CAPABILITY

Save time and energy on property tasks thanks to the dump box, towing capability and standard winch on RANGER 500.

Easy on the Lawn

Selectable Turf Mode unlocks the rear differential—enabling easier and tighter turns that won't tear up the grass.

Conveniently Sized

Easily store and navigate small spaces with a narrow 58.5” width.

Room For The Essentials

Grab what you need, when you need it. Convenient interior storage makes it easy to bring and access essentials—such as your phone, beverages and small tools.

Outworks a Wheelbarrow

Make fewer trips with the gas-assist dump box. It can haul up to 500 lbs.—approximately 15 bags of dry mulch.

Manage Larger Loads

A 1,500-lb. towing capacity with a standard 2" hitch receiver easily handles heavy loads—enabling you to efficiently transport heavy landscaping materials or large brush.

Extra Pulling Power

Clear fallen trees and remove stumps with the pulling power of a factory-installed 2,500-lb. winch.
