TILLING THE LAND IN STYLE - POLARIS SPORTSMAN 570 TRACTOR REVIEW
Motown India|August 2020
All Terrain Vehicles (ATV) champions Polaris India launched the Sportsman 570 tractor a few months back. Yes, you read it right, it is a tractor and not an ATV, though it has all the distinct looks of the latter. We drove it to find out what this little tractor offers for those interested in tilling their land. This tractor is unconventional; more like an ATV and is Polaris India’s first road legal vehicle in India.
