The introduction of the RANGER Diesel HST and
HST Deluxe further exhibits Polaris’ commitment
to offer the most complete line of utility vehicles
to satisfy the needs of the work customer. The
new RANGER vehicles offer key features that
are important to the agricultural and rural
lifestyle customer such as diesel power with
a hydrostatic transmission, an industry-exclusive
treadle pedal, multi-link coil over De Dion
rear suspension and, for the first time on a
RANGER vehicle, full climate control which is
standard on the RANGER Diesel HST Deluxe.
At the heart of the new models is a 24-horsepower
YANMAR® diesel engine with a hydrostatic
transmission which delivers incredible torque
and power to get the job done. The transmission
also features an engine braking system delivering
a smooth and even deceleration while carrying
a load for increased operator confidence.
For comfortable traversing of virtually any
terrain, loaded or unloaded, the RANGER Diesel
HST and RANGER Diesel HST Deluxe also feature
Polaris’ exclusive On-Demand True All-Wheel
Drive which automatically engages all four
wheels when more forward traction is needed
and reverts back to two-wheel drive when the
traction is no longer needed.

Pedal to easily going forward or backward |
Unlike anything else in their category, the
RANGER Diesel HST and RANGER Diesel HST Deluxe
offer an innovative treadle pedal allowing
for travel in forward or reverse without shifting
gears or taking hands off the wheel. This
enables the operator to tackle the toughest
jobs in less time with lower fatigue. To work
harder and longer, the vehicles are equipped
with a 90 amp alternator that provide best-in-class
power for cold-weather starting, and give
the operator the ability to power several
accessories at a time for increased efficiency
and effectiveness.
The multi-link coil over De Dion rear suspension
provides the RANGER Diesel HST and RANGER
Diesel HST Deluxe with superior ride quality
for any work application. The rear suspension
supports a 1,250 pound cargo capacity and
minimizes suspension sag when fully loaded.
It also maintains class-leading ground clearance
when trailering with its best-in-class 2,000
pound towing capacity. An extended length,
pallet-sized rear dump box, with gas-assist
lift on RANGER Diesel HST and electric lift
on the RANGER Diesel HST Deluxe, provide ample
space for hauling, and feature Polaris’
exclusive Lock & Ride® cargo system
for easy installation and removal of accessories.

For operator comfort, the RANGER Diesel HST
and RANGER Diesel HST Deluxe come standard
with Hydraulic Power Steering to minimize
driver fatigue. Cab ergonomics such as tilt
steering with the 10-inches of motion, extra
legroom, foot rests, larger seat width, and
easy cab ingress and egress deliver optimal
operator and passenger comfort. For even more
comfort no matter what the outside conditions,
the RANGER Diesel HST Deluxe also has a fully-enclosed,
factory-installed cab with climate control
including heat, defrost and air conditioning,
and features 180-degree opening doors for
easy entry and exit. A full line of cab, storage
and vehicle protection accessories also are
available for the vehicles to meet each customer’s
unique needs.
The RANGER Diesel HST and RANGER Diesel HST
Deluxe will be offered in Sage Green and are
available at Polaris dealerships in April.
