Here's the deal. I'm looking to purchase a new ute...something that could handle some heavy plowing yet still be fun on the trails.

King Quad
$7625.76 + 69.95 (plow) + $433.95 (winch) = $8129 OTD

'05 Vinson Manual
$6545.76 OTD w/ out plow and winch....figure about $7k w/ plow and winch.

'05 Sportsman 500
$7500 w/ Glacier Plow and warn 2500 winch

'04 Honda Foreman 450 S
$6172.32 OTD without plow or winch

The KQ got thrown in there b/c the salesman was really steering me towards it. All prices were quoted at different dealers.

What do you guys think about the prices? I think they are all high, esp the Sportsman and the Foreman.

What do you think will be the best for some heavy plowing (all types of snow...deep, wet, heavy, light, etc.) for at least 12 houses per snowfall reliability wise and performance wise, yet still be able the have fun on the trails? I like the Honda for it's proven reliability and high resale value. The Polaris will handle the snow with authority. The Vinson will be fun on the trails. To be honest, I haven't seen or heard enough about the KQ to have a general impression. Any help would be appreciated. I am looking to make my purchase by Dec. 31st.

Thanks.

 

They are all good machines and all have their problems ... i would go and ride them all and see what fits your need. IMO the dealer that has the best service and most helpful gets my business.

 

Polaris for work
KQ for fun

get a polaris 700 if you want extreme work and something that could compete with the KQ. but for fun, i would deffenetly recomend the KQ. in Dirt Wheels (i know, i know) the KQ came in first, then the Polaris 700efi, and then the BF.

from what your doing id get the KQ
