I like the functionality of that quad and I agree it would work great on the ranch... However I've rolled mine probably 8 or so times and I dont thionk all that plastic would fair all that well Oh and when I rolled mine flip it back over start it up and move on.... Haven't been able to permanently kill it yet!!

I''ve got a 04 400 Polaris. I bought it used a couple of weeks ago (150 miles), and haven't gotten it wrapped yet. I have the wrap on order, and will post before and after pics as soon as I get the stuff. It's already got racks front nd back, and I will add storage bags in a couple of days.

This 4wheeler has had one of the hardest lives of any I've owned and it's still ticking. Been sunk numerous times, flipped a few (broken pelvis on one), fell off a trailer, etc...Gotta be a Honda thing..

Yea me and my dad are thinking about getting another quad, but a 4X4. I dont take mine through much mud, cause i use mine more for hill shooting, etc. Honda makes very good Utility quads, never been much of a fan of their sport quads but once in awhile its always good to go muddin

Sorry to hijack the thread, Dinner ... looks like a fun toy you have there !!!

PISTOL
A Honda Rancher or Foreman would be a good choice. You can get it with a petal shift manual, pushbutton manual, or automatic. The manual is a solid transmission, and the automatic is a real transmission (hydrostatic), not a belt drive like every other brand. The manual is considerably less expensive, and still easy to use, whether a petal or ESP. Honda ATVs have been the most reliable outfit since ATVs were invented, so yopu can feel pretty secure in buying one.

On to me. I do not own a 4-wheeler, but my dad has a Kawi Bayou. Its a pretty good outfit, and I may get a picture of it up here sometime today.
