modes. If you only need one wheel use it if you need all 4 use it.
When I bought it I wasn’t sure if I was going to be kicking myself for not getting the 900 but I couldn’t be happier with this. I’ve been in a few spots where this thing just barely fit inbetween 2 trees and I know the 900 would have been too wide. And it always has more power to give. I’ve had it loaded up with firewood in the back going up a steep hill in low gear. I thought I was running out of power until I hammered the pedal and accelerated up the hill. Really happy with this machine. Only issue I’ve had since doing this video was I’ve had 3 of the stock tires go flat. Put some slime in them. Good as new. Thanks for the comment. Hope you enjoy the rest of our videos with the ranger and now the tractor gathering firewood
No the full size is bigger wider frame so that you can fit 3 people across the front. I believe the midsize is 58” wide and the full size is 62-64” wide which is just enough to make that middle seat big enough for a full size adult. I’ve had 3 in the front of mine and it is really tight. That extra 6” of width would be nice if you plan on taking people for rides. But if you are planning to do that then you might want to look at the crew 4 seater with the extra seats in the back
@@HometownAcres aahh, gotcha ya we have 5 children, they have quads they can ride although I'd love the crew just to give them rides, and the crew wouldn't be to big for home here ,but I also want to take it hunting so I'll probably stick with regular cab, guess I'll just need to go to the dealer and sit on them, thanks so much for your input and videos, I'll keep watching 👀
I mean it depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to Tokyo drift corners I’d get the 1,000 but if you’re just working it like a piece of farm equipment it’s plenty. The only thing I wish it had was a larger payload capacity
It does about 55mph. It’s pretty quick for a utility sxs. I rarely have it over 35 though. Most of the time I’m just puttin through the woods in low gear 10-15mph. Thanks for watching!
i just bought a 2016 ranger 570 midsize.. i did a quick run down the street in 2 wheel high and it bogged down around 30mph and seemed to stay there. any idea why it isnt going faster?

It will haul 1000 lbs you just gotta adjust your springs in the back

No it won’t
Can it tow more then it can haul in the bed? If so why not just get a small trailer to haul behind it to carry more.
I have the 2017 General 1000. I really like it! Very powerful... have you had any problems out of your?

Yes there is but if you ride let off the gas for too long eventually it will start free wheelin. You gotta keep your foot on the gas just a bit
