Polaris general

[tmo1620]

Just bought a 2018 polaris general, just wondering who has them, what do they think, anything I should know? Checked on the general forum a bit but its all americans so looking for opinions from more of a local crowd.

Father in law has one. Really great machine with the best of RZR and Ranger. No real issues so far. Windshield and heater were great additions.

Should mention its a 2018 so pre updated turf mode. Heard there is some issues with it taking out the transmission, reverse chain issues as well. Anybody had or heard of anybody having this issue? Sounds like it comes from more of the heavy mudding crowd which im not into anyway

His is same year. No driveline issues. Not heavily mudded but not babied either.

Had a 2018 that was heavily modified for mudding. No issues with transmission or reverse chain. I did end up upgrading the chain because I put a gear reduction in. But even on my old RZR I had zero reverse chain issues. It was a great machine, loved the interior. Zero issues out of it that weren't caused by mudding with big tires. I believe there was a recall or 2 on them so you may want to check that they are done. They weren't major things.

I found a very lightly used one in Grenfeld Saskatchewan, about a 1100km drive from me lol. 2018 ride command with about $5000 in extras, and 607km on it. Gotta great deal cause I payed cash. The guys wife agreed to my offer as long as it was cash money Was tough finding any decent used ones, especially with everything basically done to it already that I would do.
