I checked the 300 and 375 cats when I was looking last spring, they fit me okay, but not great. You might check prices on the 400/500i. Some dealers are offering pretty good prices, and a few people have said that the i model cat is too big for them. I'm 6'2", and my 500i fits me perfect. The big Cats are more of a workhorse, and can carry heavy loads without bottoming out on the rough stuff, something to think about if you're dimensionally enhanced.

Thanks for the info. I can pick up this 2002 cat 4x4 300 up for 4000 new out of the box also he is giving me a deal on the cat 90 for 1750. It is a Farm supply near by giving me the deal, so I think I might take it.

I saw this one dude on an AC 250 4x4 that weighed 350-400, it pulled him around but the front wheels kept comming off the groung cause the engine is in the back and he sat kinda of back and he had this huge box on the back packed with stuff, it looked kinda of funny but he seemed confertable.
