EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Who makes the best fourwheeler. Gonna up grade on my hunting rig this year appreciate any info.

whoever make the wheeler YOU like and have the options YOU want that may come standard instead of purchasing them as an extra, or whatever dealership will make YOU the best offer for the things you want and not try to sell you something you don't want just so they can make a sale

I'll never buy a new fourwheeler ever again what ever i do get will be used i want to know what yall perfer.

Honda

Yall got any pics loaded up with dogs in some mud or eater

Water

I also think Honda makes the best 4 wheeler.  Change the oil, keep them out of water and they will last forever!

Iv got a grizz 700 with electronic power steering, which went out several days after warrenty expired but i couldnt tell a difference with it or without it except when in 4x4 and dif lock engaged. The cammo patteren started fading several months after warranty expired, some of the hardware holding the factory rack on fell out somewhere, the axles are not the best, busted 1 the same night the eps went out. Overall, im satisfied with it, it has plenty of power, it will pull the trailer i built to haul it on with no problems. The warn 3000# winch is acting up, sometimes works, sometime wont, but thats not part of the wheeler, just an add-on. If i had to do it over again, id buy a 2 horse bumper pull and a horse and still have money left over out of the $12,000 cost of the wheeler. With the limited areas an atv is not permitted on public land, a horse can and will go more places than any wheeler.

HONDA all the way!

I know this has been talked about on here before and it seemed that Honda was the preferred 4 wheeler...

I bought a new  Kawasaki 400 4x4 in 1995 and it was a tough wheeler... it was stolen in 2000 and so I bought a new Suzuki 500 King Quad 4x4 and it has been an awesome wheeler and I still own and use it. I bought it because it looked nice and it had a good price to it. It was powerful without having to get a bigger wheeler...smaller is better for maneuvering in the woods...

I also own a 2003 Yamaha 660 grizzly and I don't like it as well for several reasons...the main reason is because it is bigger than what I like...

Over the years I have seen more than a few Polaris wheelers that were junk...maybe the newer ones are better...
 
one thing for sure is make sure it is a 4x4 or you won't be able to go where your buddies can go some of the times...

I use Energy Release or Militec 1 which are oil additives. I also use a high quality synthetic oil...I am a firm believer in these 2 products...basically they are the same type of additive with different names...

I bought a new one back in august i went down to look at the hondas and looked at a few the guy at the dealship said would you be interested in a polaris i kinda blew him off. Anyway to make a long stoey short my wifes walks over and starts looking at them while i check out the hondas and she took off on one and came back and said try this so i took it for a spin and ended up buying it. 2015 polaris sportsman 570 4x4 im usually a honda guy myself but i cant say i have any complaints about this wheeler. Wasnt wild about the plastic racks but i havent broke one yet and its built fence and hauled a sprayer and bout anything else. It was quite abit cheaper then the honda to.

Honda rancher, had 2 of them so far and have been solid buggies

Ive had the Honda 350, and the 450. Tough reliable bikes. Also had the Yamaha Grizzly 660. Liked it too. I now have the Polaris 800. I have had it a few years & I think it is junk. I like the grizzly the best altho I think you just cannot beat a Honda. They are the most reliable bike out there.
  Like Blastin44mag says, my next bike will be the side x side because of the extra room & you can haul more dogs.

honda hands down.

Not trying to hijack the post, I know it's asking about 4wheelers, but has anyone tried the Honda pioneer, I rode in one yesterday and liked it but it seemed a bit loud and shifted hard, has anyone else had this experience.

I've been in a few different Polaris rangers and they've all been real loud

Ive also used a diesel kubota side by side that was pretty quiet.  Dang thing was nice to ! If I had the money and was looking for an atv for hunting it would dang sure be a side by side.

I beat the he11 outta my honda and it wont quit.  We have a lot of water in south florida and all my buddies with belt drives get stuck cause the belt slips.  Dont have that issue with a drive shaft. lol

Yessir....

I bought a suzuki  king quad  750 this year and I really like it. I've always had Hondas, and still have a old honda 300, but the suzuki 750 has enough power for anything.

Bombardier makes the best quad, but it's probably also the most expensive, Yamaha copied their suspension style with the grizzly, which is a really great bike, much harder to flip over if you know how to lean well than many of the other quads, more recently honda has adopted that same suspension style and honda is cheaper and we all know if you just change the oil regularly their engines last forever, I would suggest using a higher octane fuel, ethanol free is best if they have that in your state. As far as a sxs I have a Kawasaki teryx, it's really good for steeper terain, when its in low gear you won't slide down even the steepest hill, even when you're fully loaded down with dogs and hogs. For flat land the Polaris with the bigger bed would be fine

I bought a Honda 300 Four Trax in 1997 and am still using it. Wouldn't even consider buying anything but a Honda.

Seems like honda pretty much got everyone beat.

I talked to a goose guide down on the coast when I was down there hunting with him. All he had was Hondas and I asked him about them. He said that they were the only thing that would stand up in the salt marsh.

I bought a Honda Rancher brand new in 2006. Had over 5,000 hog hunting miles on it... sold it last year and it still ran like new.

I had a 2011 Honda Rancher 420 with absolutely no problems but was just lacking some power for the weight I carried so I really wanted another Honda but the Rincon didn't offer the power steering and I drove a Yamaha Grizzly with one and was sold.  However the Grizzly has had a few minor issues and I have only hunted it one year but now I put 230 hrs and 1400 miles on it in the first year and it is all hog hunting and I am pretty rough on a machine.  Really wished I would have gone with the Honda I believe.
