i have found some alright deals on a few 4x4 fourwheelers, which one yall think is the best route, if you can list the pros and cons in your opinon, or if you think a certain one sucks. anyway they are a 2004 vinson suzuki 500, 1999 artic cat 500, or a 1999 yamaha 600 grizzly. thanks guys

 

I would go with the AC first, the vinson and then the grizzly. The AC is about the same as mine, well balanced, 5 speed semi auto, good power and reliable. The vinson is similar, I believe it's auto or at least most of them are. They are kind of a watered down version of the now KQ 500's. I have read a lot of bad about the grizzlys, and I have no experience with them, just what I read. Hope that helps.

 

I would go with the Suzuki just because it's 5 years newer than the other 2. If you want a Grizzly the 660 is way better than the 600.

 

I'd also go with the Suzuki first. I believe the Vinson is just a straight axle version of the King Quad which is independent rear suspension (IRS). IRS is a more comfortable ride with better ground clearance. Straight axle rear is easier to kick out in high speed corners.

 

Vinson was around before the King Quad replaced it. Yes it is a straight axle and the one sitting in my garage is a semi auto, not belt.

 

Get the Vinson is this shootout the it hands it to the 500 Arctic Cat, Reviews of Motorcycle, ATV, Snowmobile and Watercraft vehicles
The 600 Grizzly was a short lived ATV before being replaced by the 660 Grizzly.
Some say the motor was to big and powerful to be a air/oil cooled.

 

i was also thinking the suzuki but im also fond of big motors, so with that being said whats wrong with the grizzly 600? if i can get my hands on a grizzly 660 its not a question ill go with it but now between the vinson and grizzly 600 which is faster? does the 600 heat?

 

The grizzly 600 didn't last too long and from the reviews I read, there were reasons. Just not glowing reviews, but it doesn't sound like it was a piece of junk.

 

vinson or arctic cat. Arctic cat used the suzuki motors up till around 2008,then they built their first very own 650H1. The Vinson has a solid rear axle (SRA) and seemed to be a pretty good atv back in the day. cant remember if there were any full auto vinsons.
The arctic cat had a semi auto clutch, toe/heel shifter with full floor boards. the vinson may have had the floor boards also,cant remember. Cat has a semi independent rear suspension. It was a solid rear axle but was equipped with Two shocks to act a little more like an independent suspension. also a pretty strong bike back in them days.
Never seen a 600 grizz,and probably for a good reason as others stated. 660 griz is everywhere now.

both vinson and cat were full time 4wd up till 2001. I know there was a lever kit for the 1999 250 4wd arctic cat models. if you bought the kit it allowed you to select 2wd or 4wd so there may have been a kit for the 500.

 

there are some vinsons that were automatic, i havent personally seen any. The semi Auto vinson has a low range on the tranny, i have one and use the machine around the yard, that low works great for towing large loads of firewood.
Yes, the vinson has full floor boards.
