Almost got a P500 a couple of years back but went with a Rubicon and loved that machine! But the time was right to change up to a SXS so I sold the Rubicon this afternoon at 1:00pm and at 5:30pm I pulled the trigger on a 700-2 . I will try to attach a pic as soon as I figure out the intricacies of the forum....ok...there.

Now. Let the accessorizing begin!

Found out one thing real fast; these things are freaking heavy! And don't turn around in the front yard! That inside rear tire will tear some stuff up. Luckily I saw the probable outcome while I was in the pasture.
Yes.
You will be wanting a winch, ASAP.

Maybe. I am pretty easy on my machines and try to not get into anything holes that I don't think I can climb out of. I will mostly be riding/working on the farm and getting stuck means that I have torn up some land on the property. I didn't need a winch on the Rubicon, so I hope I don't find myself in need of a winch....but there may be a want for one because there can sometimes be a need other than wheeling.

I didn't "need" a winch on my ATVs either. I could always manhandle them out of whatever since I'm not a mudder. First time I got it high centered I realized that 1400+lbs of machine can't be manipulated by one person.
Buy a winch. Trust me.
A cheap 4500-5000 lb will do.

Yeah. I am not a mudder either, even though it is really popular here in the south. I live in the Blue Ridge here in Georgia, and our trails are mostly rocky and hilly terrain, so getting high centered would be my main concern.
Define a "cheap" winch. I am thinking a good quality2500lb Warn would do the trick ( I had one on a 500 Arctic Cat a few years ago and it was solid)
