Does anybody out there own the Yamoto 250 or Kazuma Cougar 250/Redcat RFX-250 utility ATVs? The Yamoto machine is sold as either "Brigadier" or "Desert Storm". I am a farmer and interested in spending as little as possible for an ATV to use around the farm (I have little interest in speed, hill/mud riding, etc.). I need something that has pretty decent towing capacity and front/rear rack capacity and these machines are rated with capacities greater than say the Kawasaki and Yamaha machines of the same size (the supposed towing capacity of the Yamoto is 727 lbs., while the towing capacity of the Bayou 250 is 385 lbs.). If you've never ridden one of these machines (and don't know anyone else who has), please don't respond with the ignorant "All Chinese ATVs are crap" (they may be, but I want to hear from someone who knows)...

 

If I were you i would buy a used Bigbear, Around $3300 for a 2003, well at least around here, they are work horses. perfect for the farm, or maby look into a older honda 300 4x4, both great machines
