LOVE the Kodiak- I always had Honda ATVs in the past but really glad I bought the Yamaha this time around. Great ride, is good on fuel, and great low range for working. To pull a trailer with the load you have where I live I have to get my MX5100 out. We are so hilly it would shove me down a hill and take me for a ride! LOL

I've read the other thread on utv recommendations, but seeing this post has some cooler photos.
Still trying to find one in my price range though, I know I'm going to use it like a truck, but the price is up there on some... used seems to be the affordable option

Over 9000 miles on my Kodiak now. Good, dependable machine. Not the best on steep sidehills, though. That independent suspension that gives it such a good ride makes it more prone to roll. The Honda with the straight rear axle is more stable on sidehills. I've rolled mine 3 times now.

Yes, we've been stuck a few times. I'll look for some pics but in general, doesn't happen very often. Many once every 3 years when someone gets into trouble.

The snow and wind had creating voids and the operator dropped into one.. The drifts were about 4ft tall.

Here I got a pod off the impacted trail. My fault.

In this photo the wind had blown in more than 3ft of semi impacted snow. This was a hard one to get out of.

That looks cool! What is it?

Is that a Quadractor? I have not seen one in decades. Always thought they were an interesting idea.
