Looking for some info on what is better in different driving conditions auto or manual I mostly drive in boggy mud areas

txs!

 

I'd take manual for mainly wide open spots...clutching can get kind of annoying in tight places and with mud, go ahead with an auto--it'll be a lot easier on you and better I think...

 

zap, I am assuming you are referring to the semi-manual(questionable terminology) where you have to shift gear without a clutch. I rode a King Quad for along time and it was great, I liked the fact I could keep it in first and second and keep the low end torque for crawling thru and over stuff. Now I have a auto and I see know differnce other then the fact my left foot gets bored. I found myself trying to shift it the first couple times out. With an auto I do not have to worry about what gear I am before I start to climb hills or the same thing when going down and wanting to use the gears to act as a brake. I was hesitant at first of the Auto but they are great and it seems this may be the future of utilty quads. Hopes this helps. I too ride boggy mud areas and would not buy another manual again, I got lazy in 6 months. AlaskaBoy.

 

for mudding and stuff go with an automatic. But if you ride hard manual, banging gears feels awesome. Plus like alaskaboy said your left foot gets bored, but I think you'd be better off with an auto.

 

Welcome to the forums. I would say go with the auto. Getting stuck would be bad, getting hurt would be worse. You can always sell it later and buy a manual. Sell it to a friend, and you'll have a riding partner. If you're married, give it to your wife and get her involved too.

 

I'd say a auto for mud riding. JMO
