Picked up new relic mobile

A can am defender XT model

Has loads of cab room and loads of storage.

Strong engine too.

Thats a wicked bit of detecting kit,is that allowed on the US roads or just private property ?? also are they 2 or 4 wheel drive ??

Very nice, health to enjoy!

Let us know how you like it. I will be buying a UTV soon to help out on the farm.

If equipped properly can be driven in some states on public roads.

I.e. Mirrors,,turn signals , etc.

This s thing will shame some new autos as far as inside look and quality.

Much more room in cab vs my Toyota--- very true.

Actual new release as of 2016 for can am,,some might be familiar with the more sporty Mavericks and commanders made by the same manufacturer.

Engine for a gas engine has almost as much torque as Hp,,,unusual for a gasser engine.

It is 4 wheel drive.

To get stuck,,,IMO a person would have to be trying to stick by going maybe in places they shouldn't be going in the first place,,,like farm ponds etc.

Good question.

The Poe looking thingy is actually a gun mount,,,can be removed pretty quick for middle passenger riding if needed.
Been putting the lead to a few bobcats and coyotes.

Spare the bob cats---sign of healthy woods. Coyotes blast'em.

Sweet!!!

I have so many places that I could use that at instead of hiking in

TAKE A LITTLE TIME KICKBACK AND WATCH SOME OF MY DETECTING VIDEO'S BELOW ON YouTube

Very nice!!!

Very nice!

Congrats on enhancing your mobility! My getting around has been a struggle for a long time, but I couldn't afford brand new. I picked up a very clean, low hour 2014 Kawasaki Teryx LE 2-seater RUV the end of August. Only had the opportunity to use it during deer hunting season, but it is ready-to-go if I want to trailer-it-up for a lot of trips to favorite Relic Hunting sites. My only problem is that most of those within a 6 hour drive of me are now under a blanket of wintry snow. So, until spring exposes some detecting sites, I'm just using it for thinning any coyote herds (or so it seems they are with the numbers we've seen!) or getting into a few dove hunting places.

I have solid doors on mine, but need to invest in the enclosed system since temperatures have made it downright cold this time of year. Sure is nice to be aable to get into areas where I just can't walk or hike anymore. I'm sure you're going to enjoy your new rig!

We,
I sold it to my neighbor.
Nothing wrong with it.
A little heavier than my new one,,and slower.
And no great fittings on suspension like my new one has.

Would have made Daniel a nice farm rig.

Btw,,on your unit,,a duraclutch is a nice addition,,price around $1200. Belt using duraclutch will last a loooong time.

Cheers.

Just wanted a new toy ?? LOL I hear ya..

Took me 10 years to buy mine..it ain't going nowhere..Hopefully it's a lifetime purchase..

I can make stuff last along time with proper service..I drive 30 year old vehicles...LOL..

I looked at some at a dealer yesterday. They carried Arctic Cat and Bad Boy. I really liked one of the Bad Boys. Only thing is...they are battery powered instead of gas. But they are 4x4 too. They had a 2015 model demo they wanted rid of for $8,000. The Arctic Cats were $16 to 20 thousand sticker price for the 2017s. But they were 4 seaters. I would like a 2 seater with big bed. A man could buy two 500cc 4 wheelers for what one of the UTVs cost there. Gonna go look at the Polaris and other models next week.

Daniel,
I'd stay away from the bad boy-- battery powered.
Have a bud with one,,,he don't like it.

Take a look at Polaris Ranger 570.
Good overall package for the $$$$$.
A new model released in the last few years.

I wouldn't let bed size be my whole driver.
If you do you are limiting yourself by model and $$$.

For lonnnnnng term use,,,one of the kubota 900s on a farm will do.
Engine will run forever,,has big bed,,strong as an ox,,not too pricey,,has big bed.

I have had 2 actually,,900 and 1100 model,,the one with heat and air.

For utility use-- where speed is not an issue,,and super off roading is not your interest,,,kubota will do.

Most dependable too,,no belt,,hydrostatic trans-- bullet proof.
Engine-- bullet proof.

They are on the heavy side though.

Right now,,,,my pics would be

Polais Ranger 570

John Deere 590
Another worthy pick
Do not get the Johnny Deere I beleive it is a 550 model,,,has Briggs engine,,,folks have had BIG problems with them blowing head gaskets.

Good luck.

Sure is a nice rig but had to chuckle when you said - To get stuck,,,IMO a person would have to be trying to stick by going maybe in places they shouldn't be going in the first place,,,like farm ponds etc. As a long time farmer having many different four wheel drive trucks and tractors over the years I have yet to see anything that can not get stuck. And the biigger & heavier they are the harder they are to get unstuck.
