hi all
i am after a bit of advice , i tend to stalk with my father (67)who as a result of the fantastic health service and a bodged back opp can walk a good few miles one day and a few hundred yds the next, he can sit up all day no problems.
to try and make sure he can still come out and enjoy the stalks i am going to get a quad so we limit the walking time to the ground for him on the not so good days , and still come and enjoy the outings, with not being stuck in with my mother all day.
the ground is slight undulating farm land on one side and forestry/hard wood on a long spine of hillside the other . the forestry some of the tracked "paths" are 1 in 3 for about 130m then come nice and flatish .
now to the question what quad i will have a top whack budget of £2000 this will have to inc a trailer to tow it to where i am going. the quad will have to carry me my father and a couple of deer when fully laiden .
are there any makes and models of quads to try and go for ? or stay away from
is low ratio needed
any thing else that you thing could help me
regards.........neil
