Default How its made

Well I think we catch these shows from time to time. I got an email on
how ATV's are made. Looks like a Polaris Hawkeye or newer 300 style Sportsman.

What do you think?

Sportsman 400HO... the liquid cooled engine and word "Sportsman" on the tank cowl says it all. Pretty neat clip.

They made a error when saying 300 cc engine.........Polaris 300cc engine was air-cooled.........Did not show the welding .......Robot or workers?

A couple of those workers looked a bit hung over and did not want to be there. LOL

If it was the Polaris plant in Roseau MN, they would be hung-over. And all the welding there is by robot.

One thing for sure is how easy you can get to everything when its suspended in the AIR on that factory hang conveyor system.
