what quad do you have?
« on: December 23, 2011, 09:49:56 AM »
I'm looking at getting a used quad for hunting. Something quiet, 4 wheel drive, and gets around great. Any ideas on what I should be looking at?

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

FYI, you can't use ATV's for hunting in very many areas in Washington. I belong to a couple ATV clubs and we can hardly ride them in the woods. Private timber lands, State and DNR are the only ones off hand that I can think of where you can ride them if allowed. If you can, make sure they are registered with your ORV sticker on your quad and be sure to wear your helmet. Both are nice fines if you don't.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

Its for private land. And for getting on some back roads in the snow that the truck won't get through. I already have horses and I'd like some serious answers please.

I bought a 2007 Honda Rancher in 07 when Honda came out with the 420cc fuel injected motor. I love it! It is a great quad, 4x4, goes where I want. I ride trails, push cows, haul deer, salt, hay etc... I love my Honda Rancher!
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Got a Polaris Sportsman 500, 700, and 800. All great machines and will take you places you really shouldn't go... :twocents:

I have a 500 sportsman and its the biggest hunk of junk I have ever seen or been around! Was in the shop 4 times within the first 4 months of us buying it. Then 2 years ago it locked up in reverse and it has been nothing but a problem. One of these days I will get it fixed and get a better one! Probably a grizz or rhino.

Hmm...that's too bad. Between 3 guys we have 2 500s, 1 500 HO, 2 700s, and my 800 and none of us have had any problems. Well, one 500 HO didn't survive a head-on collision with a jeep... :chuckle:

Yeah it is, my buds run them and have not had any problem. I am done with them, they would not give me a new one. Mine did not even have 10 miles on it before it went to crap. It was still under factory warrenty so it was not a big deal. Time after time it still broke down. All within about a month! I talked to factory and they would not do anything other then say keep getting it fixed! I said what happens when the warrenty is gone. Well I found out! Never again :tup:

I have a 2005 Polaris Sportsman 700 EFI and love it. No problems at all. I would suggest EFI(electronic fuel injection) if your thinking of riding above 5000' elevation. I looked at the new sportsman and they look sweet. The power steering system they are using now sounds good. I wish mine had power steering. When you get some gear and winch on the front, it makes it a little tougher to steer at slow speeds.
