$7500 straight out to buy ATV 4x4...Which One!

[jlongsc]

I have been researching, riding, and thinking for a while. I'm buying brand new, going to get a few dealer extras, and a good ol warranty...My questions is the Polaris 800 could fit that price range...but the Brute Force 750 is out of that range! Any other machines pretty close to these sizes and features that I should be taking time to look into. I've had an old Honda Foreman 500..its been great and still runs but too small, and not strong enough for a few jobs around the farm...Any ideas? Or thoughts? Thanks!

Only thing you'd catch me on other than a Honda Forman 500 (best four wheeler ever made in my opinion) is a Yamaha Grizzly 700. I'd only go there if I lived somewhere that my life didn't depend on the machine getting me back home. That's why when I moved to Alaska, where I knew there would be no dealer for service, and no recovery company to come get me when it broke, I bought a brand new Foreman 500. It was the biggest machine I could get that still had an emergency pull starter and the dependability to take me home each time. I can't imagine that you could possibly have any chore that it wouldn't handle that any other four wheeler could! If the Foreman won't handle it then you should be using a truck anyway!!

I like my rancher over the foreman. More hp on a smaller frame.

If you need bigger I would go to a UTV.

I have been really happy with my Rancher......I have never wished it was bigger.

I would either buy the Rancher, put some nice tires and rims on it, install a winch and pocket a grand or look at UTV's.

Rancher, Foreman or a UTV

My FIL had a Foreman 500, the power that thing had was crazy until we got a 620 Gator (that's like having a small 4wd truck but now I want one of the diesels).

If you don't buy Honda you will regret it.

[SCSwitchback]

Does anyone other than Honda make an atv?

[cusportsman]

Honda.

[jlongsc]

How about the Honda Rincon 680?

[carolinaboy06]

A Honda will be the only 4 wheeler I will ever own.

[carolinaboy06]

Had a recon since 1998 and that thing won't die.

Rode one from 87 a few weeks back and it ran great.

I got a rancher 350 and love it. 2wd but can go almost anywhere my 4wd buddies can, but a few scenarios just need the two wheels. The 2wd is light though. Get the rancher with the 2wd/4wd option, and if you can't get it done with that, you don't need a four wheeler, you need a trackhoe or a racecar

Buy a polaris, your ass will thank you later.

If you hunt alot, save you a couple grand more and go buy a new polaris big boss 6x6. I've been on everything, thats the baddest and most usful machine ever made.

We got one of the big boss 6x6's when they came out with all shaft driven axles. It is a bad bitch, would run 58mph down the highway which was way to fast. It was as close to 6x6 Ranger as you are going to get, they are the best machine on the market hands down. A gator won't handle a candle to them.

Yep but its not a job to drive like a ranger, you can go alot more places and can have fun on them. Not to mention you put a set of mudlights all the way around and there is not a thing out there that will follow you. I looked for a used one the past year and a half, hard, never could find one so i had to wait 2 months on a new one. Becuase no one gets rid of them.
