SS-
Have you done any looking yet? I'm curious to hear what you've been leaning towards.

I recommend Honda. They are ultra realiable. If I had my pick I'd go with the Rubicon. We have three Foreman that are over ten years old and have over 6000 miles on them and they have never had any problems. The only knock on Honda is their ride is not as cush as something like a Polaris. My friend has a Polaris half as old and with half the miles and he has put a ton of money into fixing stuff the last couple years, nice soft ride though. Once you get your wheeler order your snow plow as soon as you can, if you wait you'll have to shovel the first couple snowfalls while your plow is back ordered.

If you are looking at new ones give Steadmans out in Toollee a call.

A guy here at work was looking at a Razor and found that they had them for a better price than anybody else.

Good luck and have fun.

Most of them have such a short suspension travel that they tend to be tippy in rough rocky roads. An old Suzuki Samarai with a lift will be cheaper and safer. The Polaris ATVs especially the ones with the side by side seats and ROPS seem very stable and probably safer. They start at at least twice the price of an old jeep or suzuki.

i have had a polaris and the maintenance was terrible just to use it from year to year. Recently borrowed a Honda for 9 days up in Idaho hunting whitetails and loved it. They have only put new tires on the thing since they have owned it and it was a great machine. My next ATV will be a Honda
