The Quest has even worse ground clearance than the Prairie with a rear hitch. If you are using a utility atv for utility work and plowing, ground clearance is important. I hung my SP500 up at least 3x each year plowing snow. In our part of the country (NW PA) getting parts for a Ski-Doo or Bombardier atv is like trying to get parts for a Yugo. Good Luck.

Jack is right. The Grizzly is a good bet without any modifications right off the showroom floor. I watched Jack's progression and research before he bought a quad as I too was looking for a quad for many of his same reasons. But I did not need to plow so I bought a Prairie 650.
But for $169 progressive springs can make that front end a better one on the 650. I personally believe that this setup makes it a better all-around ATV than anything else. But I am biased. I just love the sportiness of the 650 with the utility aspect.
Either way, a Grizzly 660 or Prairie 650 would be my vote. They are both more fun than should ever be allowed. I am looking for a second quad now as my wife is really into ATVing and she hates riding double. A big part of me wants another 650 but another part of me wants to try something different.
I am considering a Yamaha 660, Polaris SP500HO, and a 500i Cat. I know they are all very different ATV's for different purposes but one thing they all have in common is IRS. She is not a big gal and does not ride hard. A 300cc ATV would suffice. But it would be fun to have a bigger utility ATV around for my own personal pleasure too! I think a SP700 would really be too much for her. But then again, I could ride that and she could ride my 650. What do you guys think? Whatever I get her its coming out of her paycheck!
