Hi everyone,

New to the forum and looking for some guidance. I am after an atv for around the house moving firewood and the like. I am looking at a couple of Polaris atv's. One is a sportsman 450 that will need a new swingarm, bushes and brakes. It has also done about 1800 hours. The other is a trail boss 330 that needs nothing from what i cant tell.

A bit worried about the cost of repairs on the 450 (and the hours on the motor) but like the extra power and 4X4.

any advice would be appreciated.

asking price would be a key factor in your answer there there are plenty of second hand jap quads for sale about the place.
