You would be suprised how much low end power the king has. The Bombardier might just slip its belt. How much does the Quest weigh?

Probabally 800lbs. give or take a little.I don't think the belt would slip.The KQ has pretty low gearing for sure but I don't know about the power.

I hate to say this but when the KQ can pull a Ford Aerostar uphill in dirt and the only way that it will spin is if someone hits the brakes in the van, I would say it can PULL and work no problem. I Highly recoomend the KQ as workhorse and day. BAR NONE. SuperLow is an awsome feature and add differential lock and see what happens.

Well, for my .02 worth here, there is no better workhorse out there except the Polaris Ranger 6X6. Get the chain boys and hook um up.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Im sure the Traxter is a nice machine , but if your looking for a true ute Id have to say go ahead and get the KQ. First Id consider the cost of both quads. Imo theres not any ute thats an automatic. To many parts to break when it comes down to it. Id also stay away from a liguid cooled machine if your gonna use it for any tough stuff. Look at it this way the KQ been out there for more then 12 years that gotta say something. Now i own both the 650 and the KQ, and the only time I use the ole brute is when the snow is pilled up against the garage door. Im sure the Trax has a good visco lock but it has to slip BEFORE the diff lock enguage plane and simple. On the other hand if u need the lock u reach down slap it into diff lock (no slip here)and off you go. But you had better have 4 acres to turn her around cause it aint goin the other way with out hittin the rev lever. Anyways true ute = King.......Rob

This might just be my friends king quad, but every time we go out every half hour we have to stop and wait 5 min for the oil light or over heat light to go off, it gets kind of annoying but that might just be his quad cause he has had alot of problems with it and from the few king quad post i've read everybody else seems to be happy with their king quad. but for the price it's not bad but it is only 300, if your gonna go with suzuki go with the quad runner.

Robh,
I'd have to disagree. I'd always take a liquid cooled engine over an aircooled engine. As far as the visco-lock front end goes, you'd have to try it to believe it. No shifting anything it just engages, and quick to I might add. Also it engages on the go, you don't have to stop to put it in. I'll guarentee if you had a sled the traxter would outpull a KQ if both were stock.
