I've been researching the Can-am Outlanders as well as every other bike i can find on the market. Can-am seems to be the one i keep coming back to. Im purchasing a 4x4 for multi purposes my main need is for plowing my laneway all winter and for getting my wood out of a swamp. Plowing is plowing, as for the wood im really dropping trees on a frozen swamp and dragging the entire tree up on a hill to be processed at a later date, meaning im not actually "loading" a trailer and worrying about tung weight. Im wondering about the different sizes of bike available, 400,500,650 or 800. im leaning towards the 650 xt atm. Ill probably leave the original tires on it ( on cause ive heard the Mudzilla's and Mudlites ) are not as stable on the higher speeds so im thinking original tires with chains for the ice. Does anyone out here actually work a Can am , not only trail ride it?? Im really wanting to buy a new bike leave the dealer and not come back other then to get service, unlike the Honda's ive been around. Thanks for all your responses and time taking helping me make the right decision!!!!!

 

check out atvfrontier.com there are more outy owners over there.

 

If you go with the Outlander get the 650 it has a much better front supension. The struts on the 400 & 500 sucks.

 

Thanks ive actually been debating on the 650 or the 800 from the get go. ill do some research on the difference between the 650/800 suspensions then , thanks.

 

The 650 & 800 are the same quad different motor. I made the mistake and though the 500 was the same, its not the front suspension is different. It dosn't handle as good as the 650. I spent a bunch of $$$ on the 500, still not as good as the 650.
Didn't find this out untill it was to late to return it and get another 650 for my wife.
