Since i made the post i did buy one in november 07, i must say i have great time with my buggy hunting in the swamps of south carolina. i have driven up on Hogs,Coyotes,Turkey and other game to within a good range that i could do a stalk. there have been times i have driven to my stand and got to within 50 yards of the stand and had hogs at the stand and gotten out and put pork in the fridge. It has taken me places with ATV's that i was surprised it went and i mean mud covered floor boards and busting brush and never failed me . MY rep for BBB says i push it to the limit here and i do . i belive if a product cant do what its made for i dont need it in the woods. i love my buggy and i think my wife is going to take it for yard work and gardening and im buying the new one they came out with. that being said-------
there are areas that i belive the buggy is bnot made for like the high mountains of montan were you may drive 30 miles ina day or the vast open plains in the dakotas scanning and stalking and that is only because it is a battery power vehicle and the more you challenge it in climbing and ruff areas the more juice you use. dont take me wrong i have spent hours on my hunting property and driven a lot of range and done fine. but i also know to climb a montain with it covering over 20 miles your taking a chance.
if i was in montan or the dakotas maybe i would use something else but for a flatland with small roling hills my buggy does great.
