RE: What brand ATV recommended for food plots?
I' m suprised that no one has chimed in with what is the usual answer when this question is asked, and what I consider the best advice.
An ATV is not a tractor, it will not do what a tractor will do, they' re designed for different purposes. The toy ATV implements are marginal at best and put a lot of stress on your expensive ATV. Trying to plant decent food plots with an ATV and the little discs that they pull is an exercise in frustration, they' re not big enough for the job. Buy yourself a decent used tractor, which can be found for $3000 with a disc if you look hard. Use the remaining money to buy a 350 size ATV which will get you around the woods just as well as a larger one costing $2000 more. Now you' ll have the best of both worlds, a tractor for heavy work and an ATV for getting into the tight spots. Both will be suited for the jobs they' re supposed to do and you won' t have to worry about trashing your $7000 ATV by trying to make it into a tractor. Plus, you' ll have properly prepared food plots to boot.
