I am on my second big bear 350. The first one served me well for 15 years of hard hunting ( dragging moose, deer and bear out of the bush) and 2 of my hunting partners also run 350 big bears. We also use them to skid timbers out when cutting firewood. My only concern with the bruin would be the automatic (belt) transmission. At my camp the only failures we ever get are from belt drives that suck in water and mud. If you don't go through much water and mud the bruin will likely drag or carry anything you dare to kill on this continent!
