I have never owned an ATV but have decided to purchase a used one.  I live on 40 acres, cut my own wood to heat my house.  So I would use to pull logs, pull a wagon with cut wood, and general farm use.  Also I plan on plowing snow so that sums up my needs.  I will be looking at a 2003 Yamaha Big Bear 400 4x4 in a couple days.  I need help as to what to look for with this model, maybe things that might be an indication of its condition.  The ad says he just put a new battery in and the odometer doesn't work, it shows 881 miles.  It also comes with a winch and plow and he wants $2100.  Any help would be appreciated...thanks  The pics look to be pretty decent shape.

My advise would be to take a experienced ATV owner with you.Out here,that price would be about 500 too high,especially with a broken odometer.You also would probably be much happier with a Grizzly,or something else with bigger engine.

      Heavy Duty ATV Cover
      By Gwbarm
      Does anyone have a recommendation of a really Heavy Duty ATV cover. I have bought several and they do keep the water off somewhat, but they are very thin and do not contour with the shape very well and water pools up in the rack louvers. I think i may be looking for a heavy canvas one, if anyone has a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated.

      ATV Snow Plow Review, Best ATV & UTV Snow Plows
      By Ajmboy
      So we are almost a month into winter and I've been so busy working on my house that up until today, I didn't realize that we just haven;t gotten any real snow yet to warrant putting the plow on my grizzly. So that got me thinking, what are the latest plows out there and what ATV plows are the best? I've got 2 snow plows for my grizzly, a quadboss pile driver atv plow set up and a snowsport ATV plow. They are both a bit dated now and I tend to stick with the snowsport due to ease of use and I just like it so much. So if you have a plow on your ATV, please let us know what it is and post a picture with your atv/plow would be awesome. Would also like to know what you like and dislike about it.
      This is back a while when I did a write up on these 2 plows.... in 2009 I got the snowsport and in 2012 I got the quadboss.
