Some scrote nicked our quad bike couple weeks back. Thinking of replacing with a gator this time. Anyone made that switch? Pros & cons? For day to day checks, move mobs & trailering ewes at foot. Usual jobs. Cheers.

Just had an unhappy experience with a 2021 Gator bought from a tractor dealer (not John Deere). Several problems (including a bent door they would not fix) so I have returned it. I lost £1700 as the dealer would not pay for service work or the two TractorMats I bought for it, Mats available if...

Need to change the tyres on my JD 855 gator and wondered what the general consensus was. Current set are “kenda exicutioner’s” but find they vibrate on the road once half warn. Doing a fair bit of road work but also need something that’s good in these wet muddy conditions to check sheep at keep...

Just hired a 1000cc Diesel Polaris Ranger and its used just 15 litres of diesel covering 80 ha of land at 12 metres. Should have recorded hours but i'd guess 8 hours actual work. Seems extremely frugal? What are other people recording, was hoping to get a lively petrol UTV for our own longer...

Coming to the conclusion that I could do with a quad. We have a Polaris ranger which is great, but it’s often got a sprayer on it and is being used for stuff every day. I just want something small and economical to whizz about with checking sheep. Needs to be road registered but unlikely to ever...

I have a can am traxter hd8 utv, road registered. it’s coming up to 3 years old, is it needing an MOT?

Getting near bike changing time and thinking about a change from Yamaha ( as it left me stranded over the weekend with a knackered fuel pump) to Honda. Anybody with any good or bad experience with the 520 auto

He's hung up.his car keys ,said sell it dosnt feel safe on roads. Walks with a stick now,. Can anyone recommend a little buggy type thing so he can ride down farm track maybe into fields when dry.. Not a gator type thing , smaller .. Did think about upgrading his ride on mower to a ride on...

I've had a Honda on order for about 6 months now - all in disarray and Honda sending the dealership random stuff not specifically what was on order so the agreement was I'd go on the waiting list and get choice of what was available, with the first choice being TRX420 auto with power steering...

hi, just wondering if anyone is running a road legal petrol utv? if so, on the reg cert is it down as an agri vehicle/tractor the same as the diesel ones? i have a gator 855d and its registered as a tractor.

Whats this?

I am a sergeant in the rural crime and off road bike department of a police force in Northern England. I am currently looking at the feasibility of having some of our cops use quads to aid rural patrols and help tackle off road bike issues. Before I can get my final reports in to secure funding...

I know this has been done before but just updating things. We've stuck with the gators for a long time but they can't stick the workload. Thinking of getting a good 2nd machine as a backup. Fancy something different to try see if it can cope with mud better. Are Kubota better built? Currently...

Can am polaris or gator Anybody any recommendations

Right then folks, time to attempt to come to an informed decision. Previously I've only driven Yamaha Kodiak 450's and Grizzly 700's. The 700 is obviously a better bike to suit my needs as described in the other thread...

Was looking at a Can Am 570 quad, what is the opinion on these. Have been using Suzuki this past 20 years.

Does anyone have any experience of these, ideally several years to get an idea of longevity? I’m contemplating replacing an ageing bike and inevitably the price of these is appealing with a lot apparently being sold lately but my gut feeling is to avoid them having seen people caught with cheap...

Hi all. Anyone removed the starter off a Honda Foreman (2015 Auto shift FM7). It seems to be on top of engine underneath air filter box. Any tips before I get my sleeves rolled up? Replaced solenoid 2 months ago which solved the ‘click’ on turning key but no engine turnover. Occasionally I’d...

Hi, looking at changing to a new hilux, don’t want to have a canopy because I’m hoping I can move the quad about in the back rather than having to take a trailer. Does anyone do this or has done this in the past? Bike is a kq500. Also be handy to try and tow with the truck and bike in the back...

Always had manual Honda Quad but getting sick of waiting for new ones to come in stock. Anyone had GOOD experience of other mainstream brands (around 500cc) that are reliable? I suspect that Honda are the only manual show in town so I wonder how former manual pilots get along with auto . Steep...
