First let me start by telling a little about myself, I'm 33 and am a t10/11 paraplegic from a car crash in June 2014. I've been checking out these machines for the last year and a half or so and reading about them off on since I got the idea an aatv would be alot better for me than my fourwheeler, I'm not getting rid of my quad but some things I just think a 6x6 would be much better for, like fishing and hunting and riding in the snow, or in the cold.
Anyhow, I found a few machines within a reasonable distance for a good price maxes hustler Argos attex. And I think my best deal is a max ii I came across about 5 hours from me. I think the ii will be nice because I was 6'2" when I could stand and roughly 360# so I'm pretty big and fat but from what I've read the max ii has the best leg room, a big plus for a guy my size. It also has ROP and a little fabricated bed on back, the ROP would be nice for extra stuff to grab onto getting in and out of the machine, as well as helping prevent me from a brken neck, and the bed would work great for numerous things.
The machine I'm leaning toward the most has a j lo 440 twin. Are these just a time bomb or pretty reliable considering I keep it in time and a decent mix? Is it worth running the 2 stroke or would I be better off selling the 2 stroke and invest in a predator or vanguard? I like the simplicity of 4 stroke but I used to love my 2 stroke dirt bike and I don't mind keeping a separate gas can. I will mostly be putting around the most speed I would ever get would be cruising out the road to go ground hog hunting or just tearing it up in the snow. And my experience with 2 strokes I had they really liked being revved up, can I still putt with the j lo or would I have to keep revving it instead of just going steady?
I hope all this makes sense and can get some insight from the guys running 2 strokes, the machine I'm looking at is almost too nice to pass up for the price, and I'm pretty sure after a 5 hour ride it's going to be coming home with me. Thank you guys for any help and thank you for all the great info on this great group.
