Re: Quads / ATV's and all that fun stuff
I know times are hitting people a little hard - but quadding (as with sledding in the winter months) is still a huge sport. To that end its the time of year when a lot of people are planning on the seasons fun purchase.
I know the 800's are the daddy of the quad family but is there really any reason to go with something that big.
If anyone out there has a quad, what size engine did you go for and does it do the job you want it to - be it either work around the acreage or weekends away yahooing around the countryside.
The reason I ask is that i'm looking into getting one and for a first am thinking a 400 will suffice for pretty much everything, aside from the fact you can put a shovel on the front and clear the drive in the winter

if you buy one will you paint it and put it on your Web page

I had a go on a Polaris Ranger 700. Very nice motor that seats 3.
If i could afford one and could justify enough use for it, I'd definitely consider buying one.
