Talking Shopping for an ATV!!

Hello im new to this forum but for the past week i've been searching for a ATV to buy. I own a 2002 Honda 350 Rancher currently and i just want to get something with more power and durability to it for around the farm and mud and trail riding. Also something that is really reliable. I've been looking at A Suzuki King Quad 700, A Yamaha Grizzly 700, and A Honda Rincon 680. But honestly i've been so far out of the loop with four wheelers I don't know whats good or whats bad.
So needless to say i just need some help or advice on what to get.

Hard to beat the simple 350 Rancher for durability . Power wise anything 450cc and up would be a power increase.
Stay away from a 680. With its limited tall geared 3 speed tranny even many smaller displacement ATVs have a higher towing capacity. Even the smaller 420 Rancher and 500 Foreman have at least a bull low 1st gear.
It may be a big bore 680 but its rated at only 39hp, that's what most 550cc have today.

I like the KQ or Grizzly , even the 500 and 550 version would be a major power leap over your Rancher.

Well i actually own a 2002 Yamaha Grizzly 660 but it has frame damage and the cost to repair the frame is basically another four wheeler. So basically just get another Grizzly. i was never able to use my grizzly through the mud or trail ride that much because of the because of the frame bent.
