ATV size required
#1
This may be an age old question for some of you, but here goes.
I'm a duck hunter and I need to purchase a 4x4 to go through flooded rice fields and such. A typical load would be 2 people including the driver and say 100 lbs of other stuff. Occasionally you might have 3 people on the bike but then less other stuff. Is a 4x4 in the 350 class sufficient to get the job done, such as the rancher, or do I really need a more powerfull bike? Many hunters use foremans but when I've driven them they seem to be far more bike than is really required. Considering there's a $1,000 or more in price difference, I'd rather spend the money on club fees or even decoys.

A few nice 4*4 quads for cheaper is the Big Bear, Eiger , artic cat 375,rubicon rancher, and any polaris model,these quads all price in 5'999 to 5'199. If you wanted to go bigger you could get a polaris sportsman 500 that is 6'999 though. Hope i was some help if you have questions type back on the forum i know quads like the back of my hand.
