MD570

Haven't posted in awhile. Got out today to scout some more for deer season on quads. Area is in southern AZ, about 15 miles from US / Mexico border. Prime Coues Whitetail area. Monsoon rains have greened up the deserts around here, usually dry arroyo's have water running in them, cattle tanks full of water. Overcast day with good breeze blowing, cool for this time of year. It was a good trip to enjoy some nice weather.

Been awhile since I posted, finally retired and now have more time to enjoy ATV. Using Rotella T6 with Wix 51358 XP filters for engine; Valvoline full synthetic 5w-20 in trans, 2017 Sportsman 570. ATV runs in AZ in high 100's in summer and never had any issues and machine actually runs quieter than with the original Polaris oils.

Beautiful country and buck!

I use an Etrex Vista HCX, loaded with ONX hunt map chip. Also have the ONX app loaded on cell phone, get the best of both worlds for hunting and just general riding.

Good advice i nix377 if you new to ATV's. That was my case last year, never owned an ATV, researched a lot and eventually settled on Sportsman 570.

Welcome -

Check out the top link, Peoria AZ, bottom link for state - it gives some great locations for rides and should hopefully give you a start. https://www.riderplanet-usa.com/atv/trails/info/arizona_06482/ride_9984.htm http://www.riderplanet-usa.com/

Age - got to the age where I needed something for hunting coues whitetail deer in some rough country in southwest AZ. Getting to them is difficult. Spent 25 - 30 years walking; glassing and stalking them and body just wants to do it a little easier. Used to ride bikes in my early youth, love all things mechanical - worked on heavy equipment for 42 years, so ATV's are a nice break to work on; ride and just enjoy in the outdoors!

Great topic and information, for everyone who rides. I was new to ATV riding last year. The dealer I purchased from included a free entry for The ATV Safety institute safety course. I'm a senior so, crashes are something I cannot afford, I jumped on that free course. New riders do need to take precautions, there are too many ways to end up with a serious injury or death if you are not careful on ATV's.

Thought I would add some more to this post of areas to ride, since this post has not be active in awhile. These are from Southern Arizona - area is the Santa Rite Mountains. Pic of mine and my brother in laws machines at a spot called Alisio springs - Rain came down in buckets that day and it was great! Elevation is approx 5000 FT.

Welcome Madhunter, I'm new to this forum as well. You always need a good project to keep busy with! You can never have enough fun working on an ATV.

Thanks - will have to get used to posting, always something new to learn!

Thought I'd sign up. Enjoy riding and reading about different experiences from everyone.
