Bombardier is making them forjohn deer, and i never did like the bombardier desighns.They come whith the fan in the back of the atv and the wheels pick up mud and throw it right into the fan.

JMO. . .but. . . .I have been real happy with the JohnDeer products I have to date. I picked up a 4X6 Gator Diesel, I use it on the land I hunt in Texas and at the local baseball fields to help run things. I will load it with 15 bags of corns and a few kids and drive anywhere I want on the ranch no problems. Have pulled 5000lb trailers with it. Have used it to pull my truck and ATV trailer out of the mud. I also own John deer riding mover and they are better built than anything else I have seen to date. We use a Polaris at the ball fields and after only one year it is falling apart. Yep you do pay more but if you want a tough maintainable product it is well worth it.

Oh my thats a pretty bold statement. Not to up to date on their smaller equipment but as for farm equipment they have quite a good reputation here. They are by far the leaders in the industry. We own Jd tractors, baler, combine, hoe drill, and mower conditioner. No complaints about any of the equipment. I say go green or go home.

John deer does not make their ATV's they contracted it out. As soon as a company with quality starts contracting out that quality is lost. I would not own a bombardier so why buy one that they painted green and through the name John Deer on it.

30-06 lover...that's not a true statement. At least with the new Bombardiers. I have a Bombardier Quest 650 4x4 and the fan is enclosed...No mud at all. It's the best quad I have ever owned by far, and I got my first in 1982.


And no, I don't work for them, but Bombardier makes quality stuff. Hell, they've been making Sea-doo boats/jet skis and Ski-Doo sleds for years.

Glad I bought mine before the green paint went on, though...The price went up too. LOL

I don't know about the JD ATV's. Saying JD stuff is junk I'll have to disagree.I have a older JD Model 650 which is a small farm tractor w/4' bush hog. It's been a great little tractor.I did need to replace a few parts over the years and they are very expensive. A voltage regulator was right at 90.00.Hydraulic control valve many years ago was 350.00 if I remember correctly. I thought the JD ATV'S were Artic Cats.Learn something new everyday,
