I need another working atv. My current, I use weed wiping on the front, Sprayer on the rear. Removable with large rack/basket underneath for tools. Spreader for seed/fertilizer. Moving deer stands, a hitch for dragging in seed or pulling a trailer, winch and more. 90% for working. I have other ATVs for play/riding. I say these things to explain the pulling load and suspension needs. so far, this Honda Rubicon 500 has done well, but the constant, unfixable, trigger into limp mode has caused me to give up on it. My question...... Auto trans or gears. I was wondering how the auto trans does in regards to working. such as pulling. with my gears, I can control the rpms to speed. The auto does not allow this. wondering if that could be a problem. Anybody working an auto like described. We used a polaris 500 pulling a trailer yesterday moving 14 stands. The sharp turning of this machine in the woods, with trailer behind was a major advantage. Has me considering one for my next work vehicle.... if the auto trans is not a problem under a loaded pull
