What did you ride before you had a SXS?

For us we had one 2001 Kawasaki 300 2wd atv. Still have the old girl, but it was only used at that time for fencing work, spraying weeds, and some running back and forth. We still had horses for all the livestock moving, and pickups to handle everything else. The rangers came into our lives and our operation changed forever!

So what about you guys? What hobby or ride did your SxS replace?
