Summertime, 2 wheels is also my choice. but right now, it is just to damned wet!* Just read the Quad thread and can see that buying a £7K+ quad is no guarantee of quality or reliability!

I do see ££££K Mule type vehicles being used like you describe.... :)



*Maybe a Rokon... :)

Problem is, it's usually at the other farm when I need it for a job ! Great for light farm duties like blasting goats and mustering off the bluffs, not every cow will shift for a drone but they all shift for the 300C

Love the concept. Lightweight, modest powered LGP "truck"

Do not, I repeat, do not buy one. Neighbour had one as a garden run about. Gave up on it at 100miles. Everything broke.Had privilege of it being sat in my shed for awhile. It is literally a quad bike that has had the back sawn off and a tipper welded on. The chain drive is about a mile long.

However he did sell to a dealer for £500 so it’s out there somewhere. Cost him £15 mile In depreciation.

the Chinese come up with some brilliant ideas , you look at them and think yea just what i want , but its all just poorly made sh1t , if they were to put some quality into it they would be way ahead of most manufactures ,
I agree, The Chinese do turn out some decent enough kit though this is directly proportional to the amount of absolute dross they also produce, they are the masters of forgery & illusion.

If it was a 600 or 750cc shaft drive with some decent QA/QC behind it then it would probably be a decent enough thing but as it stands it just looks like its one tetchy sheep farmer tantrum away from destruction.

Though if it had Honda on the decals it would probably sell well

Shame there is not an electric version, so using when a full power quad is not required most of the time, hence full poweres quad lasts longer.

And now sat in someone elses shed.... ;)

Believe you me I had no intention of having one, just like the concept. Chassis looked like it needed reinforcing out of the crate!
