Why are side-by-sides so useful for farmers?
Typically when you hear farmers and machinery/vehicles in a sentence, you think of tractors and combine harvesters, but here in the UK and across the world, many also rely on a side-by-side (SXS/UTV), because of how quick and easy they are to hop in and out of when getting around the farm, but also their impressive payload and towing capacities and ability to overcome rough and muddy off-road terrain.
Mid-size RANGER 570: Small and agile at only 144.5cm wide, perfect for navigating tight fields and easy storage in barns and sheds. Whilst it may look small, it certainly packs a punch with a 386cm turning radius offering the best-in-class manoeuvrability and capability. The RANGER 570 will certainly help you get the job done quicker.
Ranger Diesel: Designed with farmers in mind, this machine is the ultimate workhorse. Known for its durability and payload/towing capabilities, many farmers choose this vehicle as they prefer the lower-cost aspect of running a diesel vehicle.
In fact, when the RANGER Diesel was in development, the engineers and factory teams worked closely alongside UK farmers to test the pre-production capabilities in real-life scenarios; ensuring customer feedback was built into its design.
Ranger 1000 (petrol): Engineered to be the ultimate workhorse capable of getting the toughest jobs done, the Ranger 1000 has a purpose-built single overhead cam engine which delivers smooth, outstanding low-speed performance whilst towing and take full advantage of the class-leading towing capacity and box capacity so you can tackle whatever the day may bring.
Ranger XP 1000 (petrol): Tackle the longest days with the RANGER XP 1000 which has been engineered for brute strength thanks to its three-position engine switch. Choose from work mode, where the throttle becomes smoother than in standard to allow for more precision; performance mode, which offers a more aggressive feel to the power of the vehicle; and standard mode, perfect for everyday driving.
Ranger XP Kinetic (electric): The all-new, all-electric RANGER XP Kinetic offers industry-leading horsepower and torque which is delivered instantaneously for precise control. Not only that, the Kinetic’s new shifter design includes high, low, neutral and park and also features a new, integrated switch for forward and reverse so you can change directions with the flip of a switch, making tasks like ploughing fast and efficient.

Here in the UK, farming influencer Olly’s Farm has recently taken on the Polaris RANGER and he is loving it for the daily checking of his 120 Friesian cross suckler heard and flock of 100 Shropshire ewes on the Norfolk Broads National Park, which he says has never been easier.
