[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 1719819, member: 2805"] Nothing wrong with buying a used one IF you know how it was used. Stay away from anything with snorkels. Also, check the diff fluids for any signs of water. I bought a used '07 Rancher 4x4 ES back in '08 with 40 hours and 250 miles on it for $3800 and it's run like a top... but the guy used it only for hunting (no mud or water) and he was headed back to Iraq and didn't want it to sit idle and depreciate for 18 months. No ATV is gonna be great for food plot work, but the forman is hard to beat for pulling the ATV implements around in circles. Lift kits are often harder on the driveshafts, mostly because they allow you to run oversize tires. It's a subtle sign that the bike may have been used for mudding in the past. [/QUOTE]
