Thanks for the shout out! I love to talk tractors. Congratulations on your new side by side!
Love it, Iooked at a camo limited last week and am thinking about buying one next. I have the xp1000 Ranger now with half doors and the dust kills us riding on the farm. Keep the videos coming ! 🇺🇸
Thank you, you made my Monday. The ranger is and excellent machine also. My wife really is pleased with the cab, power windows and air. We go for a ride almost every night around our small property. After dinner on our patio she asked if i would take her mother for a property drive...wow that's what i want to hear. Stay healthy and let me know what your purchase.
Saturday morning coffee and finally the Marauder review of his new Defender, good job on the build and congrats bud!!!
Thank you for your support, she’s a pleaser I’ll tell you, hard to trade the xmr. I’m sorry about my shirt, not the best look. 🙂
@@maraudermitchelli Lol about the shirt,I like you choice of upgrades but where is the stereo? future upgrade?
TheRiley8 I should have mentioned that. the dealer has one ordered for stock, but I don’t know that I would use it. I’m either enjoying the engine sounds, working or filming...🙂
@@maraudermitchelli Did Super ATV not recommend you upgrade the front axel's because of the A arm upgrade?
TheRiley8 they said stock axles are fine, there is no lift/height change with these A arms, the axles actually look like they are more inline with hub. The cost of SA’s arms with ball joints were the same as S3 without ball joints.
I really enjoy watching your videos and love the new intro. As you know I decided to go with the 2021 XMR and finally picked up my new machine yesterday. I was thinking how similar we are in what we buy and the lifestyle we lead. I live on 6 acres, I bought a 3 series JD, X6 M BMW, F350 truck and several BRP products.....we are also very close in age. Your videos are down to earth and practical for viewers. I am also looking to start a channel, which you have provided me inspiration to do so. Keep your videos coming and love your new machine!
Mark Paolini awesome mark thank you. You’re probably in better shape and nicer looking lol. Enjoy your machines and good luck with your channel. It’s an interesting hobby and has motivated me to work around my property more. Stay healthy 🙂
Excellent how to videos, thank you for sharing.
David I'm honored and your welcome.
Now that is a beautiful machine! Love it.
Thanks GB I love it also 🙂 thank you for commenting and watching!
Your videos are great you actually help me decide to buy a can am limited I found one to it’s a 2021 I’m gonna pick it up
Norm that's awesome I hope you enjoy your new machine. Defender is great looking. I'm happy to have helped.
Great video! I found your Chanel when you were helping your brother choose between the Deere and the Can Am. I am also considering selling my ranger and going with one of these. I would love to see a follow up video of his gator and thoughts after owning it for awhile. Keep up the good work!
DCC8439 I have to do that video, coming soon. It sits in his garage spotless with additional accessories. Thank you for supporting the channel stay healthy 🙂
The cab could extend the riding season and make it much more comfortable. I like it, can't beat a cab like that.
You are correct, I'm also looking forward to driving my property during the winter with my wife. I'm really hesitant to take it on the trail...we'll see if that changes. Thank you for commenting.
Let us know with the 2" forward a arms if the restricted turning radius is an issue in the woods or on tight trails. Never had a Can Am but been saving up for one.
Mark Volesky wow that’s the big mystery! I’m not even sure the spacers are necessary...hmm I thought they were for the tires rubbing against something...I wonder if the rack could over extend...I’m call SA Monday. I think I’m going to have issues on 5 turns. Stay tuned!
I have a 2013 ranger and your defender beats it in every way, I want one so bad 😅
She's a looker
Watched several of your video's, thx Marauder, now that you have a 2020 Defender Limited an oil change will be necessary at some point. There is not a video online I have found to do an oil change on 2020 Can am Defender Limited. HD 10 engine. The engine is cast different than all other Defender HD 10's. The Manual provided does not show the area of location of oil filter for the limited, it's boiler plate of all other Defender's. Make sure you include an extendable magnet in the tool list to change oil. Good Luck, can't wait to see your comments about filter location on your upcoming video (If you do one) Thx again for great video's
Hi Don, i't's going to be a while until i need an Oil change, but i will post it. Thank you for commenting. :)
Nice ride. Enjoy my friend
Dwayne Barill thank you, I’m trying not to get it dirty...can you believe that?! I can’t 🙃 thank you for watching stay healthy.
Good looking rig, I love my defender, I wish I would have gotten doors at the time of purchase. I wish there were more aftermarket bed accessories. BRP brand accessories are too expensive!
James doors, and a winch are a must have on sxs's. You can always add doors, i have a video on installing doors. Thank you for commenting stay healthy.
