Go with Can-am.  A little more money, but you get what you pay for.  I"ve had 5 now and had great luck with all of them.  And you can ride them anywhere you want on federal land, which is all USFS land except on the main roads.  They are legal on all federal land, offroad.

Arctic Cat 500.. and you can haul 500lbs easy too!! Notice those other brands only can haul a small deer or a just the head of a elk. .

Honestly this 4 wheeler is awesome more ground clearance then the other brands and I've never had a problem with it in 4000miles in 5 years so far. Love it.

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.

Mine was as serious as a heart attack.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

I know you've said that on here many times. Still not sure I believe it, but if it is true, is a helmet required?

I have a 650 Rincon and would suggest getting something 450CC and above with Hi and Low Range. Mine does not have low range.  :twocents:

I have the Honda Foreman.  It will go anywhere, and it will easily pull a ton of hay.  I use mine all the time on a small farm plus getting up logging roads.

You do need a helmet, it's a $124 ticket if I remember correctly. Besides, you're an idiot if you don't wear one. I learned the hard way. I guess that's why I'm crazy............

I know you need a helmet if you're riding on roads that are legal for ATV's and designated ATV trails. I just wondered if it was still required for just going cross country. Personally, I will not wear a helmet while riding a 4 wheeler. And that's why I sold mine.

Have had Yamahas all my life and will probably never change...that said make sure you get a machine that is EFI... with the shotty gas now days its eating up carbuerators like no tomorrow.
I would suggest something in the 450 cc they are small enough to maneuver around and have plenty of power. I have a 600 Grizzly but find myself riding the wifes new 450 more often. Just my  :twocents:

I would caution, while I can't speak for all forests, I do know that the forests where I operate have restricted ATV usage to designated roads and trails. I think the best advice is to call your local ranger station before riding. :twocents:

I think we should give up ATVs and start using bulldozers instead, they're legal................. :chuckle:
