Narrowed my choices to one of two; either a Honda Pioneer 700 or a Yamaha Wolverine. The prices I hit were nearly equal --about $200 bucks difference. I was a a bit more impressed with the Yamahas test drive:
Yamaha: great ride, exceptional quickness/acceleration, roomy cab--good beer holder �� The Yamaha bed was just OK....not near as big as the Honda bed...the Honda had a hydraulic dump. No power steering but that isn't a huge deal.. Bonus-winch. Bighorn 2.0s .
This is from a local,
Good reputation hometown dealer. My kids were just ahead of hers in school...she remembered my son " he was a star player" --I cracked up.
Pioneer: Honda reputation. Dump bed isn't a necessity, but is sure nice. AT/MT option. Power steering. Camo with a roof and nice upgraded wheels and tires.
Out of state dealer-within 25 miles. Pretty good reputation. ( southern power sports in Chattanooga)
I need to know your experiences. Please don't tell me to look at brand "P"because I have been reading everything I can get my hands on for three months, and I have seen, heard and read too many negatives and nightmares about those. I can't afford a $10k mistake. The Yamaha and Honda are the choices because of the reliability reputation.
Fire away.
