Default gettin to the woods

i have been looking for a cheap three wheeler or 4wheeler for a while. today i went and looked at a yamaha 200 3-wheeler that is a 1984 model. i have never personally owned a 3-wheeler but was wandering who still uses um to carry a deer back to camp. and what is the best way you have found to keep it from flipping over besides ' very carefully'
by the way this guy just had back surgury and can pull the rope to start it. was asking 700 but i offered him 350 and a toolbox for the back of his truck and he took it. should i or not?

Click, sounds good to me. They are more the adequate to haul a deer out and stuff in. While they can be " tippy" some little things can help. When cornering slow down, going up slopes keep your speed approriate and let air out of the tires so they don' t bounce off every stump/log or rock(which btw is the most common mistake, people pump them up like a basketball and they do the same thing BOUNCE) Also if you feel her going over BAIL, b/c it probably s going to happen

is it possible to mount a rack on the front and carry the deer up front, to help even the weight? or would this make it more tippy do you think?

Definitely carry deer in the rear rack. Up front they will make it more tippy and very unbalanced. Essentially your balancing the weight on one wheel vs on two wheels in the back. Also consider the fact that those freshly shot deer feel like a sack of jelly. It would be hard to really tie it down so it doesn' t move at all and chances are once you lean in one direction the whole deer will ooze over towards that side and unbalance you even more. Hope it helps
