I realize that this may be a little off the topic for the firewood forum, but this is the section I visit the most on this site. The vehicle will also be used in gathering/transporting firewood so I think that qualifies. Let me start by saying that I have never owned an ATV before, and I do not know much about them. I have just started the research process for this purchase, and I wanted to get the opinions of some of the members here on them. The advise I have received on this forum has never let me down in the past. I am not set on a brand or model at this time (there sure are a lot of options to choose from,) and I have some leeway with the overall cost. As previously stated the ATV will be used to gather and transport firewood, as well as recreational riding. I would imagine that four wheel drive and a winch would be a must have.
My questions would be;
1. Are there any specific models or brands to stay away from?
2. New vs. used (at this time I am leaning toward new) ?
3. Are there any specific models or brands that you would recommend?
4. What size engine?
5. Any must have options.
I have learned enough so far to realize that like anything else, some people have a fierce alliance to specific brands (think Ford/Chevy or Husky/Stihl.) with that being said, I'm not trying to open up that type of debate, rather just seeking real world opinions and experiences.
Thank you in advance for your time and replies.
