The Banshee?
Best all around quad there is?
Better than any Polaris or Kodiak?
Most versatile quad around?
You can cut the grass at least 1hr quicker on a Banshee than opposed to a 300 Honda 4x4?

Strong,Strong,ACCUSATIONS.It;s great you guys like the Banshee,however,the above statements dont hold much merit.

In Michigan,it snows,the weather is very unpredictable.Michigan is the only State I know that you can get sunburned and frostbite in the SAME wk.

Will your Banshee take you to retreive your deer in 8 or more inches of wet snow?Will it even plow 8 or more inches of snow?Can it plow a large mound of dirt?What happens when you come upon a swamp in the trail and get caught up in it?How about them real rutted up hills that 4x4 quads have trouble with,can you handle that to with your deer strapped/unstrapped to the quad?Get off camber once with your versatile Banshee and a deer strapped to it.What?No reverse?

Now for cutting grass an hr faster than your 4x4 Honda?BS.In order to CORRECTLY cut your grass,speed must be reduced in order to allow the blades to cut properly.So unless your Honda would'nt exceed 5-7 mph,you cutting grass much quicker on a Shee is highly exagerated.

Banshee's for speed,but I'll plow,cut grass,and do overall work with a 4x4 quad much more efficently,
Bill

You said it bill! With 5 whole inches of clearance the Banshee is for sure the best quad ever built!

I hope the roads are paved where they hunt. ;P

I strongly believe that you have to use your resources but I hope you didn't buy the banshee to go hunting!!
I would feel much better if I had a 4wd or atleast reverse

Umm Guys,
If you would have read the whole post, you'd have seen the little "p.s" at the bottom with the word "kidding" next to it. Usually when someone says they are kidding, well they are....

I'm not kidding.
I have a 2000 lbs winch, rear rack, trailer hitch.
Just missing are lownmawers and snowblade.

Imust admit though that towing a trailer without reverse is tough, but hey! to get my 4x8 trailer to the other side of the forest, i'll probably be faster than any Kodiak or whatever!
