RM67, I thought in case you did not know this but the Traxter and Quest models are still alive, just wearing John Deer Green now days.

I thought it was just the Traxter model they made into the Buck??

 

ok, correct me if this is wrong, but I think the traxter was the original bomb ute model, it had the full step through design and manual trans, later followed by the quest with a simi step through design and Auto CVT trans. Then the Quest name was later dropped and they were all called traxter. John deer has both the Auto and standard trans models with the full step through and the simi step through that use to called the quest back in the day.

 

Pretty well said LawdogB2. If you have the money to spend on anything you want, then do so. I peronally think it's a little high priced. But everything seems to increasing in price. (just a part of cost of living) I paid $7500 otd in 2001 for my loaded Sportsman 500H.O. Remington Edition. It was to high priced at that time. But for me it was the 4x4 utility to own at THAT time and I had the money. I still have it and still love it even though it wieghs in around 745lbs with all the accesories. (<----aprox guess) I know that I would get spanked by most every new 4x4 ute now day's. That's becuase every mfg is in competition for the next best top of the line quad in any segment. (Recreational 4x4, sport, UTE, Sport UTE, ect....) R&D cost money and that cost will always be past on to the consumer.....you just have to pay for the NEXT level of ATV. Now, I won't be the first in line to buy the new Renagade 800, only because they are a little expensive for what I have to spend on my next ATV. But that dosn't mean that I won't have one down the road. They have a great product for THAT segment!!! BRP/Can-Am makes great ATV's so do other MFG, some in different segments. Just buy the best ATV you can afford AND HAVE FUN WITH IT!! Don't look back and play that "I wish I could have." I've got a 2004 Kawasaki KFX700, 2001 Polaris Sportsman 500HO and a 2004 Bombardier DS650 BajaX. Three different MFG and really in three different segments. I just try and get the best quad (for me) for my money and I'm VERY happy with them all.

Fair enough, only been into BRP for a couple of years so haven't kept up on the other models I just seem to remember they had quite a variety of engines/trannies availabe in both models. These were considered mainly utility/work quads?? They must be pretty tough if John Deere put's their name on them now?

Hey, remember the Johnd Deere snowmobile, a 440 "liquifier" or something like that??? How long did that last and who made it??
