Thought some you Honda fellers might want to see the work horse.
Good topics by the way everyone!
Looks pretty close up there on the scales between the Yahmeees And Hondas. i really did not have a favorite when i purchased,but all mentioned above seem to be good picks. Hey look at them thar Bombs, glad i did'nt have that choice... And yep that dang thing does not like it when its cold, gotta hold up on the choke button for a while before she wants
to get.

very clean ride you got there.

cubbieman · 01-23-2008, 01:43 AM

I voted Honda, for the reliability.

bombardier blows, after dealing with a ski-doo snowmachine (they're made by the same company) i'll never own anything made by that company, and judging from the votes no one else here will either

Tommy, I like your John Deere. Happy belated birthday!

Earl Easter · 01-23-2008, 07:53 AM

Magnumsrule · 01-25-2008, 10:52 PM

I guess i could have added john deere quads now i think about it. Anyone have one of em?

tommy · 01-25-2008, 11:07 PM

yep i turned 39 earl. lol yea the gator gets me through alot of stuff that i couldn't really get through if i had to walk. i got her set up with everything from a firetruck siren to a toyota alternator and a extra battery with cd palyer.runnin lights rear flood lights.the winch is removeable so i can pin it to the front or back it has the quick connects on it. i put in a overhead light that lights up everything within 10' around the gatotr at night. i got a power inverter fo a/c power when i need it.waterproof 3way 6x9 westmarine speakers.and a waterproof cover for the stereo.lol the second picture is a bumper we just got done. my buddy is just about to finish up on the second one . i do the design and measuring and he puts it together for me.plus my oldest son helps too.

Thats a good picture! Hey tommy... whats that i see on the dang gone seat, is that little guy waiting for a tune or is he just waiting to go for a spin? You could play him some areosmith and i bet he would still want the ride. And i laugh also ever birthday, can't believe i made it this long, sure is a great place. My brother lost it at age 40 so don't be doing the same thing. It really bothered him,took him a few months to recoop.
He is 50 now and that, he can accept no matter how much he gets raszzzzzed.
Thanks for the pixs tommy. Always hep to see new ideas also

Yeh magnum. Where the heck are the JD's.
Just kidding.... You did a excellent job with this one.....Geewillys hope tommy do'nt mind. He has a pretty darn nice one there. Did ya check out the detachable winch. Boy i could use one of them guys. Thanks for the thread

Thunder-223 · 01-26-2008, 11:21 PM

Momoney567 · 01-27-2008, 09:39 AM

I'm in opelousas if you know where that is its maybe 20 miles from lafayette.

rasterman77 · 01-28-2008, 07:55 PM

Yamaha Grizzly 700.. power steering and power-power.. whew!
Most of my friends here ride the Honda foreman or Rubicon.. great bikes but the Grizzly makes them look silly.

squirrelbaster · 01-28-2008, 09:05 PM

yamaha grizly 660 here, well its my dad's actualy but i use itmore than him.

Dustdevil · 01-30-2008, 10:27 AM

So far, Yamaha appears to be my choice. I first thought about a quad, but the Rhino has significant advantages, even here in Ca where OHV use is under constant attack. The photo is of my son and myself out for spring turkey last year. Our spot was 8-1/2 miles from camp, so walking was out of the question. We could have taken the pickup, but the roads were rough enough I'd rather not have a bucket of loose bolts when finished. So, the Rhino is the ticket.

Magnumsrule · 01-30-2008, 10:29 AM

That is a sweet Gator you got there. I was more talking about the new John Deere quads. Like this. I just dont like the way the Hondas ride. They are more like a plank than a seat! Plus the forman that my uncle has is too slow. I can outride it with my grandpas yamaha kodiac any day. Not that that maters in the long term but i like being able to go. AHHHHHH there faces there faces! JK JK

slaughterhouse · 01-30-2008, 11:49 PM

07 Kawasaki 650 brute force doesn't anyone go big anymore. Heard about the big bear 400s like to own one sometime Maybe when I hit the lottery.YEAH Right. my luck ain't that good.

tommy · 01-31-2008, 09:27 AM

john deere was selling them but stopped now if you still want one you have to get a arctic cat i'm allmost certain that was the ones that deere had a joint deal with to make them for. they even had the ones with the minni dump bed on them too.
