Couple Questions Hammerhead vs Trail Master
 

Hi guys, thanks for letting me onboard.

Couple years ago I purchased a new Trail Master 150 and it was fine. Had maybe 4-8 hours on it and my wife decided it could be fun. So I purchased a RZR 570 and it was fine, but wife now decided..... she did not want to ride so both are gone now.

Fast forward to July 2017 and gee I would like to have something to ride by myself, off road. So now looking at the Hammer Head GTS 150 or another Trail Master XRS 150.

So is the Hammerhead really worth $500 more? They are both Made in China I assume and I know the Chinese can make better quality stuff if a wholesaler wants. Looking for more experienced advice?

Hammerhead is now owned by Polaris.

Yes, and I wonder how that is going to play out. Hammerhead is a (good) importer of buggies/karts and Polaris has the 170 RZR that it imports also made to their spec's. I can't see them selling Hammerhead karts at the dealers because that means warranty and then trade in's to deal with.

I did try to order a Hammerhead thru the local hardware chain in Iowa that seems to be the only dealer. Had to order online and IF I wanted it would be with the truck freight and sales tax nearly $900 more drop shipped to my door, some assy required. No ship to store for free.... no we don't do that!

TheY have made some in my opinion much needed improvements. I read they added an oil cooler etc... but removed a few niceties like turn signals I believe.
