[AT] OT Four wheeers

[Mike Meulenberg]

Hi Don, I have a Polaris Sportsman 500 that I use exactly like you intend to do. Personally, if I had it to do over again I would get a Honda, mine is hard to work on, and has had some expensive parts fail.  I just changed the oil on it yesterday, what a  royal PIA, I had to have my 16 year old daughter crawl under it to get the drain plug back in, a mans hand just will not fit. What the others have said about the side by sides is spot on, I have a friend who has bad knees and wrists, and he's looking to go that route because riding the traditional 4 wheeler is uncomfortable.

I recently underwent some fairly major surgery on my leg. It appears 
that it may be several months before I can return fully to my previous 
activities. The trouble is that things still need doing around here. 
Now that the bugs are down and the woods are clear I need do some work 
there.

To that end I have thinking about getting some sort of four wheeler. I 
know almost nothing about them. What I am looking for is something that 
I can strap on a chain saw and a tank of fuel. I would like to be able 
to drag out small branches and maybe tow a small trailer and the 
chipper. The wooded area is mostly steep hills with a few trails.

Any ideas welcome.
