Srry i pressed enter by accedent and didnt post my question. I'm looking into buying an atv, and i love the banshee, but my pop want me to get an atv that can plow snow like 14 inches tops, and drag som stuff around, nothing serious, could the banshee do this if i could get a plow (if anyone knows where i can get one please let me know) and install a trailer hitch? Thanks.

 

mmm i am going to say no on this... 1st it would be a discrace to yamaha and 2nd that isn't what the quad is designed for. if i were you i would just get a big bore yamaha

 

No way, they are nearly impossible to lug...built to rev, just buy a bruin.

 

Just about any 4 stroke can do work like that, but 2 strokes are a different story, you'd burn up a banshee's clutch real quick trying to use it to plow snow. I use my warrior for work sometimes and it does great because these engines pull like a mule, even though the hp numbers are lower than a 2 stroke they still have a lot more low end grunt for doing work. The warrior also has a close ratio transmission with a lower than average first gear, which works good for towing, and would work good for plowing too. I'm not sure what other sport quads have the option of a trailer hitch, the warrior is one out of a very few though.

 

Well, it won't pull anything really heavy and most sport quad's will suck at plowing snow so I would say no. My family has a constrution business and we have (2) Quadracer 250's that we use like to get around the job with, but all its good at hauling is a person.

 

I think a dirt bike might be better for what your wanting...LOL

 

It might pull a log or something, as long as you pull it no less than 65 mph.

Banshee's also don't have reverse, so to back you'd have to hop off n push it back, that won't be too fun to do in a foot of snow.

 

another very good point, make sure you get a quad with reverse if you're using it for work.
