Best 4 Wheeler

[C-Money]

Honda has some great motors out with fuel injection these days. I bought the Rancher with the 420 cc EFI and it has been plenty quad for me. I am 6'3'' and 280lbs and it takes me all over the place, never feeling under powered. I went with the 420 cause I can put on 100+ miles/full day in the mountains and not run out of gas! I am sure you will want something bigger than a 420 with the tracks, but I know Honda makes good products in the big quads as well. Keep us posted on what you get!

Not exactly for sure which is best with trax. but.....We used arctic cats at work and a grizzly , good machines, artic cat seemed a little sportier but the grizzly was a work horse.  My cousin owns a polaris 800? but it seems clunky and is not even close to being one of my favorites.  My buddys own the nice hondas a 500 and 600 I believe, and to me these are the most comfortable, stable, smooth easy going machines, a real pleasure if your not out tearing it up.  My dad has the Suzuki King Quad, and its very nice, no issues for several years, smooth to ride and has great four wheel drive.  I have the Can Am 650, lots of power, it feels big and rides big, not the best trail machine, the suspension feels good and I've only had it a couple months so theres not too much more I can say about it other than it packed out a bull elk and 3 guys and I think it could have packed out another elk at the same time.

My favorite to just put around trails and good for at the house is the Hondas.  So smoooooth, a pleasure to ride.
Funnest in the mud and tearing it up.....probably have to say the Artic Cat, they have a good power curve, don't feel as tippy as others that are as tall, and make you want to go fast.

Everything comes down to personal preference, my opinion would be to test ride as many as you can personally before making your decision.  I think any of the bigger machines would be able to handle the tracks no problem.  I rode a few prior to buying my Grizzly and it just felt more comfortable to me and my riding style.  When I bought my '06 660 it had the best ground clearance in its class and was also lighter than the Polaris.  The one thing I have to say about the big bore EFI is that they don't have the pull start, which I have used a few times and it saved my butt.  The newer machines with power steering would be a huge benefit with tracks as steering is always an issue with tracks.  Ride a few and see what fits you personally.

Is there a reason why you aren't looking into a UTV with tracks Machias?  Just curious, that's all.  Price is a bit higher, but you're still going to invest some big bucks.  I've really been researching them hard lately, and definately think I'm going with the UTV.  I really like Can Ams new Commander line, but there are no hard tops available yet.  One thing that really impressed me with the UTV over the 4wheeler is that it's under 6ft. wide and still can get around on most quad trails -- not to mention the ability to have two people side by side.  The Can Am UTV offers a darn good storage area in the back....I assume you'd benefit from this.  As for keeping the topic on hand, I own 3 Honda Rancher 350s.  Best wheeler out there for what I use them for.  If I were looking to track up a wheeler, I'd have a hard time not going with a Can-Am, with the local dealer providing excellent service here.  I'd stay as far away from a Polaris ATV as I could.  I can't figure out why they can build great sleds, but can't figure out a reliable ATV???

I have a Can-Am 650 with a winch and love it. The only upgrade I would consider is the can-am 800 but I can't think of a time when I NEEDED the extra power...but it would be fun.

I don't know anything about anything to do with this subject, but my lineman buddy in Kellogg said Avista uses Arctic Cats and they have had real good success with them.

I dont own one but I borrowed my bosses last year for our oregon hunt. He has a new grizzly 700, what a nice ride. If I ever had to put training wheels on and get off a bike this is the quad I get.

between me, my wife, and my neighbor and his wife, we've put over 60,000 miles on 8 different can-ams in the last 5 years with very minimal issues.  They are very well made, have the most power hands down are a blast to ride.  I'm on my 3rd one in 5years, because I put around 5k a year on them, my wife is on her second one in 5 years, great machines.  I have a lot of experience with all the brands and each has it's pluses and minuses, but I think overall the can-am is the best atv out there.  You won't find a better dealer and better service than Darren at Extreme powersports in Okanagan either.
