Being from WV a lot of people think I have, unfortunately I have not. There are endless places to ride without paying the fees and dealing with regulations that the trails have. That being said I'd still love to go sometime down the road. I can tell you that I've heard only good things. Not to mention the country around the trails is beautiful.

That's the only down side to a RZR. Bed space. Teryx, Commander, Rhino, Ranger, Big Red all have way more bed space. The trade off is how much better the RZR rides, drives, and accelerates. Can- Am Commanders are close though. I can't deny they are beautiful rides.

Grandpas big red is possibly the most underpowered utv I've ever ridden. And the brakes are already crap

Yeah the Mule and Big Red are more of a utility/farm use deal. I drove a mule doing landscape work in Dallas. It was a diesel and flat out gutless.

They make a diesel one? Interesting. We won ours from a farm magazine so we're not really complaining haha. Just a bit gutless and low ground clearance.

The big reds have improved greatly over the last like 3 years. Each one is more farm friendly
