These machines are pretty stout. I've taken it up to northern Maine twice and it performed great although ride was rough, adjusting tire pressure and suspension preload helped with ride quality. My 1000 needed a parking brake adjustment and shift lever adjustment the minute I took it off the trailer after bring it home. After putting 29s and a full skid package on mine I'm pretty happy with it. The only other thing I'll do once its out of warranty is clutching. I bought it with full cab and plow, saved 8-10K on similarly equipped polaris or can-am.
