I know a lad that is hard on tackle. He got a buggy. Dealership asked/told him to go back to a quad they couldn’t keep up with the warranty work on it.

That’s what I was told

Diesels travel better than the petrols, petrol ones have too much power and spin the wheels once on slippy wet ground.

Not sure on the nicking. Quads thefts have gone quiet around us but discovery’s are one after other

Ours has a tracker for what good it would be,
I think if the low life want to pinch something then they usually know how !
Be it a quad or an arctic lorry , as my old man used to say locks only keep honest men out

Its the second one ive had nicked in 2 years,so its not worth me getting another one now. My old one is in getting fixed up instead. I only went into the market town for 2 hours to do some jobs. Got back in the dark and its gone. Shorted the JCB to get it out the way,smashed the doors,then loosed all the cattle out(100 head) driven it out through the cattle shed and across multiple fields. Seen the tracks in the daylight and they have howked it over a stone wall as well. Police have two vehicles they are looking at through number recognition, Bishop Auckland area.

I am very fortunate living 1/4 mile across a moor track ! Quad and buggy are kept here by the house
Police here are next to useless, local town is running with feral kids at night
Hope you get sorted out , best of luck

If your doing everyday hard work I don’t think you’ll want to run one out of warranty tbf but it’s definitely worth it when it’s raining sideways

Sounds like they’ve got an order for them. Reminds me of when they nicked my Defender. Decided it wasn’t worth getting another one because they’d just come back for it

That crossed my mind as well although my Defender turned up in a garage in Darlington in bits being sold for parts
