why do you like these over the others thanks for the reply jim Title: Re: Big ATV ? Which one ? Post by: svtbolt04 on July 07, 2005, 01:23:40 PM Brutes are good bikes, for their power. But if you ever open up their seats..Many-a-problems could go wrong with all the electrical.. I hear their belts arn't the best of the group.. I like my grizzly for what I used it for. BTW mine is forsale for 4000 in the forsale section...its a 02.

Post by: jwscroll on July 09, 2005, 07:49:34 AM If your using it for farm work I'd check to see how many attachments you can put on each, and which drive will better suit your needs. I don't own a belt drive so I wouldn't know the pro's and con's of direct versus belt.

BTW You can pull a mower with it, but it would have to be one without a PTO because no bikes have the PTO hookup that I know of. Also, I dont know if snow is a problem for you, but you can get plows for just about any bike. Title: Re: Big ATV ? Which one ? Post by: jwscroll on July 09, 2005, 09:33:29 PM All the mowers I've seen for quads have a motor attached to the deck for running the blades. If I did more open feilds I would consider getting one, but thats all they're really good for.
Title: Re: Big ATV ? Which one ? Post by: svtbolt04 on July 09, 2005, 10:43:42 PM Yes, the ones you are looking at you just start, walk back to your quad make sure its hooked up to the hitch, and pull away..
Title: Re: Big ATV ? Which one ? Post by: singleshot on July 09, 2005, 10:50:45 PM I have a 650 Prarie and a swisher rough cut mower that I use to cut 40 acres of property I own once a year. I have pines planted on it and mow in between the rows of trees. It will cut anything up to about 1 1/2 in thick. If you can run over it with the quad it will cut it. If you will be cutting grass, get the mower designed more for grass. This one is designed for mulching up brush and gets boged down some on long thick grass.
Over-all I am very happy with my setup. I used to pay a guy $400 each year to bush hog and now I can do it myself. Title: Re: Big ATV ? Which one ? Post by: jwm9289 on July 10, 2005, 08:30:54 AM thanks guys for the info.
i just bought a swisher 60" cut with a kohler motor. jim Title: Re: Big ATV ? Which one ? Post by: yunt2ride on July 11, 2005, 12:30:13 PM check out the kawasaki, polaris and artic cats also.
