The Polaris Sportsman 550 EPS looks very nice. Which ATV would you recommend if my use is going to primarily be for snow plowing my driveway? It is not a huge driveway, but living in CT, we get a lot of snow, and I'm looking for a reliable, easy to use, good-looking ATV that I can attach a 60" snow plow to. I will also use it for light trail riding, and hauling materials around my property. Again, the main use is snow plowing a medium size driveway.

Thanks!

@tomshen This would be a great ATV for that. Just remember, for pushing a 60" plow through deep snow you'll need some more aggressive, radial tires.

which would be better for the price and what not? the polaris 500 HO or the yamaha grizzly 450 4x4 auto?

[ATVTVCOM]

@OMGelectronics I prefer the smaller, lighter, and more reliable Grizzly. Not to mention it also has separate brake controls for front and rear brakes, and complete 4wd system. I'd choose the next size up though - probably the 550 - it's a top-of-the-line machine.

what did u not like about this quad

[ATVTVCOM]

@1728jeff7928 Didn't the test kinda sum those things up?

yamahas way better

@aux1z11 I think he said the shock's springs can be stiffened for 'bigger' loads, whether that happens to be beer, deer, gear, or your dear's bigger rear ;-)

[aux1z11]

Did he say the shocks could be stiffend for Beer Loads?

@Lenar2541 The longer wheelbase makes the ATV much more stable in irregular terrain. And the power steering helps not only to make the steering easier but also helps the handlebars from being jerked as much in the rough terrain.
