Hope it helps.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I guess the ~300 carbuearated models require premium gas, whereas I doubt the larger EFIs do. But the smaller cc should improve fuel mileage.

None of these hondas require premium gas that I know of. Our fuel injected hondas are 420cc. All 2wd . I love 2 wd 4 wheelers.

Thanks. I'm headed to the dealer in the morning. We don't have as many dealers as we used to, so a little more travel is required.

When I purchased my Arctic Cat 375, I got an additional discount for farm use. I think it was $4250 out the door.

Check out the Textron Arctic Cat prowler. Looks well built and the engine is very quiet. Textron has been making recreation vehicles for a long time so hopefully the bugs have been figured out.

I have to give a shout out to the dealership, D&D Farm Supply, in Arcadia, for being excellent to deal with.

I went with the '21 model for $4,700.

I couldn't find a used machine that I felt comfortable with.

1 odd thing I noticed is the ground clearance is advertised (by Cat) as 8 1/4, but I measured it at home & learned it is 6 2/3

Now I have to find some accessories. I'm leaning towards looking at Dennis Kirk. I suppose you guys like that place

I've bought plenty of snobil accessories over the years, but never shopped for atv accessories.
