Just trying to get some opinions on some atv's.I'm getting closer to pulling the trigger one one.I have it down to a grizzly 700 and a brute force,some of the smaller honda's (500)don't seem too bad..Anyone have power steering on one?and is it worth the extra money?I'm hoping to get into foodplots soon.Gonna make a trip down to Washington,IN to look at some.

Yamaha rules, My '00 400 kodiak has been bulletproof. Them polaris' like belts, electrical problems, and over heatin from what I've seen. That's just an opinion though lol!

I've been riding Marks Polaris for several years now and it's a work horse. There are times when we've had a 200 pound deer, him, myself, and our gear on it and it still goes through anything. I've not heard Mark say a word about having to have it worked on either.

My family has allways had Hondas and haven't had any problems. I think that the Polaris has more ground clearance which could be handy. Good luck there are alot of choices these days.

I have a few buddys that have these and they are great machines. This is the one I use to plow my driveway with in the winter works great

Not much help here... I hope to own one sometime in the future but it is a no go right now, so I never really researched them.

You all would laugh at my ole antique,1989 Honda Fourtrax 300 but it still looks new,best 4wheeler I have ever owned,gets through the woods easy,Now I have a few buddies that have Polaris and they say it is very exspensive to have them worked on,don't know just what they told me.Good luck finding one Darin you will really appreciate it when you get.

We have been looking to get a electric golf cart and fix it up like a badboy ourselves you can do that for about $3500 or less just depends on how extreme you want to go. Been looking at doing this cause the deer have figured out what the 4wheeler sound means.

I looked at some new polaris's.There was a couple things I didn't like.one was the racks on the new ones looked weak,and the gear shifter.They are still a nice machine.I'm just getting too old to be dragging deer out of the hollers anymore plus my back isn't what it used to be.I would also like to get a snow plow for it,could have used one this year a few times.Looking forward to getting together with some friends and doing some riding.I hear red bird and the bad lands is a great place to go riding.

I've had my Kodiak 400 for 15 years now. I've beat that thing like crazy plowing snow and running the mountains. Besides maintainance parts, put a universal and a rear hub on it and that's bout it. As for being the BEST.......don't know about that.

I've had to fix some electrical issues on them Polaris rides. They daisy chain the ground all over them things. I remember the one time the ground for the headlight broke and it wouldn't go into 4wd.