The camo looks sharp!! Nice ride! Is the cab as quiet as they say?
My buddy had a 2018 General 4. He had nothing but problems with it. Had to replace almost everything but the engine. He bought a Defender 4 seater and really likes it. So far after a summer of riding & work on the ranch it’s held up well. 2 weeks ago I went dirt bike riding on the mountain with my son for his 17th birthday. Long story short I wrecked and broke several bones in my right foot. Longest 25 miles down the mountain I’ve ever experienced! During that ride down I was thinking about a different ride. Something with 4 wheels. Like a Defender 4. But I also want a compact tractor too. 😆 So many decisions. Great channel! If you ever head west to Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone you should plan a little time to ride the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming. We’re halfway between Rushmore & Yellowstone. Guaranteed you’ll see moose!! Fisher’s Off Road did a couple of videos of riding in the Bighorns. Anyway nice review! Enjoy that ride! Cheers! Jason
Jason we retire to roll bars don’t we! I’m very sorry about your injury I’ve been there not fun. There are so many sxs to choose from which depends on your trails and driving technique...so many! I’m glad your friend likes his defender. Your area is beautiful, I saw the Fisher special amazing nature . Let me know what machine you choose. Thank you for your support get well! 🙂
Very nice machine. I really want one
I hope you get one soon. Thank you for watching stay healthy.
I have a Polaris ranger 1000 xp with full cab and heater as well as ride command which is main reason I got the Polaris over the Can Am.
Just got the tracks for ice fishing and love my machine and have had no issues .
To me both Can Am and Polaris have the best closed cabs compared to anything else out there . I guess it’s like trucks your either a Ford or Chevy guy
In my view john Deere and kubota are not even in same league as these machines
I agree...but my brother loves his Gator cab. Stay Healthy and thank you
Congrats on the new machine.
Donald Tripp thank you Don, I hope you enjoyed the video. I like it so much I don’t want it beat up 🤕 on the trail. Stay healthy!
@@maraudermitchelli I'm taking our X MR for a trail ride today, so we'll get dirty for you. You and the family stay healthy as well.
Donald Tripp awesome, love it have a great time Dad 😊
I wanted to know about that chainsaw mount. Haha the only thing you didn't talk about.
I can't remember if I mentioned the chainsaw scabbard in this video. It is a Polaris Ranger chainsaw scabbard which was my favorite accessory I did not trade it with the Ranger. I shaped a piece of wood to adapt the Ranger chainsaw scabbard to the Defender...it works well. Thank you for supporting the channel.
Nice machine and a great video as always! I have the want. A
ll I am lacking is the money! :-)
I understand, i started buying, selling, and trading these machines 20 years ago. Most of that time i only had one machine. It's nice to trade them when they still have a good value. I'll hang onto this machine for awhile and it may never see the trail...hard to get that trail mud off the machine. Thank you for commenting, and i hope you stay healthy. BTW believe me i have the want for other things and don't have the money...if it was up to my wife i'd be collecting matchboxes!
I just subscribed to this great channel. I really enjoyed the videos that you had of the XMR and look forward to seeing more of the Limited. I recently bought a Defender HD8 to use around the yard on my property here in Vermont. Will you be installing a snow plow on your Limited? I'm considering a 6 foot KFI poly plow for my HD8. Thanks for keeping this channel "real". -Andy
plumber802 well you made my morning thank you. You have a great machine. I use my tractor to snow blow but I’ve considered buying a plow for the defender if I get rid of my tractor in years to come. Thank you fir subscribing stay tuned 🙂
Awesome machine!
Thank you bttb I’m glad you like, I did like the xmr hard to trade. Stay safe 🙂
Congrats Pete
Todd Reed awesome man thank you! I don’t know if it will ever hit the trail! I’ll see you soon after I look over the instructions. 🙂
@@maraudermitchelli okay
In few words, Gator vs defender. Both fully equipped, what you like or not!
Gaston Gelinas Defender all the way. For my property, work, touring, trail riding the Defender just out performs the gator. But my brother does not trail ride, he bleeds green and the jd financing was 0% he kept his cash in the bank. Polaris is a strong unit also. It comes down to personal preference. Hope this helps stay safe 😊
nice set up. Approx How much are the Defender Flares from the dealer?
Sir I’m sorry I can’t remember…I thought they were reasonable maybe $300 for the set pre Covid…I’m sorry I don’t remember I may have stated the quite in the video where I install them. Should be on Can Am site. Happy holidays 😊
Hey there, I recently came across your channel while researching for my first utv. Im curious as to why you switched from an Xmr to the limited? I apologise if you explained the reasoning behind the swap in this video, I may have missed it. But if you could reiterate I would really appreciate it. Thank you. Love your videos by the way. They're real world, honest, and I like how you go into detail as to why you do or change different things on your UTV's.
