[QUOTE="500mag_guy, post: 816352, member: 34924"] i started out with brand new 2004 Arctic Cat 400. it got me to where i was going but in deep snow it was a little more of a work out to get there. great machine but a little on the heavy side. it also seemed top heavy but stable enough on side hills. great engine break little bit of a rough ride though. cold starts were a challenge. sold it with 2500 miles on it. next i bought new 2006 Yamaha Grizzly 660. this was an amazing machine. lots of power off the line and low end power would blow my mind. great ride and awesome stability. this machine could go anywhere. push button front differential lock was very nice. great engine break. cold starts were very easy for being a carb engine. sold it with 4600 miles on it. next was a used 2008 Suzuki King quad 750 with under 500 miles. ride was nice but not quite as good as the grizzly stability was better then the arctic cat but still shy of the yamaha. great engine break. best gas mileage out of all the machines buy far!! fuel injection made cold starts easier. sold it with 4000 miles on it. next was a used 2008 Kawasaki Brute force 750efi with under 300 miles. this machine seemed very bulky.. ride was very nice power was great and stability was not a problem i didnt like the front differential locking system though. amazing engine break. it also got around well but again a little bulky for my liking also a little on the heavy side for gettting unstuck. sold it with 3700 miles on it. next was a new 2011 Can-Am outlander 800.
