Hi...new registered user here.

I need help trying to figure out which ATV to get and looks like i came to the right place.

I live in the mountains of VA with several ATV trails close to the house but this is secondary.
Would like to purchase a working ATV,something i could push snow with and use for cutting wood.
Already have a 5x8 trailer for wood.

Its going to be either a Grizzly 700 or a Rhino,4x4 of course.
Tell me which would be the better choice and tell me how critical is power steering.

Thanks

 

It s comparing apple with oranges a SxS and a ATV,its just what serves you best. As for Power steering they steer easy without it and easier with it,but no ATV I ever owned or rode would I consider hard to steer. I would pay maybe a few hundred for Power steering but not a thousand like there asking now.

For me buying a 550 with Power steering for the same price as a 700 without PS seems like a bad trade off.

 

I agree with TLC, you can't compare the two, they are two toally different animals.

As far as the power steering I would get it IMO. I can't speak from experience with the Rhino but the Grizzly is a bear to steer if you are in 4X4 AND the diff lock is engaged. If the diff lock is disengaged it is not bad to steer.

 

There probably isn't much a Grizz with a trailer couldn't do that the Rhino will, except perhaps bring an extra set of helping hands along. Some trail systems are 50" wide or less, leaving the Rhino out. Rhino weighs more, and that can be helpful when plowing and towing/hauling. The Grizz will be more nimble due to being narrower, lighter, and shorter.

 

If you are the only riding then get the Grizz. No one will want to ride as a passenger anyways if you ride like I do.....lol
