OT: Buying an ATV

Posted by Dave Horvath [71.61.218.140] on Saturday, December 26, 2009 at 08:47:53 :

I plan on buying an ATV to use on the farm. Mostly for plowing my parent's steep gravel driveway and repairing fence in steep wooded sections of the farm. I know I want FI, 4WD and locking differential. Unfortunately, nothing is made in the US. I have narrowed it down to a Yamaha Grizzly 700 or Arctic Cat 700 TBX or Super Duty Deisel. The Grizzly has electronic power steering. The TBX has a dump-box instead of rear rack. I need to test drive the deisel to check out the noise factor. I'm leaning towards the Grizzly for the EPS.

Have any of you guys got direct experience with these makes and models?
