Any thoughts on this ATV guys? Please? Am planning to act by tomorrow.The price was listed on CL at $4200 and through several emails, he has finally dropped it to $3650 bottom dollar?!?!? I know some have mentioned not to go below a 60" blade, but the 48" is what comes with this one. This thing works great! I love this machine but want a side by side for family. It also has a newer Cycle Country 48 in blade with an electric lift. It has tons of power, more than you would think. I have owned this for over 4 years, runs like new with no problems. New rear tires and front are over half left. It is fully automatic with low range, has a receiver hitch. It's a.2004 Suzuki Twin Peaks 700 liquid cooled, four stroke atv, with locking differential. As of right now though, I'm actually leaning towards one that wasn't even on the original list. Sorry for the long post! Good luck with your search! When you get on the right one you'll know it. In the end if possible you should go test drive all of the contenders and see which one will work the best for you. The only thing I can see going wrong with the Outlander is they historically have wake frames, so weak that companies have started making frame reinforcement kits to prevent them from bending and breaking, if your plowing with it i would be worried about hitting a curb or something and messing up the entire front end of it. In the snow the solid axles will get high centered much easier than the bikes with IRS due to lack of ground clearance. Also the rubicon, kodiak, and arctic cat all have solid rear axles, like stated above you need to think about that and the advantages of IRS. Hondas are known for reliability but you can only listen about that to a certain point, no honda is perfect and depending how you ride and treat the machine even a honda will break. My experience with the brute forces is that they constantly burin up belts, you said you want to plow with whatever you get and if you get a big wet snow with the kawasaki chances are you will burn a belt due to slipping. For plowing the fact that it has a full size frame is a plus because it makes it a little heavier than some of the others you mentioned like the kodiak and arctic cat and you cant beat the ride quality. I've ridden and worked on many different atvs over the years and have ridden most of the ones that you included in your search, now I have a 2006 500 Sportsman so I might be a little biased towards the popo, it has been great for me over the past 3 years. This ATV comes complete with a NEW CYCLE COUNRTY 48" SNOWPLOW and NEW KFI electric winch!!!! Price: Asking $3500 **2005 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 This is an automatic model and has only 1802 miles. steel dump trailer that I modified to attach to the ATV's rear trailer ball. it is in great condition and has always been kept in the garage. The tires are in great shape and it has aluminum wheels. It runs and drives great! The body is excellent on this unit! It has a front mounted winch on it also. **2002 Honda Rubicon 500 It is a 4 wheel drive, automatic transmission with the electric shift option also. **2002 Polaris Sportsman 500 Classic green color, no rips in seat, all lights work, 4x4 works, Hi/Lo, new battery, new starter, new front tires this year, rear tires 75%, new rear axles (both left and right) has IRS, starts great, runs great, has hand guards, front rack has gun/bow holder on it. No plow or winch that I know of!! Price: Asking $4050!! **2006 Brute Force 750AT V-twin, kawasaki, 4x4, camo plastic, has a locking front differential, 275 hrs., 2523mi., itp midlite tires, runs strong and will go anywhere. The four wheeler was mostly used for hunting. The plow is very helpful in the winter time. Along with the quad comes a very nice 52" snow plow. The quad also has a full protective bottom along with a-arm guards. The XT is the upgraded model that includes aftermarket tires, 2000 pound winch, handguards, and front and rear bumpers. The quad has almost 500 miles and is in nice shape. I'm not looking for detailed opinions but maybe just take a look through and see if anything jumps out as a good/bad deal! If there is no mile/hour info it's because it's not been provided. Uses will be pushing some snow (3-4 small driveways), trail riding, light hauling and hunting. Here are a few that are local to me that I'm trying to decide on. I'm fixing to purchase my very first ATV and am looking for your opinions.
