QUOTE from Catterman: Honda's are probably the most reliable

I have to disagree, bro. Most of my relatives have for years run AC's, and NO major problems. These are machines that are used almost daily to plow snow, ice fishing, haul wood, haul feed, pull trailers, pull deer stands, trail ride, jump, run errands, chase cows, and in addition to all that some are also used for racing in Mud Runs with upgraded tires. None have had any major problems except when modified w/cylinders, etc.

 

The 500 foreman is all the work horse your farm would need also handles nice and light in the bush.....I was very impressed with the pulling power...

 

hunting and farm work you need something with big ground clearance a smooth ride that takes on the toughest terrain and laughs at it and can pull a butt load well that is simple arctic cat all the way. my dad has a foreman and it is a tough atv but there is no ground clearance with the straight axle and it is rough riding. when we have to chase cows i can be more aggressive cause i have complete control going over tough terrain. when it comes to deer hunting the last couple years in the morning i have driven through where he gets stuck and have to pull him out and he has the exact same tires as me. but if i wanted to buy an atv to keep for 20 years it would be a honda but arctic cat doesn't get the recognition it should you wouldn't be dissapointed.

 

the kodiak 450 is an awesome quad for hunting/work.
