I just don’t see that making it down South. I like it, but a little too big.

This winter I use a atv checking from home and my two feet at another place. Not much snow here yet. If they call for snow will have to put the tracks on to get around though.

Not a big fan of the side by sides. Lots of places they can't go. I prefer to run lean and mean on a Reg ATV. I'll stick with my Honda foreman.

I tried trapping one once, bent my trap all up.

I ha e 4,500 miles on my Polaris Ranger on rough country down here in Texas. It ain’t sexy, but it is reliable.

Hern, are those whistle pigs ?? I just use my .220 Swift on them

Crows, yote's and Hawks clean up the mess.

I got the same thing. Is that an 08 700? I don’t have all the boxes, but as a cat trapper I don’t need much room. Spot for my bag, milk crate from my drags and cables, and a pile of traps in the bed. With a 1,000lbs payload capacity, it’s more than enough for a trapper.

I use a 23 year old Honda 300 with a couple boxes I have made for front and back. I pull mine with a trailer. This is the first year I have run a 2-3 dozen canine line using a 4-wheeler, so I have a lot to change, modify and improve, but it sure did help me get to places I have not trapped much on my permissions. We have so much land that gets liquid manure and then chisel plowed and then it gets rough to travel on. Not much value trying too much before crops are off with early coons worth nothing and foxes below $10. As I age I can see myself doing more drive up type canine and coon trapping as it is a whole lot easier on the body and with our type of fur there is no real money in any of what we catch at the current time.

I am 71 and have thought about buying a side by side/UTV because after climbing on/off my ATVs during a long day of trap work makes my hips hurt. It is the lifting and throwing your leg over the seat to mount and lifting the leg, pivoting your hips to dismount numerous times each day that seems to work and hurt my hips. It looks like a side by side would be much easier and more comfortable to ride/drive but I am wondering if the side by side/UTVs has the brute pulling power of the geared manual transmission Yamaha 4WD ATVs. I think all of the side by side/UTV transmissions of Honda, Polaris, etc. are driven with a fan belt. I can't believe that would be as strong, durable, and/or as powerful as a geared transmission drive line. The side by side/UTVs are wider, probably heavier and more stable, but they don't look like they have alot of ground clearance which may/would limit its usability where I trap and hunt.

Yes.

Do not know about other brands but Honda ATVs and Side by Sides are NOT belt driven. They are gear driven. My sxs is rated to haul and tow over 1/2 ton. It will pull!

Thanks for telling him. I was gonna, but ya beat me to it.
My 2014 Pioneer still shifts smooth as butter. 3 speed auto.
Driveshafts, no stinkin belts.

I use an old John deere gator 2wd with locking differential. It meets my needs and I prefer it over the 500 Polaris. Easier on and off as well as a rack is no substitute for a bed.

My old Suzuki King Quad 300 is shaft driven, with Hi,Lo,Super Lo and Differential lock. No belts on it either

Looks like a Suzuki Eiger?

Limited usage for me. Last year was my first year running larger area. This year more and for about two weeks. I have a 1997 Honda 300 that works very well for me. I have made two large boxes , one for the front and a larger one for the back. I pull it with my truck and a 5 by 8.5 foot trailer. Allows me to cover more of the acres on the permissions I have.
