Thread: Farm bike vs quad

Had horses, had two wheels, got 4x4 quad. Also done a lot of 4x4 off-roading. Worst injuries were done by a bloody horse that fell over on the hills and rolled over me.

I am loving the quad. Like all things, ride it within its limits and you will stay safe. Know when to park it up and get off and walk. Know when to get off it and walk along side it if need be. Other big problem is that people typically overload their machines. Keep within the manufacturers spec's.
Love them or hate them, I bought a Polaris. Its the 570 Ute. Rated for 180Kg in the tray means that we can go two up and sill fit a boned out animal or two in the back. Great traction system, awesome hill decent control, and the independent rear works better for what I do than a solid axle. Made a frame up for the rear tray that works as a bench seat for two additional riders and it will take two fish bins in the frame for gear/meat, plus there is tray underneath for more gear (what did I just say about overloading )
