Limited use...we have one in our camp and he doesn't have access to 3/4 of our hunting area. But it does come in handy at times .

I've got a 1990 honda 350. Bought it off an old boss once he replaced it with a Canam 850 XMR, (he now has the 850 and a 1000cc). He still tells me every hunting season about how he misses the honda and how it was the best quad he ever had.

I agree. I have an 86 350 Fourtrax. Full time 4x4, shaft drive, tons of power and very hard to get stuck. A real workhorse and built to last. Not too big at all, I can pick up and move either end or tip it on it's side. Quite maneuverable in the bush too. No automatic, no power steering and I couldn't care less. I have absolutely no desire to upgrade, it's a great bush machine and has all the power I need for working around the property. I did put a winch on it but the only time it was used was to help haul out a bigger machine that got stuck.

Cheers

Looking at atvs for hunting and riding trails this will be used for moose and deer what features should I be looking at , I figure 4x4 is a must anything else engine size etc . Thanks

I own and swear by Yamaha 450 4x4 with Power Steering and dif Lock and Winch. They can take a beating and survive what I and one of my buddies can throw at it.

have been using Suzuki king quad300 for years. Great machine-wish they still made them. Their new 400 does not have diff lock
Diff lock very helpful but not critical if you have a winch-much easier to use diff lock than winch
Consider putting hitch receiver on both ends and have a moveable winch
My preference is a manual transmission
I would only go Suzuki Honda Yamaha
500 is plenty

I have a 2007 Honda 350 TRX with the exact same powertrain that I wouldn't part with,either. The damn thing is bullet proof.

I have a 1999 Yamaha Big Bear 350. Full time 4wd, no belt, 5 speed, skid plates front to back with ITP midlite tires. I won’t even begin to tell you what that bike has dragged out of the bush. Thing is bullet proof and basically a mini logskidder.

I love my 1998 KingQuad 300. I have hauled a lot of animals out of the Bush with that quad. Super low range and diff lok that bike will pull anything as long as it gets traction.

I only have 1200km on mine but they are hard kms lol.

If they made a 500cc EFI with same transmission I'd buy one in a second.

Well, for me, skip the auto trans, skip the diff lock, skip the eps, 500cc's is plenty, a winch is needed, no lift kits or over sized tires, when the factory tires wear, put the same size on but with a bit more aggressive tread and more plys, you'll be good to go....
