Plan is to pay everything off in a few years. But I've been working my butt off and I'm thinking about some family time. Seems we all enjoy riding and I can probably swing buying another used quad and a used side by side. So I'll likely just start putting the bug out and start lightly looking around until I find some things that I can't pass up. I'm and older honda fan for quads. Foot shifter kind of guy. Side by side would need to be a 4 seater. I don't know much about these because I've never considered it. I'm considering selling the camper because the kids just don't want to go anymore. Then do this.

What do you have?

What would you change?

What is a must have?

What to stay away from?

What would you buy if buying today?

Used/new?

Talk to me Smalls.

Following. We're on a trajectory for this to happen in the spring. I'm looking for a Honda Pioneer 1000. We'll use the hell out of it and it'll be a memory-maker, so we're excited about it.

I have a Polaris sportsman. Before that I had a Suzuki king quad. Also had a Razor side by side but if you’re using it for hunting, I’d steer clear because they have a WIDE turning radius which sucks in the woods, especially steep hillsides. I got rid of mine for that reason. The quads maneuver much better in the woods. If you’re going to be hunting mostly fields or just taking joy rides with the family on established trails, then I’d consider a side by side.

I have a quad for hunting already. This would be for around the house and some trail riding. Golf cart was really handy. Probably shouldn't have let it go, but I made good money on the deal.

So far I really like the pioneer I bought a couple years back. I think it’s the 700. That thing is a tank. I ve had it places I’d be afraid to take the old Foreman. I don’t know if it’s better or worse than any other since it’s the only one I’ve had.
