In particular, Honda or Arctic cat.
Honda do not have a proper rear differential.
The rear axle is solid inhibiting tight turns.
Gets worse when towing a heavy load,
ATV does not want to turn.
A proper rear differential,
that could be locked when needed,
would be ideal.
Anyone?

 

Look for a quad with what is called a turf mode. Polaris has some models, and the older bayou 300s had it too.

 

^ Yep, my Polaris X2 500 EFI. Doesn't affect the turning radius, just doesn't tear the grass up while turning.

 

The old Yamaha Terra-Pro had a rear end that was also made like that. A Great little machine in its day. Check the link out for more info on them.

Any of you know if Arctic Cat have this in the new 700D (diesel) or are they solid back axle like Hondas.
