Thanks, Ulf. Interesting comparison of the configurations of the rear. US version has the cradle for the boom cylinders, and the cylinders have safety stripes, for when they hang over the back.
White uppers, for camouflage in the snow, with gray lowers for hiding all of the springtime road grime. Very appropriate!

I can just imagine a snow machine roaring across the "tundra" a few feet above road surface and plowing into the boom of that baby...

My $2 perfecta in that contest would be the Liebherr for the win, and the Polaris to show. Maybe a win for the Liebherr and the Polaris is a ....DNF..or DOA. We have transmission structures built on H-Pile and sometimes to mitigate frost heaves the utility will tie the H-Pile horizontally together with 25M guy wire. One must be careful to position the wire at a sufficiently low point so the random Polaris doesn't get clothes-lined. They like to run in-between the tower legs even though they are on permitted property. Got to be alert in the Great Outdoors...

That has to do with emission standards.Higher emission standard requires higher temperature in the exhaust.Therefore the exhaust system is longer.
