Default Brute, Grizz, Sportsman, or King- Cant Decide between the 4

Ok Guys,

Gettin ready to buy a new quad, only problem....IM STUCK

I dont know which one to get on thing that i need is the locking front diff so im pointed toward the Grizzly 700 more than anything because of that and i have always had a yamaha.

Any pros. or cons. on the others......Brute 750i, Sportsman 800, Grizzly 700, or Kingquad 750AXi

thanks in advance

The grizzly is a good choice, I like the King Quad also. I have a 660 grizz.

I own a Polaris 500 and use a Brute 750i at work. The power is not even close. I haven't ridden a Polaris 800, but I'm sure they'll both pull great. I have owned everything except a Kawasaki. Personally, I like the Polaris best of all. This is my second since 1999 and as of right now, I'm 100% trouble free. I love the ground clearance and ride comfort.

Are you saying that the Sportsman 500 has as much power as the Brute 750i or the opposite? Just curious cince I am considering a 500 EFI.

They all have fully locking diffs. THe King and Griz use push button. THe Brute you pull a lever. The Sportsman is always locked while 4wd is engaged.

Pretty sure that of the four that you listed that teh Griz is the slowest. They all have about the same features (except that the Griz can be had with power steering). All are fast capable rides and all do have a dif lock of some sort.

i've read that you can put any raptor 700 internal engine part in a grizzly 700 that would be one advantage to getting it right? only because i would have a wide range of parts
