Our verdict
Spartan SRT-XD 61
The SRT-XD is the top of Spartan's range, and it is built to be lived on. The biggest Vanguard EFI engines give it up to 40 horsepower, Parker transaxles go a thousand hours between oil changes, and Spartan's Smart Ride system layers suspension into the seat and frame so long days hurt less. The frame uses the same fusion-bonded steel as the company's UTVs. It costs flagship money, the dealer network is thin, and 13 mph is more than any normal property needs. For a contractor or a serious acreage owner who values comfort and power over badge prestige, it is a lot of machine for the money.
