What are the thoughts on this machine? Are the decent to have. Or would a ranger be a better choice?

Just normal stuff trapping and hunting. No racing or jumping or crazy stuff like that.

Should be pretty tough machine. I believe the Belt drive system is similar to the Grizzly atv. The clutch system are pretty tough and you can upgrade them also.

We use one for ranch work, and drive it like we stole it.

Tough machine.

Boss drove it over a lick tub at about 30 mph this spring. Darn near rolled it to no ill effect.

My only gripe is i wish it had a park gear. The parking brake doesn’t hold as well as it once did especially on inclines.

If I could find a decent used one for my own use I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one.
