Ranger to the rescue

In the heart of Northern NSW, at Casino, farmer David Moore recalls the recent floods that covered his land and how he frantically prepared the farm as waters rose.

With a 20-foot twin-engine boat he ventured into the water, saving animals and transporting workers to the other side of the farm.

But it was the farm’s Polaris Ranger, used for mustering cattle onto the hills, that proved indispensable in the face of rising waters.

 

“Bulletproof, they were with the water," Mr Moore said.

Even with water running through the floorboards, the Polaris Ranger emerged unscathed.

Mr Moore’s family has been farming for more than 40 years and they now operate a mixed farm encompassing beef cattle and organic cultivation of wheat and soybeans.

Likewise, farmer and fencer Glenn Moffat, from southeast Queensland, who has been using Polaris off-road vehicles for 12 years says Polaris is more than a mode of transportation; it's a symbol of reliability, efficiency, and accomplishment.

 

Glenn's fencing projects often take him across challenging terrains, from hills to muddy areas and his Polaris Ranger has been his steadfast companion through it all, responding to every demand.

As Glenn puts it, "You just get in them and it goes, kick it in the guts and it goes. Driving up hill and it goes; through the mud it goes; and yeah, it hasn't missed a beat."

What sets Glenn's experience apart is not just the durability of the Polaris Ranger but the profound impact it has on his daily operations.

The ability to effortlessly navigate diverse landscapes has not only increased Glenn's productivity but also added a layer of joy to his work.

In the first 12 months Glenn had his Polaris, he was able to build 1200km of fence lines.

The RANGER SP 530 is the optimal 2-person utility side-by-side entry platform. When there’s work to be done, it makes hauling and towing fast and easy. This workhorse is equipped with features you need to get the job done, and maximum comfort you desire for successful days around your property.

The standard 50mm hitch receiver can tow up to 680kg with a 226kg dump box, so you can efficiently transport more tools or supplies. A new single-handle tailgate allows for quick and easy access to dump mulch, logs and other cargo from the box.
