ATV Speed Question
Here's one for you atv folks.
My brother owns 7 acres of basically rolling hill farm land here in Nor Cal. He's been beating up a lawn tractor (and himself) every few years dragging around his tow-behind mower platform. The land has been disked a couple times so the no-suspension ride of the lawn tractor is horrendous.....along with cracking and breaking everything off the tractor after a while. He asked me about the Chinese ATV's and how I thought they'd work. I said that I thought a full-sized 150 ranch-style quad should be adequate but I wouldn't burn up a CV trans dragging it around at mowing speed.....or am I incorrect in this assumption? So, you guys who have the manual clutch/shifting quads....do you think that first gear would be slow enough for this? He only knocks it down a few times a year, so it's not like he can cost-justify a used, 'real' tractor.
