I just sold my Bruin 350 yesterday and I used it to plow my driveway for 2 years. It did not have a low gear or locker. It worked fine. My driveway is straight and has no incline, but it is large. 4 cars wide and 4 cars deep. I had no problems plowing. The only power problem I had with the bruin was when I put mudlites on it. I didn't notice much powerloss while riding, but when I got into thick mud the tires wouldn't even turn sometimes.
I personally think ATV's are like bottles of booze.. you can get the biggest one for a just a little more, and they way they are priced makes you ( or atleast me) want to get the bigger one. (Ok, I'm talking whiskey at this point)
The 660 Grizz is not much more then the 450..then the 700 is not much more then the 660..
The power of the Grizz 700 (and I'm sure the 660 also) is huger in comparison to the 350. Do you need all that power? Probably not.
Long story short, don't sell yourself short over a thousand dollars when you can get what you really want, or wish you had gotten down the road.
Personally, I'm happy I bought a bruin first, If I had a Grizz 660 or 700 first I probably would be dead right now. lol</end quote></div>
I thought I sw you over at grizzly central because you posted something about selling your quad to a 15 yr old, and you had a new Grizz, and now that I see you pictures compared to your avatar there, I'm now sure.(if that didn't make much sense it's probly because I can't think straight right now.</end quote></div>
yep thats me...I seen you on there too..thought the name was familiar..now it makes sense [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I locked in a steel blue 450 Grizzly yesterday, no winch, but with the $79 snow plow package instead. I'm thinking that the plow will be much more used than a winch what with this being a family machine and all. 2 yr. warranty, 0 down, 0 interest, 0 pmt for 6 mo. Won't pick it up until the 24th of Dec., so no photos yet. We won't be going mud bogging, etc., at least I don't plan on it! But............... someday I might have to pay for that decision!
Thanks for everything, everyone, you really have been a ton of help! And Merry Christmas!

Maybe I'm missing something but don't you need the winch to conveniently use the plow? I thought that's what adjusts the height and lifts the blade!
Congratulations on the new quad. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
