I'm considering buying a 4x4 ATV with a winch for some muddy fun.
Seeing the prices of used ones ($3500 plus for over 10 year old machines) I am considering waiting until the off season and buying either a new Arctic Cat 400 for around $5000 or a Polaris Sportsman 400 for around the same.
Do you guys have any recommendations of which one is better/which one to avoid? Any other makes/models that I should consider in or around the $5 or $6k mark? I definitely need 4x4, preferably with racks and a winch. I won't be racing on tracks with this, I will be going through mud bogs and up and over rocks, through water, etc...
I would definitely consider a used one in good shape, but like I said at this time of year people are asking almost new prices for old machines. And I don't want to buy other people's problems if I can get something new for not much more.
