Comment:  This vehicle is a continuation of Polaris’ strong push In the last several years into the commercial, government and military utility vehicle segment. With a sales process and longer selling cycle than what their typical dealers are accustomed to, management has not been satisfied with their rate of progress in the commercial and government segments. To that end they have developed partnerships with companies and brands with a strong presence and marketing experience in the commercial markets such as Bobcat, Ariens and now Mobile Hydraulic Equipment Company.
