   / ATV, UTV, RTV, I'm confused!!!!!!! #21  
my ATV is an Arctic Cat 400 cc 4x4 automatic utility workhorse with 1100 lbs towing capacity and good ground clearance, fairly heavy (good) has a 2 inch square hitch receiver, so same tow hitch as my truck. i bought it for use on the farm. the olive green colour does not get noticed on the property, and the dealer is local to my community.
- i did not need it for speed, racing, etc., and i preferred that it was not bright and flashy
- it was my first piece of farm equipment, top speed at 90 kms / hr (when am i going to need to go faster than that ?), and cost about 1/3 the price of a suitable tractor.

My cousin's Yamaha Grizzly 660 cc 4c4 automatic utility could go quicker at top speed, perhaps 10 -15 kms / hr faster (105 kms), had lower ground clearance, it was not set up to tow more than about 700 lbs, and although in a race ... his machine and experience was the clear winner ... he had to go around things on the trails (rocks, fallen trees etc) that I could climb over.

great machines, different uses and purposes.
