I am going from a long time owner of Hondas to the world of IRS and simply cant decide on which is the best thing going. I have looked at the King Quad 750 AXI, Grizzly 700, and the Brute Force 750. I am open to all input on which one you'd pick and why. The first thing I have noticed is that the KQ and BF can be had for quite a bit less than the Griz, but I dont want money to be the only decision of teh purchase. I ride in deep mud, creek crossings, lots of sidehilling on Alaskas uneven mountainous terrain and will tow a heavy meat trailer occassionally when hunting. Fuel consumption is also something I am concerned with with these power monger machines so if one really eats the juice please tell me.Thanks in advance for any and all opinions

 

I'd go Brute Gorce.

 

Personally, I would take a look at the Can-am Outlander 650XT but those things are as much as a used car. Other than that, I'd go for the Kawasaki Brute Force 750 4x4i. But for the deep mud, you'll need new aftermarket tires, depending on how deep the mud is. And you don't have to really worry about fuel consumption if you're buying new. All new higher cc 4x4s all have Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI).

You can also try taking a look at some Polaris ATVs too, I here good things about those.


Welcome to the forum!! You'll find a lot of great help and many nice people around here.

 

Those models all have their good points but Polaris tow ratings are usually hundreds of pounds higher than the nearest competition. The 800 is really a 760 so it's in the same class as the others. Here's the towing capactities I found.

Sportsman 800, 800 X2, 800 Touring = <u>1500</u>, <u>1500</u>, <u>1500</u> pounds and Braked Trailer Towing Capacity = 1,913, 2,067, 2,067 pounds.
Grizzly 700 = <u>1,322</u> pounds.
Brute Force 750 = <u>1,250</u> pounds.
King quad 750 <u>None</u> listed on website.

 

Wont own a Polaris, sorry!

 

I like the grizzlys personally, you already said you don't want polaris.

so it's between The Kawasaki Brute Force, and The Grizzly. My opinion would be to go with the grizzly. i think kawasaki is better at making racing atv's and such, but its just my opinion. but no matter what you buy mud tires are essential if you plan on doing some mudding. most of the stock tires are no good for mud.

 

Since Polaris is out of the question I would pick the Grizzly too.

 

How come no love for the King Quad 750 AXI? Thats the one that appeals to me the most.

 

+3 on the Grizz Nothing agaist the King quad other than there just is not allot of aftermarket support for them plus the Grizz is just a better allaround quad!

I've never really had experience with Suzuki's ATV so I'm not much help with the king quads.
