What is the best all around utility quad? One that handles, performs and is easy to ride!

Thanks,
Mitch

 

prairie 650. nuff said? badass power easy to handle, rides great.

 

Grizz 660, lots of power and IRS.

 

Rancher-This is the just enough, but not to much bike. It's light and agile! It's not a big bore, but it's not a pipsqueak either.

 

It's my opinion that it all comes down to what you are looking to do, the conditions that you'll be using the vehicle in and the money that you are willing to spend.

Cost was not a big factor in my decision, I just wanted the best utility vehicle I could get for what I want/need it for. I researched my options for quite some time and narrowed the field down to 2, the 650 and the 660. These two machines are great and I don't think you really can go wrong purchasing either one.

I chose the 660 because of what I'll be using it for and the terrain I'll be on. I'm in NH and I will be using the machine on tight, rough trails. The IRS was a big factor to me. Also, because I will be using the machine in a lot of snow, I wanted to be able to lock the diff and keep it locked, I didn't want to have to hold in a lever the whole time (i.e. plowing).

I will say that if I rode on faster and smoother trails, I probably would have gone with the 650- more of a "sport" utility. Plus, I'm a Kawaski fan- I've had good lick with thier products.

I will also say that the Rubicon came in third on my list, it is a great machine, just fell short of features that I wanted. I considered the 700- but the weight and the unknown of a new engine turned me off. The other options were disqualifed early in my search.

Best of luck!

 

Honda 300 4x4 . buy mine u will enjoy it plus it has enough low end torques never i mean never buy a belt atv besides a sportsman 700 4x4/2x4 they riule so there is ur best advice a honda 300 is the best atv ever made can't go wrong

 

I'm with TrailRaker, I've been reading a lot of info about the big quads. I like the Prarie 650 and the Griz 660, they are both awesome. I haven't decided which one though. I'm thinking about trading the Raptor in on one, a 4X4 has a lot more uses where I live, it's always muddy!

 

Polaris Magnum

 

I agree on the Honda 300 4X4's, I had two of them and they were great but, for today's money go for the 450 Foreman ES. I'm on my 2nd one (first was stolen ) I like to keep the bells and whistles down to a minimum and have a proven trans. No Belts please.

 

What do ou want to spend?
