I am new to ATV'ing and I am looking at the 2006 Hawkeye. the ATV will be driven by my 16 year old daughter and maybe my wife (occasionaly) right up to me (220lbs-her father). I want to put a plow on it to remove the snow on a small driveway (one car wide two cars long). I like the look of the Hawkeye, but a bit hesitant on the 300cc's. A bigger ATV would probably deter the girls. I rented a few Kawasaki 360's and it was a bit to big for them. Will the Hawkeye be under powered to plow and I will end up killing it? Any comments welcomed.


Thanks

 

We had a '06 Hawkeye for a year. It will plow just fine. Just need to have a winch for it or some other method to raise and lower the plow. Might want to consider the '08 Sportsman 400, which is basically a Hawkeye exterior with a Sportsman 450 engine.

 

if you get it, just make sure the up dated jetting has been doen so you wont have carb problems.

 

What is up dated jetting ?

 

they were having issues being too rich from the factory in high atl. and would bog out i beleave. correct hawkeye owners if it was differnt.

 

My 06 starts to run out of jam at about 6,000 ft on a hot day. 7,000 on a cool day. If you don't try to beat it to death, you'll luv the hawkeye. I'm 200 lbs and it will go anywhere that my buddies go with their bigger toys. Take a look at the Hawkeye on tracks on "My Page", if it'll pull tracks, it'll plow snow. Max size plow is 48" though.

 

man the hawkeye on tracks looks sweet^^^^^.. looks nice mongrol!!

 

More pictures please....I am on the fence on the purchase of the Hawkeye. I am in Canada and I think I am going to buy in the States. The cost difference is about $2,000.00, but I loose warranty.
