    Wow! That will make wood processing a whole lot more efficient. The right tools really help out.

    you know you are going love that machine. Very nice tool to add to your collection. I am all in favor of tools that help us work smarter. (plus have a bit of fun now and then.)

    Congrats!! :quad: They sure come in handy in the woods.

    It’s way too clean though - take it on a detour through a mud puddle or something!

    That will be so handy for your landscaping project too! No rolling boulders uphill, maybe you can pull them.

    Very nice WW, we have the same cart for our ATV, invaluable in my opinion.:yes:

    That is WAY better than a wheelbarrow. I can see it's 4wd, auto or manual?

    Yep.. now get it muddy. :thumbs:

    Thank you for all your comments. It is 4wd, automatic, high, low. It doesnt have the power steering but honestly it turns real nice and easy.

    Nice machine. I don't think another ATV is in my future, but if it was, I would look very closely at Can-Am. I really like some of their features.

    Very nice!! I have the same machine just the 2016 model, I don’t think much has changed. Lots of HP for a 450, no real complaints other than changing the oil is kind of a pain in the butt, I believe it has 16 grease fittings, good luck finding and reaching them all. Also I don’t like how the tow hitch is mounted to the rear axle/deferential but saying that I have had no issues and I’ve used it a time or two to move the snowmobile trailer with sleds in it around the yard along with regular wood hauling duties.

    Like anything keep up on your maintenance and I think you will be very happy for many years.

    I've never had a problem with ours and have had it for about 4 yrs now.
    Granted I don't use it a lot in freezing temps.

    Before buying it I dragged logs off the hill with the ATV till the tranny complained. $300 cart is way cheaper than $8000 ATV.

    TurboDiesel I think he has an Ohio Steel cart if I'm seeing the logo correctly.

    If so, then it's a good cart, I looked at the thread you posted. Don't have any experience with the Brinley carts.

    Ours is an Ohio Steel, and it's held up quite well. As mentioned it doesn't get a lot of workout in the freezing temps, but I did move the 2 facecord of wood I had to buy with it last month, no issues still.

    Nice quad!

    Ohio steel, huh? That's a northern tool or similar brand ( harbor freight), right?

    I got ours @ Tractor Supply, but I do think Northern Tool carries them also.
    Good cart
