Don't have pics right now but daily driver is an 07 Silverado 1500 with dual exhaust, flowmaster, k&n. Weekend fun is a Honda Rincon 650 ATV. I love that thing. It's great for work around the farm as well as having fun on some trails. I'm hoping to get another ATV sometime so my wife can ride with me more.

Was thinking more ATV's than pickup trucks. But, my tow vehicle is a brand new (not) 1996 F-350 diesel. It is low mileage 237,000+ and runs strong...

Since I have to straddle a seat and use handlebars I'm not sure driving is the correct term so much as riding. Mine's a 2005 Yamaha Bruin 350 4x2 with Warn winch.

My tow vehicle is a 2008 Toyota Sequoia.

Like Graybeard, I feel it's riding instead of driving if I'm sitting astraddle of it. I'm still riding my 2000 Polaris Expedition.

I tow with an '03 Chevy 2500HD Duramax.

I've seen them around here and I saw a bunch in NH for sale. There was white, red and I think dk green all with "For Sale" signs on them. I can certainly see thier usefulness on a farm/ranch but I wouldn't want to be on the paved roads in traffic with one. Kinda the Smart car as a truck. Notmy idea of what I'm wanting to be buried in after the accident.

Lloyd Smale · « **Reply #12 on:** November 03, 2008, 01:11:59 AM »

As far as a vehicle good in traffic it cant be much worse then my wrangler. I about get run over going up any kind of grade. Even by semis! It is about guttless. Plenty of power and fun to drive off the road but it can be nerve wracking sometimes on the highway. Top end is about 65 and you better be paitent to get there and be on flat ground!

Bugflipper · « **Reply #13 on:** November 03, 2008, 02:48:53 AM »

Sorry I really didn't research these before I bought it. I know they make a 2 3 and 4 cyl. I was told if you want to put 28" tires on it to get the 4 cyl. I got mine at a place that sales tractors. All he ever has is white, I didn't know they came in other colors. Here are a few links, maybe it can get you a bit of info about them. I believe they weigh about 1500, tow 1500 and haul 1000.. I regularly haul round bales of hay. I can get 20 bags of feed on it. Seems like it was 75 hp, but not absolutely sure. It's a good little tough truck that takes a beating. BTW there are multiple options available, don't settle for anything, be choosy, the price should only be 2 or $300 difference. Mine has a 6 sp manual, low range transfer and locking axles.

I looked at the mini's but around here they want $6000 plus for them! So I found a nice used Polarus 6 wheel Ranger that has hauled 4 deer this year back to camp. Darn thing is so long, had to buy a trailer to tow it behind my 04 Silverado Duramax that I had to have to haul my 22' pontoon boat. Guess I need to plan a little better before buying stuff.

2004 Yamaha Grizzly 660 automatic. It had 234 mi. on it when I bought ti Dec. 26,08. I've added a Gorilla winch and bought a Warne Cyclone snow blade. I also bought the 12' enclosed trailer my friend kept it in and I use it like a garage. I added 20 amp. service to it so I can plug in my battery tender or anything else within reason.

markc · « **Reply #19 on:** April 07, 2009, 01:15:01 PM »

Nice pics of your ATV's guys. I ridden that Polaris 500, and the Griz 660. Enjoyed them both.

I run an Arctic Cat 650 V-2. Excellent power and very sure footed. Very comfortable to ride.

Here are our rides,
07 Kawi Brute 750 and 07 Kawi Brute 650I
Both machines are unreal for power and ride.

2zuks · « **Reply #22 on:** April 19, 2009, 04:40:45 PM »

I have two suzuki samurais that have small block chevy v8's in them. I also have a new Kawasaki Teryx that has really been fun and useful. It has made such an impression as a matter of fact that two of my friends just went and got brand new ones last night! I wouldn't have included the samurais, but before I got the Teryx, I used them for the same purpose! LOL

Oldshooter · « **Reply #23 on:** April 19, 2009, 05:12:13 PM »

I presently have a couple of Honda's, a 450 4x4, and a 250 rancher, They are just about indestructable,my sons have not been able to break them. I probably will go the "rhino" route in the future to stay out of the weather more!

My ideal atv would be 4 wheel drive, carry two adults and gear, with a small engine that would only go 10 mph (max)and be absolutly quite!

markc · « **Reply #24 on:** April 27, 2009, 01:19:59 PM »

Oldshooter, it sounds like you either need an electric cart or a Kawasaki Mule. They go a bit faster than 10 mph (25mpd) but are pretty quiet as long as you don't use the diesel model.

EZ-GO TXT Cart. Completely striped down to the frame. Posi-Traction rear end. Electric 48 volt motor with upgraded controller. Lift kit ATV low pressure tires, winch, headlights, gun rack, flip down rear seat. Quiet!!! Yeah. It will get me around to enough places in a day on one charge. Ton's of torque.
