Default Buying my 1st ATV for Colorado Mtn's 7-12,000 Ft.

I would really appriciate your thought and suggestions on the right ATV for my use: Bow Hunter, Elk, Trail riding, Camping in back country, etc. Speed is not a concern, I am more interested in pulling power up steep grades and STABILITY!!! So far i am confused by the dealers and have looked at Polaris 400 & 500HO, Artic Cat 400-500 and Susuki 400-500 Eldgier? Polaris does seem to own this market, is that due to good marketing or good machines, my other concren is how often do the engines need top ends done, Hours vs Miles?

Thanks for any help

Terry

For stability and pulling power, the Polaris Sportsman 500 is great. Independent rear suspension and loads of power.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
