    With stuffed hip quad easier to throw your leg over I reckon, but I ain’t never sat in a sbs.

    One of my nick names when growing up was “no legs” so hitting knees may not be a issue.

    Long body short legs some guys reckon I was deformed lol. Geez I used that lol thing

      Have a neighbor who bought an old Toyota Tacoma from SGI salvage, a bit dented up but it's amazing the places he can go, plus heat and air conditioning.
      Still uses his quad and Toyota for moving cattle.

        Might need a quad then. Maybe you can’t reach the pedals in the sbs!

          no side x side much easier to get in and out of than throwing your leg over quad seat

            Some guys use those old GM trackers or Suzuki sidekicks, really not much bigger than a sbs but good for on the road also.

            I prefer the agility of a quad but the old man in me gets sore hips with too much rough riding.

              Had Quads for 15 years, very quick better for mud. SBS can haul, pull, and SUPER easy to get into. Great seats, car like steering and a differential not to tear up yard/grass. Just love the 800XT BRP Defender. $19000, 650 quad about $14000. Try one, can't live/without it now.

                  SXS all the way. One thing I didn't see mentioned was safety. If you are going to war with cattle on your SXS then put on your seatbelt. That makes you pretty safe. Can't do that with the quad. I know of a lot of people hurt or killed in quad and side by side without seatbelt accidents. Mostly while herding cattle. Our Can Am SXS has a governor that limits speed to 20 km with the seatbelt unbuckled. If the operator is good with 20 km by all means leave the belt off. But if more speed is needed buckle up. Doing up the seat belt behind the operator is NOT considered acceptable around here.

                  As far as working cattle goes I will get as much or more done on the SXS as somebody on a quad. With 4 wheel drive and 1000 cc's it outruns and out stops everything. To me stopping is more important than
                  turning radius. Also the ability to shift to reverse quickly is essential when working cattle. Lots of times being able to quickly back a foot or 2 will keep the critter moving forward instead of trying to cut behind you.

                    Friend has a Cf moto sbs, mallee type of guy struggles to get in it, he rolled it in the yard day he bought it so i think all sbs are not equal.

                      Sounds like your built for rugby.
