So I would go King Quad, then Outlander/Sportsman. I feel that the Honda would be underpowered in this group, and not nearly as much fun on the trails. That's why I feel that all around the Suzuki is best for you.

I would also consider the Kawasaki Brute Force 750i.

I am looking for something that is very reliable for the most part but it also has to be able to do a significant ammount of work as its main use will be in the back woods of Vermont. Also would be nice to have something that is good in the mud and on the trail. I am looking for your opinions on different quads not just the ones i listed. Thanks in advance.
