Quads for the lanes...


Morning all

A few of us are looking at getting some farm Quads for laning this winter, anyone have much experience in what works?

Looking at Honda TRX 450 or Yam Kodiak 450/700, both 4WD with Wacky sized lunch box for coffee machine and pasties etc etc

Any makes we should stay away from?

Cheers all.

Honda trx range are the best bet, spares etc. Any farm quad you buy is likely to have had a hard life so beware. How much are you willing to spend ?

I have found the quads very much slower than the two wheelers, in part because of the problems caused them by narrow single track ways.
It would be a good thing for everybody if there were more slightly wider machines using the lanes as it will keep the over growth back and make the ways more pleasant for all.
Only 202-020 springs to mind as out of bounds because of the bollards but you should be ok on most lanes even those with warnings about only 6"6' width as you will be somewhat slimmer.
Good luck and have fun.

Not selling the 690 just yet, but fancy trying something a little different. 

Not sure what the non Jap ones are like, but looking at a Yam 450 Kodiak this weekend.

My son has a Yamaha grizzly 660 with power steering.Ive been out with him on the lanes and was impressed with how fast he goes on it.It will climb over and go up rough terrain with ease.

power steering is well worth having if you like rattling on.Also independent rear suspension makes a big difference.

stay away from Chinese makes as they seem less reliable.

Im hopeing to get a Grizzly when I finish building my garage..

look on You tube lots of info..

Kingquad 750 I had one for 6 years and put 600ish hours on it with no issues. Top speed about 70mph do more than enough !
