Arctic Cat would not be a disappointment. It has everything an outdoorsman needs (speed racks, unlimited accessories for Speedrack, ground clearance, 2" receiver..........)

2nd choice for me would be the Grizzly

 

my cat is bullet proof, almost! drown it at least 10 times, found a small crack on air intake hose to engine, but other than that has been rock solid. just bought a king quad 700, and it was a good decision i think. may not be as fast as the grizz or brute stock, but add a tfi, and pipe and hang on........ i ride with tons of friends, and all makes of quads. i talked to them, and kept my eyes open on tough rides to see who was breaking down more often..... polaris more often, but more rode them. brutes next, honda's were always left behind. suzuki and grizz were more reliable it seemed, and the cats were just punished beyond the limits, but took it for the most part. if $$$$$$$ is the issue, suzuki and cats are lower priced for the cc's. or just spend 10 grand and be the biggest with the thunder cat, its only $1500 more than most 800's

Is yamaha out of the question for you? The new grizzly 700 is a badass machine, my buddy has one and I have never been on a more comfortable quad. The power steering works like a dream, it has plenty of power, and its really comfortable.</end quote></div>

I concur. The grizz 700 is a beautifully crafted machine. With it's powerful engine, power steering, efi, and reliability it is my favorite to ride of the bigger machines. If i had the money for a can-am that is the only other big ute i would consider.

 

if u want something that can take long hours of ''abuse'' then choose a polaris all u have to do is take care of the damn thing and not abuse it all the time and just say who cares when theres something wrong.my 1994 polaris 400 is the best bike have ever owned NEVER had a problem with it,i love that bike and ive had it buried in mud past the handle bars. all i have to say is service ur atv every other month and there will be nothing wrong with it
