Maybe he should be looking at SxS's as well then. You have a dump box, and can sit two people more comfortably than in a 2-up ATV.

There are many choices: Yamaha Rhino, Kawasaki Teryx, Polaris Ranger, and the Honda Big Red.

 

True a UTV would probably fit his needs better then a ATV. But are much more expensive.

 

Yes, but maybe a nice, low hours/mileage 2008 or 2007 would be best.

I'd personally take a look at a used Rhino 700 (or 660), used Teryx, or even a used Polaris Ranger. You should be able to find a nice used version of each of them for under $7000.

 

my vote goes for a honda foreman, or a SxS. it depends what else the machine will be used for, but if it does stay in the yard and theres enough room to maneuver a SxS, that would be the way to go. if it is even being considered for a trail once in a while, i would go with the foreman (manual foot shift or rubicon, not es)

 

Trinityquad, they all have given great advice and welcome to the forums.

Once you narrow your list down, get out to the dealers and ride as many as you can. You'll know when you have the right one.
