Info on MV850

[Oxyacetylene]

I have recently acquired a Polaris MV850. It's a beast of a machine! This one is in good condition and just needs a few items to make it "complete." The factory winch is missing, which I know is a Warn 3000 or 3500lb winch. Does anyone happen to have decent pics showing the winch mounting in the front? I want to replace the winch but I need to make sure I have everything I need. I am also looking for the front roll bar thing, and a set of the military ITP beadlock wheels.

You mentioned Polaris.
Have you searched around about Polaris and Recall to make sure you don't have a problem where your steering wheel "becomes disengaged"?

EDIT: Googled this and it seems to be for 2020-2022 RZR and General models, certain ones, related to the steering wheel spokes cracking. So the MV850 should not be included in the recall.

Good Deal!
Happy to hear it.
Figured it was definitely worth mentioning.

Well that was an interesting 22 page thread to read. There were one or two I think that showed the problem at higher accumulated miles, but it seems that most of them had the issue within the first 200 hours or so. This one has a tad under 1600 miles on it. It idles and runs great so far. Fingers crossed!

I did a bit more research and plugged the VIN into the Polaris VIN Search. This one is listed as a 2014 model, manufactured in Oct of 2013. Someone else had posted indicating that they start the next year model builds in July. The issue was addressed for the 2014 model year as well from what I read. So with all of that being said I am hopeful that mine does not have the potential issue. It runs great so far with nearly 300 hrs and 1600 miles on it.
