If anyone runs one of these what are the pros and cons? Looking at one but can't decide on a 500 or 700. Saw the post where Vikesbull was getting a 500, maybe he can give some input on the 500. Have seen the abuse Honda atvs can take so figured I would try one of these and would appreciate your input/experience.

I recently traded for a new Honda 500 Foreman. Am extremely disapointed compared to the 09 Foreman I traded off. The 2014 bike only has a single shock on the back, even a 25 gallon sprayer makes it squat and look like it is going to pop a wheelie.....

Instant response. It has a positive traction axle. Will really travel before locking in 4wd. It's one of the lightest in its class.and sharpest turning radius. Cons. Not a lot of dry storage. No turf saver mode so it will tear up the grass when turning sharp. Some people say it lacks power. It's just right for me because I use it for utility purposes. It's not a power house. Wouldn't buy anything else if I had to do it over again. |

Ask 9 wire if he could tell me how many 1 yr. old lambs he can pull with it in a stock trailer.

Pat that would be my intended purpose also would be to use it around the place and trapping as needed. What kind of gas usage would you say you get out of a tank? I would like the short turning radius also. Thanks for the reply.
