LOL....and how much wull THAT set you back?
I bought mine as a former year model (I bought an '05 in January of '06)....and saved almost a grand on it in doing so. I also bought a color (red) and saved v. camo (I was also told it would sell better if I ever sold it.....being a color in lieu of camo).
So....I bought a Suzuki Eiger 400 Automatic 4x4. I don't use it that much (500 mi. in 3 yrs) but it's a great little rig....and all I'll ever need.
Rob/PA has the same model. Plants his food plots with it.....and as far as I know he's never had an issue, either.
You'll spend a LOT less than $8K, also. I wanna say I bought mine for $5,100????
Yep. 400cc's is plenty. Smaller gets around better in the woods too. That Suzuki is nice. Buddy of mine has beaten his to death over the last severl years and it just keeps going. The Yamaha Big Bear 400 is a nice unit too and will do the job for a lot less than 8K.
Maybe even look for a good used one... Often, people buy them then hardly use them. They collect dust in the garage for a couple years then they dump them.
