KVR -- ATV or Tractor? | Page 6 | General Homesteading Discussion | Forums

That's fancy. I haven't seen many ES's in my price range.

I ran across one of these on CL for a decent price... just out of my price range but it probably sold last night. I didn't know they made these. Polaris ATV with a dump truck bed on the back, solid axle, and differential modes for driving on grass and not tearing up the yard. Sounds perfect but I don't think I can swing the extra $$. I think I will end up going with the Honda I found if it is still available and maybe a larger rack on the back.

I didn't end up getting anything. I had a guy commit to buying the tractor over the phone with "I trust your word, we have a deal" and then he called me the night before he was coming to pick it up calling off the deal because he bought something else. I stopped trying to sell it at that point -- I think it was divinely inspired that I keep the tractor.

I put chains on her last week and she has so far been a beast in the snow. The downside is that I have to keep pushing the snow back on the road so it doesn't get too narrow -- with a plow truck or ATV I think the blade would be bigger and I would be going faster so it would roll off the blade and further back off the road.

Thanks for the encouragement. In a perfect world I would keep this and get something else but we do everything debt free so I work with what I've got!
