I'm trying to decide which used quad to buy for work on the hill, & wondered what those who have used the different ones in the real world think of the different models.
There seem to be numerous models & variants - the choice is too wide without help!
I think I want a 4x4 with a minimum of 300cc engine, & am thinking of spending up to £2500 absolute max.
Advice on auto / manual / suspension type / engine capacity etc would be much appreciated.
Obviously the big four names are:-
Honda (Foreman, Fourtrax, Rincon, Big Red)
Yamaha (Bruin, Big Bear, Grizzly).
Suzuki (King Quad, Eiger, Arctic Cat)
Kawasaki (KLF & KVF)
Can Am & Polaris also as contenders. Should I totally discount the the likes of Farr , TGB etc?
How do you rate them - I know many folks will say Honda is best (like motor bikes) - that was the case in the past I think, but now have the others caught up?
Which do you like, which is most reliable & are are there any models to avoid - & if so why?
I'll want it to be Agri registered for occasional road use (say 1Km max) so any comments re - road ride attributes will be welcomed too.
