OH yes...I like the fact that it does work well.....I just never seem to be able to "plan" on being stuck and need to switch over immediately if I do. Plus, operating a winch for a plow as well as manually holding down the locker at the same time does'nt work that well I'm sure.

both machines are nice but have you looked into a polaris yet, I am not trying to push the brand cuz that is what I have but I just believe it's a good brand and I have been very satisfied with mine so far but between the grizzly and the King Quad I would go with the KQ due to the EFI.

holding the locker for what? i have my hooked to my winch, just hit the button up and down the winch goes. not difficult, pretty simple i do believe.and with the brute i dont need difflock to plow snow, its got more snot that you can imagine. and i dont bury myself in a mudhole in 2wd drive then go "man now ive done it". switching to 4wd drive on any bike doesnt mean you will always get out. no matter what you ride.

I'm not happy with the weight of the unit because I will be using it for ice fishing, but that was where the KQ got my additional vote over the polaris....the weight. Ritchie Powersports in Tenn is advertising a polaris sp 700 EFI for $6578 out the door and the 800 EFI for $7377 out the door. I especially like their glacier plow system. I read a few too many posts about the Griz breaking axles. Anybody know of anything bad to watch for on the Polaris? I have heard good things about their warranty coverage, and I think they have a "limited" lifetime belt warranty whatever that means.
The competetion has to be grinning all the way to the bank over the KQ issue......the pricing on all the competetions units in that catagory are pretty close so I doubt many people will avoid another brand due to price. Especially if you consider that with a KQ you might end up with a $2500 repair bill two or three years from now....

I have a 05 SP700EFI and I can tell you that you wouldn't be dissapointed at all. I have 700 miles on mine and haven't had one problem.

I'd consider a Polaris if it didn't have that single brake lever and if it had a normal 4x4 system with a front locker. I liked the ride and the power and I could even live with the *** ugly looks but single lever brakes, 4x4 system I just couldn't live with. I hated going down hill with the thing. It wanted to slide around and felt really squirrelly.

I agree on the single brake lever. I'm a street biker....and it just does'nt feel right to me to have both front and rear brakes on one lever. Just personal preference I guess....although I love the idea of the vtwin except for trying to keep both carbs adjusted (or rather trying to find out which one is in need of adjustment when you have a problem)
