I tried a quick search on the ATV urility forum and did not come up with much even though I'm sure you have seen or participated in a discussion about them. We are considering a general purpose utility ATV. Some trail riding on easily traversable terrain, maintanence around here like spraying RoundUp for the weeds, sprinkler repair, etc. About the only thing I'm pretty sure I want or need is the ability to have one arm free to hang onto a 3 year old boy. I must also say I have driven two brands in the distant past and one could go in and out of 4WD and the other could not. I really liked how the one that could go into 2WD handled in 2WD. Also entertaining is the thought of bringing it up north of here to a family member with several thousand acres of beautiful hilly terrain West of Mount Lassen in California. The Honda Rancher AT seems appropriate but I would appreciate your opinion. I contacted a fella here at TBN and he gave me some good info. I am looking now for more information from folks hopefully with a variety of experience and brands. Thanks, Rat...
