My new Kawasaki ATV Pics...

[mkwl]

Here's some pics of my new 2006 Kawasaki 4x4 360 ATV with 2500 lb. Warn winch, 54" Cycle Country snowplow and rear tire chains (not on it in the pics). I bought it a 2 weeks ago, but hadn't had a chance to put up the pics on lawnsite. I'll use it for plowing my accounts in the winter (pushes 6" of heavy, wet snow like it's not even there), I'll pull my trailer with it in the summer, and of course I'll use it to go mudding upstate :cool: ! What do you think?

[mkwl]

Here's a few more... :p

[mkwl]

sorry, no more pics.

hows it workin out?

[climber]

Thats awesome! How much it set ya' back?

[mkwl]

I LOVE it already!!!:) :) :) It was $6,599 with the attachments and 4 year warranty.

I had that same plow on my Suzuki vinson 500. I guess it worked good, we never got any substantial snow after I bought it and then I sold the whole rig the next fall.

I kinda miss my 4 wheeler, not sure which one though... I liked the 4x4 but it was as big as an import car and kinda dangerous to ride when there's a lot of whoops to go over and a lot of twists and turns in trails. Just so heavy I sure wouldn't want to be under it in an accident if you know what I mean! I also had a Yamaha Raptor 660, that was certainly fun to ride but it was tiring fast. After a good accident where I went face first into the ground and pulled about every muscle in my back and legs (got ran over too) I realized that going out and having a little fun wasn't worth losing my business over! What if I broke something? (besides my nose) If I put myself out of commission cause of some toy I would have been screwed!

Ok, I owned a helmet, but of course It was in the back of the truck. Just one of those "go out for a minute and then come back" rides. Live and learn....

Moral is: Be safe! Not sure how much you are going to use that for pleasure riding, but if you do ANY have a helmet! Also keep alcohol out of the equation too! Beer = bravery = accidents! (yes I see that you are 15, but that never stopped most guys I knew from drinking!)

that thing is awesome there is an all hydraulic plow at www.blackline.us that set up is awesome i was thinking about getting one but we got a 17.5 hp tractor that works good we got 9" of snow today and it did great but I'm going to get a wheeler soon i hope

I dont think the towing is a good idea...my mom has a prarie 300 and i towed a trailer behind it and only did it MAYBE 3 times before the transmition went out and it was a RIDICULOUS amount to pay...i do like Kawasaki though we have 3 and we love em....you gotta get some mud on that thing man

[liquidforcedude7]

That looks nice bro... how much of it could you write off in your taxes?

One of neighbors has a older F-250 with like a 16 inch lift kit and huge tires and he went to pick up his new quad from the dealership. he put the ramps on the tailgate and starterd to pull up them into th back of the truck and it was soo steep the quad flipped and he dove off and he like shattered the gas tank and snaped the handle bars off. It was brand new and this was in the parking lot of the dealership...

Well, it says that it will tow 1100 lbs without a problem, a friend of mine had the same model as mine except without the 4x4, and he tows 1200 lbs 3x per week for 52 weeks per year for 2 years so far, without any problems. Thanks for the concern though, I have the 4 year extended warranty, and it covers parts and labor. Keep the responses coming :waving:

[John P.]

any other ways your going to use it for work aerator or anything

[kc2006]

looks good. Should have fun and be able to make some money with that.

I'm going to pick up a 2000 300 ex tomorrow got it super cheap, now I can finally go riding with friends.

[mkwl]

Thanks guys, I'll probably also get a 5' brush mower for it eventually, so I can mow our fields upstste.

[mkwl]

Anyone else have pics of their ATV's?:waving:

[RRHAMMONS]

Thats nice. How well does it push?

[mkwl]

Well, when I first got it, I plowed 6" of really heavy, frozen snow with no trouble at all, in 2WD mode (also has 4WD mode). Seems like this ATV will truly go through nearly anything!:blob4:

[ljrce]

mkwl, why are you using the quad to pull the trailer? I thought you had you license and a truck.........

[stuffdeer]

You mean, you drive this NON-Street legal quad, in the streets to your jobs?

[mkwl]

No, you must be thinking of someone else. I'm only 16, have a permit, but no truck yet. Maybe you're thinking of MCWLandscaping?

I have a liscence plate on it and an SMV sign on it. I've had police pass me before, and they haven't said or done anything. My Uncle is also the Cheif of Police in my town...

[DodgeTruckMan731]

always helps! My father sold most of the police in this town thy're houses so we're freindly (it's funny to watch they're faces as you pass on the z:laugh: ) infact as soon as monday night football starts up they'll be over here for the first game..;)

love that atv your lucky

[zero_turn_freak]

thats sweet, i just sold my '02 Honda Recon 250cc

[stuffdeer]

But still, there is nothing completely legal you can do, unless you put street tires on it, blinkers and have it checked at the DMV's office before being completely legal. Yes it is a bonus personally knowing the chief of police!

[04TurfT]

shoulda bought an ARCTIC CAT...

[LawnmanJ]

shoulda bought an ARCTIC CAT...

:nono:Negative Son! Kawasaki is the way to go:)

[stuffdeer]

Acually, I'm considoring the new Arctic Cat Side by side...

[J&R Landscaping]

I've looked at several brands. The kawasaki, & suzuki quads are nice. Polaris is a good brand as-is Bombardier. I might be getting one soon but I have other things on the imeidiate agenda.

[04TurfT]

I was just playin around I got a little Kawi 220 bayou... that ain't ever had a problem.... then 2 years ago I got a Arctic Cat 650...ain't had a prob either I love it....

[beran34]

You should have bought a Polaris.

[ProStreetCamaro]

thats sweet, i just sold my '02 Honda Recon 250cc


I love my 04 Recon! That little thing is like the train that could! I use it to offroad with and i also use it to pull my areator.

Here is a video of me and my friends on our ATV's last winter on 2,000 acres that we werent allowed on. :hammerhead: I am the guy in the green carhart jacket which makes me look fat. :laugh: They are both 250cc bikes.

Not bad for a 2x4, But when you start taking it through water over the front racks, or mud with a soft bottom, Then I'd like to see it!

Next time I go up to my place, I'll take videos of my 4x4 and 2x4 going through water past the front racks.

[liquidforcedude7]

not to be the queer that advocates helmet use but your pretty lucky, hauling ass into mud with trees that close....

I tell you what our 2X4's do really well for a little 250. Mine has ITP Mud Lite rear tires which help alot. That hole that I pulled my friends atv out of is about the nastiest mud hole I have ever encountered. A couple weeks before that video was taken we were going across the ice and right in the middle it broke and sunk to the racks in mud. Well 2 guys show up (and we think UH OH were in trouble now) and ask if we need help. They both have lifted grizzlys with huge mud tires. Well they pull us out and the one guy thought he would be cool and go through that mud hole because he had a big bad 660 Grizzly. He hit the hole and his bike all but disappeared and thats where his bike sat. It was all his buddy could do to pull him out and we waited just in case they needed help. Our bikes can do much more than whats in that video but thats the only place we have to ride.

Here's a couple of my Kawasaki 750.

The first one is when it was new and the second is of it ready to go to work (but still waiting).

How do you post the pic directly in the post (without having to click to see it)?

[DoetschOutdoor]

Nice looking quad you got there!! If I wasnt such a bike guy, I would definately have one of those 750s in my garage right now.

[desii]

Thanks for the compliment. I hope I get to put it to work....sooon.:cry:
