Quads v side by side

[redleaf]

Had quads before, (still do), but SXS is great. Get the work rather than sport model for bench seat,(seats 3 very comfortably unless three big dudes) and ease of entry and exit. Handy as all get out around the farm with dump box for carrying tools, picking rocks,hauling beer, etc. Bought Yamaha Viking but hear good things about Honda. Would look hard at Roxor if they are available in Australia Mallee.

Have both here and I’ll take the quad every time for chasing but my folks do better with the SxS. A quad will go through way more mud (probably not as much of a problem😉) and bush and run circles around anything chasing. The SxS is nice for checking fence, taking mineral out, and for passengers. Power steering is real nice. Not sure what you have for a stock trailer but our SxS fits in barely for height. Makes it easy to move them around and no tying down required.

They get more miles here than most people’s vehicles in town. Happy shopping.

have both here. quad better for chasing and herding, side by side for fencing . yard work, field checking. quad will go through more muck, side by side is nicer to use when weathershitty.

We have quads mostly because of leg room. I use my quad for crop checking. I am on a highway and so the ability to leave while riding is limited. I can put my quad in the back of my truck. If I need to haul things around the yard, I just use my truck. Less banged knees.

We have both quads and side by sides.

Quads are good all around.

Sides are for couple going for a drive.

Old Deere side.b Y side still runs

New Artic cat needs a motor on warranty some problem with 50 hrs

there is also a onexside, single seat model, that you don't hafta throw your leg over seat
probably fit in half ton box , still dusty though

i agree on the dusty cabs, what a mess. for $30k, buy a another used pick up truck for less money.

I am with Blaithin with quad. Quick on and off and like Case says the dust on a side by side is just crazy.
I don’t haul fence posts and fencing equipment though.
I have a box on the back of my quad for picking rocks.

Seriously considered a mini truck with quad tires for around the fences and running around the yard. Good sized box.
Had an old sbs I bought well used and some newer quads.
The old sbs yamaha was slugish and seemed like you had to push it to keep moving.
Sold it to a guy that fixed it all up.
Biggest advantage to the sbs is when you need 2 seats.
