I need some advice on what atv I should get. I love the honda 450s but the nonlocking front end just wont get me in and out of some places. I'm a hunter so I want a atv that is stable enuf and has enuf power to haul a deer back up a steep mountian. Ive ridden a 86 honda fortrax 250 for about 12 years now and I like how stable it is. Ive climbed hills with it that some of the big bores fliped on.
I was thinking about going with the grizzly 660 but I need the touk of a manual transmintion. Is there any way of locking the front end on the new forman s?

Why do you think you need a locker? I personally would have gotten a Vinson 500 manual if I had it to do over, but the locker would not bother me on 450. I could easilty pull a deer(s) over terrain that would chew the deer into little pieces with ease. Hint: My sig is wrong, I live in Indiana and might be willing to part with my green 2002 450S for a fair price

THe Honda has a limited slip differential that works well while teh quad is new. After that invest in a detroit locker from highlifter.com. Locks both front wheels while under power.

Best of both worlds, a honda with true 4x4.

the reson I think i need a lcker is becuz Ive road my uncle's 2000 450s and ive got it stuck in places where only one frontwheel is tuching.
do you all think the 450s is the one I should get for my needs?

p.s sometimes I like to climb some wicked steep hills.

If you like the honda get it. If you are really worrieg call highlifter and see if they make a locker for you if so buy that and you have what you want.
