New 2009 Ranger or Used 2005

Hi,

Another new member here.

Looking to buy either a used 2005 Ranger 700 or 500 or new 2009 Ranger 500. Dealer has all 3 on lot.

We want to purchase to put a track kit on it and hitch up a drag to groom winter trials for dog sledding on 100 acres.

Any thoughts on power options between the older 2005 or the new 2009 500. Would the 2009 500 have enough power, would the 2005? Is there much difference between the 05 "700" and the 09 "500"...thinking things have improved from 05 to 09 in the power department?

Also are there any known issues with the 05's...i.e. would I be buying a lemon?

I don't have any experience with that new of a machine, but I do have experience with track machines and some snow grooming. Whatever you get I would get it with the biggest engine available. It will take extra power to drive the tracks and to pull whatever grooming attachment you will be pulling. A blade for the front might be a plus also.

Biggest motor and price difference would be a desiding factor for me.
