Used ATV preferences

Peanut, 1995 400trx honda.  Runs like a champ. Gave it to son. He plows snow with it. I have a 2013 foreman 500 efi that's also been bullet proof. So  Hondas for me

Anything Honda. Those motors are bullet proof. I have a couple ranchers and a couple of the old 1986 Honda TRX 350 4x4. I have a Honda pioneer 700 and they all run great with no major problems. Maintenance of regular oil changes and a clean air filter go a long way. Good luck with your search.

I have a 2004 Suzuki Eiger 400, that is have owned since 2004. It works good for icefishing. I haven't had any major problems. It is kept outside, I have had some issues getting it started in really cold weather. 

Thanks Fowler.

Hey y'all .....  Yamaha Grizzly 660 or 700. I've owned a 660 since new - 2006. You could probably wrestle one up in the neighborhood of 2-4k.
Tough as nails. Pulled allot of log poles thru the woods. The differential lock turns it into a beast.
Gets in those tighter spots/turns better than the UTV. 
Great ice machine too. 
Anything Yamaha is recommended
