I'm another person with little interest in ATV riding.    In our area the active ATV trails on logging roads  have been chewed up into loose rocks, water holes and ruts so a ride becomes a bouncy slalom run around those obstacles.  The trails are especially rough on hills from the combined effect of ATV wheel spin and water erosion.   Where the trails get onto native terrain the mud and ruts are endless.  I'm well past wanting to pull on a pair of hip waders and wallow in mud all day only to spend the next day pressure washing.   About a 1/3 of our trail network is shared with the local ATV club and with each passing year the shared  trails need more and more snow before they can be groomed smooth. There are hills on these sections where our drags pull up rocks all season long.    I only use my ATV for trail work and a little bit of work around the property otherwise it would be gone and not missed.

I would love a SXS if I had somewhere to store it but it would be purely for work or slow speed cruising with my wife or G-kids.   Zero interest in going "mudding".   

Agree 100% dirt bikes made for such "rippin" , 4 wheelers for work/transport purposes. I've seen Madmax road warriors driving in and out of gravel boat launches digging ruts trying to wash the muck off em, no fackin respect there.

How do you carry the chainsaw, signage, etc on that when doing trail work?...lol...   Love the 2 wheels! Grew up on dirt bikes and got out of it about 12 years ago. My knees said that's enough.

We've been out at least once a week since May, over 35 times, and we still have so much more to clean up. It's been a tough slog but there is some light at the end of this nasty tunnel.
