I'm selling my ATV to buy a new UTV this month. My issue is I need to be able to haul 6-10 bags of feed to my hunting locations and carry work items around a small farm 400 acres in size. Im needing a UTV for 50% hunting and 50% just traveling around the farm working. I am buying a product that is sold/serviced by a local dealer so that leaves me with Polaris,John deer, and Kawasaki product lines. I have been looking at the local show rooms/lots and like the looks and pricing of the Polaris product line and that dealer in town seems to be the best services record  from word of mouth locals atv/utv owners. I have a couple models I'm eyeing the 500 and 800 EFI mid size,EV, and XP 800. The XP 800 maybe a no go as I'm alittle worried that it's larger size may not work as well on some of my ATV trails through the woods but the XP looks heavier built to me vs the mid size 500/800 EFI models. The two models I'm really leaning towards are the 500 EFI and EV.
I have drove a 2012 EV a few hours my buddy has I love the way it rides and it is QUIET which would be great for hunting. The battery life should be a non issue for traveling around a small farm where 5 miles of driving would be a lot as most of my trips are less then a 1 miles and back home. That said electric power I just don't know long term will everything hold up as well as a gas unit (AC motor,batteries)? I think the EV may totally fit my needs  for short runs and quiet service better than gas powered machines. On the 500/800EFI are they really loud machines? Having a small area to hunt mainly 200 areas of my farm being stealthy is pretty important coming and going. One dealer said a stealth type muffler helps to reduce noise on the gas UTV's also. Thanks for any feedback.
