by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — Christmas is a season of giving. But it’s also a season of getting that tax deduction. This Christmas give either yourself or your loved one the joy of owning a Polaris UTV Ranger or RZR.  Many people don’t realize that many Polaris models qualify as farm equipment and can be included on your schedule F.  Something to think about as 2013 comes to a close!

In 2013, Countryside Motors — at 701 E. 16th Street — added Polaris Motorsports to their assortment of vehicles.  You’ve probably noticed many of them parked out in front of Countryside when you drive by.

Polaris, an American company, is one of the top selling brands of UTVs and ATVs in the industry – the lineup includes 12 Ranger Models, 9 RZR models, 12 Sportsman models and even 5 youth ATV models, which are specifically designed and developed for younger riders.  Polaris products come in various sizes and colors: full-size, mid-size and multi-passenger.  Each model of Ranger, RZR or Sportsman is designed for different uses; from working on the farm or ranch, heading out to your favorite hunting or fishing spot, tearing up the dunes or even just riding around and enjoying the great outdoors.  See video review here:

Once you pick out the model that’s right for you, there is a catalog of accessories you can go through to make sure your UTV or ATV is equipped to fit your specific needs.  From windshields, to winches, to light bars, to sound systems and even GPS navigation, you can make your Polaris as unique as you are.

With all of these choices you’ll be happy to find that you can stop by Countryside and see a full line-up of the Polaris vehicles, as well as, the accessories.   They have models equipped with the most popular accessories already assembled, so you can see what they look like installed!

And with that Polaris UTV and ATV you get…

Not only are there Polaris Rangers, RZRs and Sportsmen that could wait under the Christmas tree, Countryside also carries a full line of Pure Polaris Sportswear, Helmets, Goggles and outerwear to make your riding experience perfect.   Most people don’t expect Countryside to sell clothes but you might be surprised at what you’ll find inside the Polaris showroom, which is just east of the main building.  Inside the Polaris showroom you may expect to see the newest Polaris products, but there are display cases full of Polaris T-Shirts, jerseys, caps, gloves and everything else that makes your riding experience fun!  There were also parts and accessories that you could actually touch and feel.  Catalogs are great, but sometimes you want to see and touch what you are buying.  There were some great gift ideas if you come visit the store.

Quite simply, the Polaris Products are cool – not to mention very versatile – so many different gift ideas.  There were some little ATVs: for a young up and coming rider,  a fully tricked out RZR1000 for someone who likes to tear-it-up at the dunes, as well as, the perfect work vehicle for the farmer entrepreneurs doing his/her chores, and even a special Browning Edition Ranger for the hunter out in the rough Sumner County terrain.  Countryside and Polaris are the place for truly OUT-OF-THE-BOX gift ideas!

Polaris is just one of the many products you can find at Countryside Motors.  Countryside has been here since 1996 providing Chevrolet, Buick and General Motors Sales and Service to the area. They also have Hustler-Turf Products.  Hustler Turf is built right here in Kansas and is undoubtedly the best mowing and most durable zero turn radius mowers available.

Countryside isn’t just about selling either.  They have service departments for all the products they carry.  The good news is they can service virtually any car or truck you may own.  So if you don’t drive a Chevy or Buick yet, Countryside can still service most brands.  Just call them and ask for the service department and they can answer your questions and schedule an appointment.

Shopping local:

The great thing about Countryside Motors, is it is a local Wellington run company. Countryside has been in Sumner County since 1996 and has been an integral fabric of the local community.

Rarely does a community the size of Wellington see such an assortment of products and services available right at home.
