Far safer than a rigid axle, also a lot more comfortable. Won't break your back while driving on ploughed field or over some stumps and other stuff.Interested to know how they handle on rough going (as safe, or safer than rigid axle?), and what about ride comfort? Is the tow ball more accessible too?
That would be my answer as well.If you're using it crossing steep ground ( silly arse clenching steep )the solid axle is far safer than any independent suspension due to lack of roll

Can I be awkward and ask why? Do use a trailer a fair bit. Thanks for all helpful replies.If you tow a trailer, stick with solid axle.
IRS will have too many wearing parts in the drivetrain and suspension compared to solid rear axle. If you like new four wheelers every couple of years then get one with IRS, but I'll stick with TRX400 ("Pinetree" spec ) as it will only be replaced after 10,000 hours.Can I be awkward and ask why?
