Message: <blockquote data-quote="NDbowman" data-source="post: 157088" data-attributes="member: 1525">I've got a 2014 Polaris ranger 900xp with hard cab, heater, and Polaris tracks. Just changed the belt today at 12k miles. Burned it a little in deep snow a couple of times and figured I'd better change it before it left me sit. I think Polaris has one of the better cab systems but it does get a little drafty when its -20 and you run full speed down the road into the wind, but still warm enough to stay comfortable. They do sell foam winter kits to plug all the draft holes but I don't feel its that big of an issue. Curtis makes cabs for just about any brand, I just don't like the little slider side windows vs the electric ones on the Polaris that roll down all the way. My other complaint with the Polaris is there all wheel drive crap. The front wheels only pull if the back ones spin. That's not a problem when your tracked but on wheels it kinda sucks. Would rather they had a normal 4x4 with diff lock. Hole hopping out of a ranger looking for fish is pretty sweet this year. Drive where ever you want, jump out, punch a hole, drop the flasher, fish for a minute or two, and off to the next spot if no takers.I'd thought about getting a jeep and putting tracks on as I felt it would be more durable and maybe a more comfortable cab. What kept me from doing it other than money, was that I was worried about the heavier jeep falling through deep drifts and getting hung up as I've seen a dodge Dakota with tracks get stuck in a road ditch of snow. Also Jeeps and Suvs with tracks are quite tall. It looks like quite a hop to get in and out. That doesn't look like a lot of fun if your moving around looking for fish a lot. Even a Ranger with tracks is high enough its a little hop to get in but not bad. Its when you get out in deep snow and sink to your ass that getting back in can be a challenge.</blockquote>
