[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1703547, member: 2736"] Believe it or not, Bigger is not better unless you are working it. What you will find is that for hunting, 350 to 450 is more than enough. Bigger only gives you more speed (Which you realy don't need especially in hilly or mountainous terrain. To much power, and the chance of an accident goes up. I have ridden and owned up to 650 cc machines and found that the first 300 that I owned was the best all round for my needs. We haul deer stands on a trailer behind our 4 wheeler's and the most important feature is a manual transmission. The gearing and control is very important. We have pulled 2500 pounds up 15 to 20% grades and in 4 wheel drive and 1st or 2nd gear and it is no problem for the 400 to 500 cc engines. I wont get into the brand of the 4 wheeler that I prefer, But the requirements for my type of terrain and use are as follows. 4X4 Manual transmissions 400 to 500 cc engine And my prefer'd brand of ATV The only place i have seen a need for more cc's in with the heavy side by sides that carry 4 or more people and are normally used for reasonable terrain and roads. Just my opinion based on my experiences with everything from 90 CC's to 750 CC's. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
