With its manual tranny and super-low first gear, this machine is unequaled in the woods. It is also a very sure-footed rough trail machine. If you want to go really fast, get something else. This is a utility machine, and it is geared for working. It is excellent in snow and mud, and in rough terrain. It turns sharply, rides very well, and holds back nicely on downhill grades.
I use my machine for logging and harvesting firewood from the forest. I also drag large rocks around on a "stone boat". I tow a landscape drag with it. I use it to gather tree sap for maple syrup in the spring. And, the wife and I go joy riding with it in rough terrain. Except for top speed, this machine doesn't take a back seat to any quad. Excellent machine! This is the best value for the money.
