| I am looking at buying either the 650 XT ore the Yamaha Grizzly 700 Fi. How do these two machines compare in terms of a work ATV? I am planning on using it in the woods for hauling/dragging trees & stumps, running a Plot Master plow around, etc...

| | I have used the 650xt and an 06 660 Griz. While both are great machines, I enjoy the Grizzly because it rides great, turns in tight areas better, and turns easier overall better. But for work They would both be pretty comparable as we have used both of ours for moving trees, and pulling stuff out of the timber. Torque and HP seem pretty equal. |

| Let me tell you this, it has all the power you will ever need. I just put 700km on my 2007 Outlander 650 Max XT and its the best ride I ever had. Last weekend we went to cut some firewood, and had to haul some huge logs out to the cutting area near the trailer. And dragging them behind was a charm, it made its true power come out. I also took a 21foot boat out of the water at the boat ramp cause the F150 rear wheels just spun out tringOtherwise trail riding is great, hill climbing no problem, all the weight is centered low, even though it has 12 inch clearence, very nimble. And on 2 wheel drive the rear wheels will keep spinning out till you hit 70km on a full throtle start. So torque and HP's lots of that!!! 33% more power then the Grizz. Anyway I look at it Can-Am's are the Bombs. And buy the way there are lots of accecories that can be bolted on, rear open box, snow plow, Snow tracks Apache(gotto buy those this winter) and lots more. It took me some time also to choose wich one I should buy I was also looking at the Polaris X2, cause I wanted a 2Up ATV, but there was a couple things I didn't like about it so went with what I have now one true workhorse.

| im an owner of a 650xt. and all i have to say is this quad has power and rides nice. as for working quad. sure it can do the job but after working it for a little bit. it tends to heat up.
