I know JD is getting out of the atv business and are closing the Buck series out. I am looking at getting a 650 EXT and was wandering what their past experience has been? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks

Really I thought 06 was their last year ? Anyway I'm pretty sure it's not much more then a rebadged bomardier so you can look up info on them and it will mostly transfer over.

Thanks darkday. I'm still curious if there is anyone out there who actually owns one? Thanks.

The only thing JD about their ATV's was the name. The last I heard they were made by Bombardier. I owned a Bombardier Traxter 500cc for three years and they make a quality bike. I like the step through design, it had a liquid cooled engine that ran great and was very responsive and the traction was excellent.

Thanks Oleozz. Test drove a 650 EXT today. It's quite a beast at 807#. Not very nimble or maneuverable but lots of torque and speed. The long wheel base was very stable on hillsides too. Since I'll be using it mainly on open pasture I think it will be just the ticket. Did notice a slight clunk from the front end which I beleive is caused by the progressively locking 4 wheel drive system. All 3 units I test drove had it. Overall, at $5000 closeout price, I think it's a good deal.

I ride with a guy who has a 650. Good machine. Heavy, but otherwise good. They have awesome storage and are built by Bombardier. I'm quite sure the last year was 06. Our local dealer was sold out probably a good year ago. I do question resale though.
