ATV report

Just have to say that the new ATV is the berries!!!! I can throw a bale of hay on back and go spread it in the pasture with no effort. Yesterday I put the blade on in about 10 minutes. Went and plowed my driveway. 6" of wet snow and I had it cleared in about 30 minutes (it's 500' long with a hill and a curve). The 4 X 4 made it easy to get around. I've never cleared the drive this fast, even with a 6' blade on a big tractor. I'm thrilled with my choice!!

I think you got yours mainly for working. We got ours mainly for playing, but I love it. We already had an old one that we put new tires on. DH and I get out and enjoy the outdoors. Hopefully, the weather will soon permit us using them more. Right now, we're pricing trailers. A nearby National Forrest has some terrific ATV trails we want to take advantage of, but we need a trailer just large enough for one. The other we can put in the truck bed.

A year from now you'll look back and wonder how you ever got by without an ATV. One of the handiest and most versatile pieces of equipment I've ever owned.

I got the Honda FourTrax Rancher AT. It's a 4 X 4 which is the reason I could plow snow uphill. Also like the fact that it is an automatic shift.

I'm sure I will find other tasks for it to do! The trick will be to continue walking where I can instead of jumping on the ATV!

You'll find this will be hard to do.

Congrats, you will find a new use every day.

Bought the 1 st one in 1995, use it for plowing and mowing, still going strong.
Bought the second (auto shift, for DW).
I don't know how anyone in the country can get by with out one?

We have 3 of them, and before 2008 is over, I'd like to get another one.
I love the Honda ATVs.
