Hey Quadcrazy,

Well I am new to the atv world, I have been using one of my buddies four wheeler for about 6 months, it is an old one that he never uses. I really enjoy going with my buddies and I am wanting to upgrade to something a little better and newer, I ride a 1970 something Yamaha two wheel drive 250, but I am wanting something for this winter that will rip through the snow and during the rest of the year trail ride.

I am not wanting to spend a lot of money, I am just wondering where I should start looking and for what.

Thanks

Welcome to the site, I take it that you would want a 4x4 over a sport. I would highly recommend a Brute Force of a Grizzly. There are plenty of guys on here with those machines that rave about them. I myself am a sport guy. WWW.Craigslist.com would be a good place to start looking for something used.

Alright thank you. Ya I am not sure if I want a sport or utility.

It doesn't say what state you are in, but what does everyone else there ride? I ride my Raptor year around with some serious snow, but your buddies my prefer utilities instead. let us know!

thedn you have a wide range to choose from.....do you like to go fast or plow thru deep snow/mud,etc.

I guess both lol, but I do a lot of mudding. So I am guessing I would want a utility atv but I really do not want to spend a lot of money.

What do you consider a lot of money. What is your budget. The machines like the Grizzly and the Brute Force are a work horse, they will power through just about anything and they still have a top speed near 70mph. The sport quads, like what I ride. don't do well in mud. We only have about 4" of ground clearance. The 4x4s have I think about 10".

      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.

      Winch ATV in to Truck Bed
      By Panupong Pradchaphet
      I have a Sportsman 450 HO and almost killed my self when loading it on my truck with ramps.  It rolled off the top of the ramps and tailgate and nearly landed on me.  I now want to winch the ATV in to the truck.  My question is are the front side bed tiedowns in my 2011 RAM strong enough to winch to without distorting the hooks or sides of the bed?
