shopping four a new four wheeler. recently sold a magnum 325 4x4. it got me from point A to point B but very slowly. I want a new four wheeler. If money was not an issue, what would you buy? My choice must have four wheel drive. Mud, creeks, trails, and hills are what i ride in, and its deep mud. sometimes waist deep. what do you suggest?

IMO

1) 660 grizzly
2) Prairi 650
3) 650 Rincon
4) 700 sportsman
5) 600 Sportsman



I'm a biased yamaha fan, everything I have owned except for a Polaris Xplorer.
The Prairi and Grizzly would be a coin toss, but I would have to go with the Grizzly because I think it is a better looking machine.

definately a contest with only two opponents, grizz 660 and prarie 650

i have no experience with the prarie, but i hear that its great

i have been on the grizz though. it is a beast of a mud machine. endless torque and lots of speed when you need it. lots of fun to play on and rugged enough to play every day.

I guess some of you missed him saying DEEP mud so forget the hondas right off the bat.

you can't go wrong with a sportsman, prairie, or grizzly.
