Thanks bud and you’re right. Prolly a brief flash of oil at first real breakin load on the rings.

Thanks TOK23AF! It only smoked that one time. My neighbor has a 2018 Polaris Ranger and he couldn’t take his eyes off the Defender. My brother in law has connections at the local Polaris dealer and could have had any model and options for 30-40% discount. I have a hard time buying discounted crap. Neighbor’s Ranger isn’t 1 year old and had the front diff and rear diff seals replaced, he’s disabled and his machine never leaves the blacktop. So it was broke upon delivery from the dealer. Then the time to get it fixed.

Hello all, John here on ranch in Oregon. Just brought home my new Defender and love it. Already put it to work...or should I say “play”?Look forward to adding accessories, gaining knowledge and making friends here.

Thank you for your input Stapleton! I brought the 2019 DSP/HD10 home last night. After warming up my wife got in and we did a short half throttle blast up the drive way which was followed by a cloud of blue oil smoke. It went away so I’m thinking break in oil I’m not sure if this is normal for a new, right out of the box HD10? Any thoughts?

Hello to all! I’m shopping for my first sxs. My research keeps bringing me back to Can Am. The Yamahas are the others I might consider. We’re on a ranch in Pine Hollow, Oregon, my wife will also be driving it. I’ve been a certified mechanic since 75 and know something of engineering. Can Am’s always seem to be a step ahead. So tell me what you think of my assessment and choice of machines for snow removal, moving manure, cutting fields and general ranch work. Thanks ahead, John
