RIGHT TOOL. RIGHT PRICE.

With work-ready features like a dump box, factory-installed winch and more, RANGER 500 is the smart choice for those looking to take on to-dos without breaking the bank.

Features may include:

MAKES WORK EASIER
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Extra Pulling Power

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

EASY TO USE
  • CONVENIENTLY SIZED

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

  • EASY ON THE LAWN

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

  • 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.
