11. HONDA PIONEER 1000-<br />
5This five-seat cruiser can fit the whole brood,<br />
and it should have no problem getting them<br />
around, either, with a 999cc engine. For<br />
additional safety, it includes debris-blocking<br />
side nets, and its traction control<br />
system uses the brakes to limit wheel<br />
spin for optimum traction (without<br />
the drawbacks of a locking diff).<br />
The comfortable cockpit is a big<br />
plus, too.<br />
13. YAMAHA WOLVERINE X2 850 R-SPEC<br />
This entry-level model has more than enough giddyap—thanks<br />
to a four-stroke 847cc engine—to<br />
clamber over rocks and debris, and its 8.7-inch<br />
front and 9.3-inch rear suspension will make<br />
doing so comfortable. The model measures<br />
62.2 inches wide and has an 83.7-inch<br />
wheelbase, so it’s compact enough to get<br />
deep into the woods.<br />

14. KAWASAKI MULE PRO-FXT RANCH EDITION<br />
This two-row, do-it-all workhorse<br />
has a 999-pound-capacity cargo<br />
bed and can tow up to a ton with<br />
its 8<strong>12</strong>cc engine. It also has 10 inches<br />
of ground clearance, 26-inch<br />
tires, and 8.7 inches of suspension<br />
travel, and you can option it to<br />
seat up to six people, making<br />
it perfect for either ranch<br />
work or hauling folks<br />
around.<br />
[Starting at $20,299;<br />

Designed with hunters in mind, this camouflaged, 64-inch-wide beast can haul up to 2,500<br />
pounds—so it’ll have no problem with that Booner whitetail you’re going to tag this season. You<br />
can also option it with Kolpin gun cases, a winch, a full skid plate, and a portable LED spotlight,<br />
all of which will prove useful in the field, and its Rotax V-twin 976cc, 82-horsepower engine will<br />
make for easy uphill climbs.<br />