Michael very nice if you thank you 😊 my wife and I take frequent rides around our property and the cab makes it do much nicer even during the summer with bugs and heat. It’s like a tractor once you have a cab you’re spoiled.
Hi Pete
I have a 2021 Defender Limited on order and have been researching for a method of installing a 7 or 8 inch GPS. The XMR has such an accessory but with the heat/ac controls and windshield release on the Limited it appears not able to use. Just wondering in you or your followers have any suggestions?
Love your channel.....keep it up!!!!
Canadian viewer
Thanks
Monte
Viewers please help Monte! I love your name. No i don't but please forward if find one. The Polaris system is impressive no doubt. If i find one i'll let you know. The is a trail app called Trail Boss, it's pretty simple but i like it. I use it on my phone, maybe that will help until you find a mount for something larger. Weather-tech makes a phone holder that goes in a cup holder. Let me know Monte you love your machine. stay safe
I have a 2020 Defender Limited with stock suspension. When I search around 32s seem to rub a little and 30s clear just fine, but I was wondering about 31s. Would you say 31s might clear? Do you think your machine would have cleared stock suspension if your tire were just 1 inch smaller?
Stock suspension I would use 30” tires. My looks really good with 32”...but I would’ve been fine with 30” tires. Stay safe 🙂
How is the fuel economy on these side-by-sides? Compared to a really small car (by USA standards)... Could they be used instead of a car, for driving small distances (20-40 km.)? I know ATV "drinks" relativly much fuel compared to a small car, but is the side-by-sides any better in that regard. The reason I wonder, is because I wonder if a side-by-side such as this, may make a good "car" to use at an older age when it may be more difficult to get into a smaller car / moped car (yes we have those in Europa, slow, tiny cars with what seems to be a moped engine). Such a side by side seems quite easy to get in and out of, and for a single person, who only does a litte bit of grocery shopping at times, this could perhaps be an option rather than a small car that is more cumbersome to get in and out of, is perhaps more expensive to purchase, e.t.c.
Should make a point of that in my country, Norway, we can drive ATVˋs on the road, by classifying them as a tractor. In nature though we cannot drive them without a spesific business purpose, as not to disturb nature too much.
Jens Petter IkkeOppført I think the mpg would be low on the round the way they are gear...under 25mph may be fine. Rumors are they will follow Honda and have geared transmissions no cvt that could be a game changer. Also they would not meet our country’s crash standards, Canada and some areas of United States allows them on the road, rural areas near trails. Good question let’s keep are fingers crossed 🤞 btw we have small cars here they go in and out of fashion. 🙂
@@maraudermitchelli Yeah, I just never thought of USA having small cars since everything seems to be so big in the USA compared to in Europe. As for road / crash standards, in Norway, ATVˋs is generally limited in what speeds you can drive them at, according to which class you register the ATV as (moped (24,8 mph), tractor (37,2 mph), tractor with ABS brakes (65 mph). Thus the risks in a crash is less, though accidents from oncoming traffic can of course do some serious damage. Thus I always use helmet when riding my ATV on the road (though technically it is not required by law, but safety first).
What is the difference in the turning radius between stock and the Super ATV arms?
I never measured it, probably only a couple feet...not much less.
Why do Polaris use cheap plastic bushings & replace them with better quality after they are worn out in a year?
I don't know. Cost, but sometimes i wonder if they assign rookie engineers to certain parts of the machine. Then there's the sale of replacement parties and money earned in the secondary market. I believe the bushings on the SXS's are better than the ATV's. They are improving the bushings on the new Sportsman atv and tell you in the atv intro. Strange they advertise extreme duty bearings that can be purchased on their site, my service department asked why do customers have to pay extra for these bearings, they answered it's only for those customers who ride their machines in dirt and mud...UGH! Polaris builds a good machine and they are getting better. Now i just feel more comfortable with Can Am. This is some sort of answer.
Do you have rear wheel spacers on the can am for the aftermarket wheels?
No rears, the front I had to install Super ATV 2" forward offset A arms. On the limited the 32" were frequently rubbing the fire wall, not so much on the xmr Defender. I need to upload a video on this. My tires were a true 32", installing 30" tires maybe the correct choice. I hope this helps. Stay safe
The controller for the heating and air-conditioning was confusing OK
Yes it is, i wish the fan was variable speed rather than min, med, Max. Gator as Polaris are simple car configuration. Stay safe
