Oh yeh, but to catch a mess of 14 inchers, I might come up there and let you be the Captain .Sounds like enough for dinner and then some

When you go to see them in person, if you don't mind can you let us know the difference between that one and the Foreman model. Thanks!Pretty much what you guys are running for firewood round hauling. Tow behind? Trailer? Not sure what you call it.
So 300-400cc would be most appropriate?
Something like this? (Local to me)

Itās gotta be able to travel up 30-40 degree grades and very rough boulder/stumpy/muddy/soft ground.
Hell, Iāll go pick it up this week if you guys vouch for it!

Was looking at some Polarisās going for upper $17k yesterday. Like wut??!My 570 Polaris is not as nimble as a lot of the smaller ATVs, but it does a good job as a "workhorse" pulling logs or hauling rounds out of the woods.
My upstate property is not level, so I usually try to find stuff at close to the same level as the cabin, or uphill, so I don't overwork it.
The optional engine braking is an invaluable asset, I would not order one w/o it. There are also a few times I wish I ordered power steering, but I make do w/o it. I was really trying to keep the cost down when I got it.
We used to run all Honda's, then as they piled on more electronics the Hondas became less and less reliable. I finally switched to Yamaha and I'm NOT going back! The Yamahas are more reliable, have a better clutch/belt drive and have been more reliable.I have a Yamaha 400 Grizzly been a great little quad think it's an 04
Yea I miss the bare bones type models. They are basically pricing the average Joe out of owning stuff other than used models.We used to run all Honda's, then as they piled on more electronics the Hondas became less and less reliable. I finally switched to Yamaha and I'm NOT going back! The Yamahas are more reliable, have a better clutch/belt drive and have been more reliable.
When it comes to reliability, Polaris doesn't even come close to Honda or Yamaha, you won't see any more of those on my place for sure, as I put reliability as number one!
Same with sno-machines, Yamaha has been the most reliable.

So other than those already mentioned what works best on soft or muddy ground while pulling loads?Wheelersā¦aka wheelies, ATVās, quads, four wheelers, or whatever you guys call them.
I miss my old Honda 300 4x4. That was so nimble and could stay on top of muck and snow crust. The new wheelers have way more power but are heavy and nowhere near as ālight on their feetā as the older ones and bog down quickly in soft terrain unless you have oversized tires.
A couple years back the ex and I bought a Polaris 850 and 570. She insisted on taking the 570 in the divorce. Other than my son rolling it over once and causing 5k in damage it just sits in her yard. I bought a 450 HO to replace it. I liked the 570 much better especially because of the power steering.
Fast forward, I just bought a new 570 EPS on Friday. Same wheeler as hers but red instead of tan (I really like this color) so weāre up to three wheelers again.
My 850 is incredibly powerful so I canāt even imagine what the 1000 would feel like (and for my uses the extra power and 6k increase in cost isnāt needed).
Hereās the baby. Itās getting a winch, heated grips, and a windshield before coming home.

We only have propane for the water heater and a gas fireplace . Since we use so little they gouge us on the price . We paid 3.69 per gallon in November been looking into an on demand 240v unitPropane in my area jumped from 2.05ā¹ to 2.29ā¹ a gallon they say it usually goes up the farther we go into winter
Wider tires with heavier tread on the ATV, and also make sure that your trailer has flotation tires. A lot of trailers have a little tiny pizza cutter tires that bog down in anything soft.So other than those already mentioned what works best on soft or muddy ground while pulling loads?
2 stroke and bar oil ?I know we're all a frugal bunch here. Just saw this. 99 cents a gallon,German quality, mix AND bar oil.
