Best SxS for mud

For the price if used is okay..Straight up UTV just for use in mud I’d get another Yammy Viking if they make them still. Not real comfortable on the road or lease or se, it’s loud too. I had a 14’ and that thing would tear up the flooded rice fields when I used it for goose hunting. It ran circles around the Rangers and four wheelers with long hauls out to the fields with people and gear. Plenty of clearance/aggressive off the showroom floor from the factory.
It’s just the 3 person (front seat) but gear and/or people could ride in the bed. I sold it to my elderly neighbor a few years ago and all he’s used it for was to pull around his manure spreader for his horses. He’s selling it in the next couple of weeks since he’s selling his house and moving off to Florida, wife passed away last month. He doesn’t have a price but I know what I sold it to him for and the shape it’s in if you want me to ask him. It’s wrapped in Lone Star beer camo, same camo they use every year during dove season on cases of beer. Told my wife a couple weeks back I’d buy it back just to have it for back up at the lease because it was a solid machine but just ordered a CanAm from Justin last week so can’t have both.

I’m not saying the Viking is the ride for his needs- numerous options that will all pretty much work, but will add that I’m extremely happy with mine on 27’s.
The low gear in the Viking is more like a medium and will take it to a higher speed than the low in my Ranger would. You can drive around all day jn low at the lease without feeling like you’re winding it out. I only use high for the longer stretches.
A rear 2” lift was a must due to the squishy shocks they come with.
They do sell a 6 seater, but they always looked long and low to me.
As far as the mule pro- they are limited slip in the front, no locker. Not a problem for normal use, might become a thing in what you are describing.

Our club is mostly flooded ponds with some flooded ag fields. We have marsh area but that is no mans land bottomless pit.

I just got out of a FXT Pro a couple of years ago, bought it after I sold the Yammy and my goose huntin days behind me. The most comfortable ride out there easily but not near the torque to run through that kind of mud. At least mine couldn’t.

I swapped to a defender from Polaris and it was a great decision.
We have a corporate deal with an outfitter that runs multiple groups every day of season and they swapped from Polaris to Can am as well and said they can’t break the things and they were always having buggies down with the rangers.
