Zooki love thread....

While it's not Escud related, can you get hold of one of the little zook 4x4 farm trucks? They aren't road legal as no ABS or airbags which means they can't meet minimum crash star ratings now - but I've been really impressed with them cost vs ability, and added bonus you can get the parts at Supercheap and Repco. Way cheaper than ATV parts pricing, I've been quite shocked at what the dealers think are fair prices for basic service parts. The farm trucks whatever Suzuki calls them now are more economical, comfortable, quieter and just as much ability in terms of going places.

Good idea. Will have a look. I have enough road legal trucks, just need a reliable warm light 4x4 for around the farm. Bloody Honda 420 has been pretty fantastic in the 10 years we have had it, but its blowing one of the main fuses and buggered if I can diagnose whats fucked. But around the farm even the Pootrol is more economical than that bloody quad: 12L for 55kms every time. AND its fuel injected!!!

Edit. Just been on retardme and Jeeeeezus they want some coin for those suzuki farm trucks! Will keep looking at the 5-6K Escudos as they come up.

What year is it? We bought a brand new one in 2017 (I think..) and it was a complete lemon kept on blowing fuse for the fuel pump and stranding us. In the end it was something to do with the wiring on that year model running close to the exhaust somewhere and melting as it happened to quite a few of them.

Its an 09. And its main fuse#2 that blows all the time.

Honda technician said it can be really hard to diagnose.
Said use a paperclip to short the fuse and quickly look for the smoke, then pull the paperclip out.

But the quad doesn't own us anything really, given the thrashing its been subjected to for 10 straight years and have had to replace bugger all. One set of tyres, no brake pads, and some plastic welding. But I cringe every time I see my wife racing over hill and down dale on the thing attempting to round up a stroppy cow. I'm more than happy to use the two wheeler, but limiting her to either the horse or a zook ute will suit me fine. She may live a bit longer that way

That's a thing, my wife is a maniac on the 4 wheeler as well. Saw her come past the shed the other day in top cog with both sprogs hanging on white knuckled, for context it's a roughly square 1 acre block and the shed is basically in the mid point on one fence!
