Hey there! I'm new here looking for feedback on an upcoming purchase.
I'm looking to buy an ATV for my wife. She primarily uses it to drag a horse arena, spray for weeds with a rear-mounted sprayer, tow a 650 lb. mower, and just play around on the 10 acres she rides on.
I've narrowed it down to 3 units, all new. They are a 2017 Outlander 570 DPS on sale for $5,899, a 2018 Outlander 450 DPS at $6,599, and a 2017 Honda Rancher DCT EPS on sale for $6,299.
She's a petite gal currently using a 2005 Arctic Cat 300 4x4 & I'm concerned the 570 DPS might be too much machine but the price seems by far the best value. Also wondering how much more the maintenance might cost on the v-twin?
I'm looking for feedback on known issues relating to these 3 units and suggestions and reasonings for which to buy. Also, is buying a warranty extending the standard 6 months worth it?
Many thanks in advance.
