Any you lads who have quad setups what is best, and what is to be avoided ? 

[chesney 5,326]

Ya hardly that lazy sionnach ya need a quad ha

By f**k I am chesney ah no to be fair having used one a little this year with hounds they’re a great job to get in and out quickly beside lugging tools and dogs in maybe three or four fields on my own a lot of the time. Easy keep in with them too besides getting stuck in lane ways by followers and having to wait for some to turn or reverse out and bolloxing. I’ll be using it for other stuff too other than hunting so might aswell get a decent one as a bad one

Depends how rough you are on them. Who’s the closest dealer. Second hand or new? 

[sionnach99 1,159]

New or a fairly fresh second hand. I like the idea of the independent suspension on back of the Yamaha’s have been on both and it’s not as tough over rough ground, a lot of the Honda don’t have it I think?? Heard Honda auto boxs troublesome too, would prefer auto I reckon

Honda do an irs. Got an auto 420 Honda at work been good few year old now. We had a Yamaha found it drank a lot of petrol. See a lot are using can-am now awaydays. I was looking at new quad for next season but waiting to see what bhsa say about quads on hunt days first.

Is the back wheel made from stone or what way is it looking?

[Chevy Chase 44]

I’ve had couple of hondas and they’ve been faultless, the front racks have had to be welded with the weight of boxes on the front. I’d avoid a can am they fall to bits, take a look at what farmers use 9 times out of 10 it’s a Honda and they live on them and give them a rough life.

Thanks for reply, true I see most farmers using the hondas , they can’t be a bad yoke

You won't beat a grizzly the racks are rated to carry more weight than any of the others.

The Honda couldn't hack it on our rough ground and the frames always snap.

What’s difference between grizzly and Kodiak do you know ?

[Moorman 1 1,322]

Kodiak is slightly smaller/lower to the ground regarding the seat height.

Grizzly 450 is a great bike with diff lock and IRS… you can sit on them all day as regards to comfort

 

the pic is my own 350 but I’ve had the 450 where I work 

 

[old school 476]

I won this bike in a raffle a couple of years ago now and I wish it was as good as the grizzly…

 

the back cage is great for the lurchers
