WILF 44,327 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Had a look at those can am things, bit out of my price range for what I want......grizzly may be the one I go for. It's only for jobs around the place anyway and the place ain't that big. May drag the topper round on occasion, carting feed, fencing etc The nearest neighbour is about half a mile down the way and he happens to have a little business fixing quads and mowers so should be alright for repairs if needed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,639 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I use that Kodiak for all that sort of stuff WILF, at a guess it does 500-1000 miles a year just general shoot work (the bulk of work is done with a Polaris Ranger). It's towing something more often than not, be that a trailer full of wheat or set of quad disks/roller. I'm not pretending to be an expert on them and Dan certainly puts quad after quad through it's paces, just speaking for the experience I have with that Kodiak. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mooching Celt 658 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Had a look at a few when i was looking to buy including can-am, nice looking quad with good features but it seems they have a common problem of the chassis breaking in the middle needing bracing and welding up, The one i was looking at was cheap as it had this problem and the way theu found out it had happens was the quad kept cutting out when it hit a bump due to the throttle body coming away. They had another one in stock which had already been repaired Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lucky 578 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I have a honda big red 95 model it starts first touch of the button even when left out in freezing temperatures and still drives like brand new, doubt I could say the same about any other makes after 20 years of graft.

fox digger 1,086 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 As has been said honda foreman 450 model, they later changed to 420's, are also a super quad but not as gutsy and rugged as the older 450's. I buy and sell a few and have kept my own 450 the past 6 or 7 years, 02 electric shift, selectable two or four wheel drive, they are a leader in there class by a long way and exceptional value for money and to hold there money, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
