💪 Still going strong after all these years.

The Polaris Sportsman ATV was built to last and workers across the UK have put that to the test for 40 years. From muddy fields to heavy towing, it’s proven to be one of the toughest machines in agriculture. 🌾

As we celebrate the 40th anniversary, we want to see YOUR machine. Do you own one of the oldest working Sportsman ATVs still in use today?

📸 Post your photos, tell us the year – and show us why the Sportsman has earned its legendary reputation.
