Thread: Farm bike vs quad

Quads are safe as provided you understand the limitations, basically just off camber turns or riding steep sideways terrain.
Provided you don't over load the thing it's seldom an issue.

I'd prefer a quad for two reasons;
1, better load carrying ability and can attach rifle mounts and the like easily
2, less physical effort involved
In my opinion if a track is getting gnarly enough to be worried about a quad, a 2 wheeler is going to be a nightmare if it gets muddy and slippery.

I wouldn't even consider a side by side, they're expensive to buy, expensive to get serviced, heavier and bigger to transport around, and you can't man handle them at all, I'd personally prefer a small Suzuki or similar little 4x4.
I can see there are some benefits for them of farms and such, but not so much for a hunting/bush bike.
