I said I would not get one till I sold every horse on the place and quit horsing around . I lied to me . Swapped a 22 dispatch pistol for a 1985 Suzuki King Quad 300 . It runs well but I need to learn more on the left side brake lever without tearing things apart for now .If you have one of these PM me .At 76 years I can warm up to the predicitability of these compared to the snuffy 6 yrs old horse that fat with fresh grass ,it is a good friends horse that I owe a favor to and trying to settle it down with 2 or 3 rides a week (not enough ).I am falling in love with this iron pony compared to the Paint !!

I had a horse that was buddy.Sour... And I thought that horse in circles train to settle it down because it wanted to go back home. I took it 3 miles down the road and tied it up in some shade
To a fence post on the edge of the woods then I tried scouting for deer
Made me so nervous the horse never shut up the whole time.And I could hear it's partner and crime. Most of the way down, I could hear the 2 horses talking, and I said, my 4 Wheeler never treated me this way. So I got rid of the horses and got a newer. Twenty twenty two can am five seventy love it

If you get butt on a 4 wheeler its becuse you messed up not due to geting on the back of a large prey animal with mind of its own. You dont have to feed and water a at unless your using it. Either. The view is better and noise of hoof I prefer over a motor noise though.

I did not graduate from an oat burner to an ATV. And it took me a long time to get one, but I was still younger than the OP. And now that I have one, I can not imagine being without one ever again. An ATV and a side by side are both very useful tools.

I I remember correct the left side brake lever has a cable, goes to a splitter and to rear brake. So that lever and the foot lever work the rear brakes. The hand lever should have a small lever on it to lock it for a parking brake.
