Cant go wrong with either one. Both make very reliable machines.

I have a kodiak . Great machine .

‘with aftermarket tires it would crawl over my house .

‘well balanced for going up and down steep ravines

As some one said you can’t wrong with either machine.

Both are great machines but I lean toward the Yamaha. I have a 2002 Kodiak 400 with 28” tires that climbs trees. I work this thing hard and it spends most of its time out in the weather. It still starts right up and is unstoppable.

Hammer--what aftermarket tires are you running?  I bought a 2011 Polaris last year and it works great, the only issue is when snow plowing, going up my steep asphalt driveway the tires sometimes spin a lot and this is in 4WD.  Thanks.

Can't go wrong with either one. They are both solid and with a little care will last a very long time

Is the 450 big enough?

I have rip saws on one , bear claws on the other .

I think for plowing the rip saws would probably be the better of the 2
