Re: bought a qaud
 

sweet, got any pics? i say that if your extra bored in the winter youre more than welcome to come plow my driveway, lol. id put a plow on my quad but id probably go over the bars ramming the piles, lol. you know that they make your quad in a diesel. thats pretty cool

Re: bought a qaud
 

ya the diesel is like 200 pounds heavier and loud as all hell but its a work horse!

Re: bought a qaud
 

get your wife to take some pics of this thing.

Re: bought a qaud

Re: bought a qaud
 

i was going to today, it was hit and miss with the weather. i got my predator going after tightening the shifter yet again, and i took it for a boot. seems to have lost its appeal. fast fuker though, almost tossed me a few times haha, and i got home went into the workshop for 2 minutes look out and its raining. i was gonna ride the bike down there but that went to hell. maybe tomorrow if its decent ill ride down.

Re: bought a qaud
 

fast is fun but two wheel drive eats balls 4x4 is all year round fun :P
tomorrow is the eve of destruction at humbestone ill be pitting with darrel ***** all day, but i will have the quad there if the weather dont look to bad in the am

Re: bought a qaud
 

No pics, it does not exist HAHAHAHAHA!

Re: bought a qaud
 

youve contemplated 2wd we both know it. they each serve a purpose :)you like to go slow and plow and i like to go fast enough to suck my eye balls out of my face :D

Re: bought a qaud
 

holy **** humberstone was muddy, but the atv did pretty damn good towing cars through the slop that was there, even had to drag a few tow rigs through the pits cause they were so sloppy, very happy i got a 4x4 tow rig as well lol

Re: bought a qaud
 

Sounds like you had fun

Re: bought a qaud
 

the eve is always a great time lol have a blast every year and the bus that burnt to the ground was great, i especially loved when people started running cause it was going to explode lol man that was funny i just considered it heat( it was getting cool) so we could watch the last demo lol

Re: bought a qaud
 

I have been looking for a quad myself.

Autotrader and Uchi suggested Mudhole..

Perhaps I should hit kijiji. I too want it for a plow :banana:

Re: bought a qaud
 

i was looking at used one, and for what the used ones still go for and how beaten they are i gave up and bought new it really was not that much more! hell the cat dealer here is offer no payments for 6 months helmet glves plow and aluminum rims included in the price of a new one

Re: bought a qaud
 

Both guys that I know that bought bikes there last year got the end of season deals on them and it was retarded compared to buying the same bike used. You could not say no to it. They even managed to get great deals at the time of sale on tires. I wish I had the coin to drop on a Thunder Cat or an 800 Can Am

Re: bought a qaud
 

the can am 800 is still way more money than the T cat, im hoping tab likes the quad then she can have the 700 and ill go get a T cat lol 700's paid for t cat will be on loan type deal HAH

Re: bought a qaud
 

And what is a new one worth, 15k ?

15k snow plow, not sure about that :p

I have a big red still. :banana:

Re: bought a qaud
 

15k not even close, price depends on what size you want of course!

tell me what your looking for and ill swing by the dealer tomorrow on my way home and havea chat with my buddy and get a price list for ya!

Re: bought a qaud
 

i wondered how much a new quad is too... is 10k a nice quad or a sick one... can you get a 20 grand quad??

you should post a pic of your quad mike.. are they cat yellow?

Re: bought a qaud
 

T you can spend nearly 20 on a can am for sure they are brutally priced, and modding a quad is just as bad as any truck its only limited to your pocket book!
mines camo and im workingon pics just been bust the fukin thing needs a bath so bad after humberstone on sunday my god!

Re: bought a qaud
 

If memory servers, my buddy put out just over $11K for his new 600 Can Am with everything and the 800 Renegade was about $13K. As Mike mentioned the Cats are less money and by no means am I an ATV guy, but from everything I have read, the Can Am 800 is supposed to be as fast or faster then the Thunder Cat 1000, but then again, I have never seen anyone running a Thunder Cat on the trails. I have seen the 600 Can Am out perform several 650 and 700 Cats though.

Re: bought a qaud
 

no the T cat is top dog aint nothing touching it right now!(like everythig though time will change that ) even the renegade is getting duste by it

mostly the artic cat is not geared for top speed their original intent was farm use as a work horse
mine tops out at 100-105km/h and on the floggin balloon tires thats enough for me lol

i can get the 950cc TCAT forless than a 600 can am,

and performanc edpends on the year, the cats are generally very new in terms off 4x4 atv's and the early years especially 650 and 700's had suzuki and or kawasaki engines, in 08 cat started making their own engines and tey perform MUCH better than the old engines

regardless, im happy with my choice dollar for dollar i thiink the cat is the fox body mustang of the quad world, but to each their own i bought mine new with 3500 pound winch 5 foot plow and a tow behind 46in cut lawn mower for 9400 tax in out the door!

Re: bought a qaud
 

good deal mike! id get that 1 too!
then id be beggin to plow and cut the grass!
