'99 Kawasaki Bayou 220. Bought it new in August of '98, and it is used mostly just for hauling deer out of the woods. It has hauled out tons of deer, and one time 3 at once. One on the front and 2 on the rear. I like it's small size as it allows me to snake through the woods where the big machines cannot.

 

Other than normal maintenance and batteries, I have only had to clean out the carburetor one time over the years. I put an inline gas filter in it after that, and never a problem since. She is an oldie, but a goody.

 

Here are a couple shots of it when I was turkey scouting a few weeks back.

Im probably going to get something similar to this soon. Sold the Polaris, it needed a lot of work done and it just wasn't worth spending the money on. I like the smaller utility atvs. I've owned a recon, a timberwolf, and a Suzuki Ozark. Probably get another recon, looking for one with electric shift. I like the smaller size being able to get in tight spaces easier and maneuver better. Most are pretty peppy, just lack top end speed but about 45-50 is probably as fast as they can safely handle anyway. The light weight makes them feel pretty sporty too and helps if you get stuck, just get off and push it out.

2014 Polaris Ranger 800 LE ... It's still stock, but I do have a few toys on my Christmas list.

 

She's getting a 4500# front winch, when she goes in for her first service ... Anything you think might be cool to do with it, shoot me a link in a PM.

Here are some pics of my Kawasaki KFX700's. Both are far from stock. The red one is a 715cc with custom cams, a 40-shot of nitrous, and a +8" extended swing arm among many other mods. The blue one has a built motor as well, just not as aggressive. I also have 2 more that I just picked up to build up for trails because these 2 mostly ride only sand with the occasion trip to the sand drags, grass drags, or ice drags.

This is my 2011 Honda Foreman. Simply put, this is a great work horse. It has hauled home many loads of firewood, taken me trail riding, and on hunting trips. It might not be the smoothest ride out there with the solid rear axle, but I love this machine.

It has the factory windshield, 4000lb Warn Vantage winch, Aluminum under armor (with stick guards), QuadBoss deluxe rear seat, both rear/front bumpers have been LineX'ed, Garmin GPS (with RAM mount), and Kenda Bear Claw tires. I love this time of the year the best as it allows me to spend time on the back of this bike hunting and firewood cutting.

Spent 20 years on a cotton farm before I got it from my grandfather. The kids think it is cool because I have pictures of me and my brother on it when we were about 5 yrs old; It was in a little better shape back then. Never been in the motor. Still runs like a champ.

    • More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade. 
    • Thanks for the point of reference 
    • Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends. 
    • 185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
