Thanks guys for the feedback about the diff lock. My worry was that they sacrified an effective 4wd diff to get the diff lock in there, giving it 2wd, 3wd, and 4wd lock. Sounds like that is not the case. That's good.

 

Magazine shootouts are to 4 wheelers what michael jackson is to the black community, just way out there! I will say this though! I bought a grizzly for what it COULD DO, not for what it cant! I am sure i could loose a prarie in some areas, as well as he could loose me too. The new sportsman 700 has definite advantages over the lot of them, just not for me. So, if i were going to buy a new quad, and had to rely on the magazines to help me come to a desition, i would be screwed! There all great quads, and there all lacking in areas. But, if you know where you love to ride the most, then pick one that suets that area best. Who really cares witch one will go 1.4 mph faster on the mile strech in 84 degree weather with a soft 6 mph wind at your back, lol. In the end, it really is up to the rider who can tackle the rough stuff better anyway, aint it? I love my grizzly, and could give half a turd who says theres is better. I say, if it is, more power to ya, i wouldn.t traid mine for the world. Thats just my opinion, i could be wrong.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
