Anyone own a Quadzilla?

[blackieman83]

A mate is looking at buying a Quadzilla UTV, just wondering if anyone on here had any experience or knowledge of them?

Thanks.

Any thoughts at all lads?

I think they are a good idea. I'll be buying one for my son instead of a quad. They are fully strapped in with proper harness. So are passengers. Also full roll cage. Lower centre of gravity. So overall much safer than motorbike.

Thanks for the reply @Chae1

This is the type he is looking at in the link below

My thoughts were that it kind of looked as if it was more aimed at recreational users and was left wondering how it might stand up to a bit of farm work, i.e. Pulling a trailer at lambing time over rough ground.

Did anyone purchase after this? I got a good deal on a CFORCE 520 - nice quad, drives well, pulls my trailer and load without problem and a great price. I wondered if anybody had done a long term test on it yet.

We bought a 520 at the end of summer last year. After the winter it has just had, amazed by it. If it can stand up to the abuse it has had (moving sheep fences every day with a RAPPA system, flock management etc.) it will stand up to anything. We are by no means rough with kit or on what you would call hill land, but much of the land this year resembled the Somme at times.
Build quality has been second to none. We had the optional ring of steel, which has a few scratches on it (to be expected) but the plastics are still immaculate. The only issue we have had is it ate two drive belts, covered under warranty, but when the first went the dealer didn't have one in stock. They now keep plenty of spares and we have one hanging up in the workshop just in case. To be honest though, I think it was the extra weight of the fencer on the wheel causing extra resistance when starting.
It isn't the fastest machine in the world, but it is fastest enough, picks its heels up well enough, 55mph top speed, but by Jove it is sturdy. And big, feels safe. And very comfortable also. Electric locking diff is also good.
Ground clearance isn't the best and because of the weight of it, ruts can be fun, but we're big lads so soon push it over them.
Been that impressed, a 600cc is on order to join it this winter, replacing a Yamaha. The previous replaced a Suzuki 500 after it was stolen.
