Re: Narrow front axles

Polaries ranger?? there fast 4wd and have good turning circles I looked up the Polaris site and their 800 6x6 is rated for 900kg which is pretty crazy. Width is just over 1500 and I guess it will turn about as tight as a quadbike. It would be workable but it's bloody expensive. There's a second ...
