Hello everyone,
Hope I am doing this correctly, new to posting things. I have just recently picked up a 2001 Max IV for dirt cheap. The previous owner moonlighted as a "butcher". I was impressed by this site and just had to join to learn more and "pick as many brains" as I can. I live in southern WI, love to hunt anything and everything. Tinkering is my second life. Look forward to many discussions with everyone. Many questions to come.
Thanks, Jon.

Hi Jon, welcome to the site. Congratulations on finding a good deal on your Max IV.

I've been trying to educate myself with the 6X6 world which brought me to this site. I've always rode ATVs but have yet to move to the AATV. Theres a local Max IV I'm going to look at later on this week and was hoping to get some feedback on what its worth.. I believe its a mid 90's (has the round headlights) but wont know for sure until I look at it. It has the winch, roll cage, and windshield. Looks like stock 22" tires from the pics. It also has the 20 HP Kohler. Asking price is $3750. Let me know what you think.

Hi John, welcome to the site. Without seeing the Max or knowing what condition it is in, it's hard to say what it is worth. If it is in good shape, $3750 is not a terrible price but I have seen newer Max IV's with the 27HP motor and 26" tires sell in the low-to-mid $4000 range. I don't want to steer you away from buying it but just know some of the other options out there. If I were you and the Max looks good when you go look at it, I would offer $2500 and work up from that.

Howdy!
I grew up riding and racing dirt bikes in California, then racing go-carts, and have been riding old BMW's for the past 30 years. Last week I sold my last BMW and started looking for a new retirement project and came across something I'd never seen before - a Snowco Fast Scat thing for use on a farm. So I bought it to restore. Now I'll be looking for others who might have insights into where to find parts for this old toy, or have suggestions of how to restore it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Valentine, welcome to 6x6 World. It sounds like you have the perfect place for a 6x6 to live. Good luck in your search.

Hi. I'm new here. I've been putzing with my new-used Playcat.

Hi vlinker, welcome to the site. Every time I see a video of a Playcat, they always look like a blast to drive around.

Hello, today I bought my first amphibious atv. However, I bought one without a transmission so if anybody has a T-20 transmission for a MAX IV send me a message I enjoy working on projects so I look forward to getting mine up and running. I have plenty of land and a creek and some swampy areas behind my house, I cant wait to get out there and explore. I am also looking for some accessories to add to my new toy so if you have a roll cage you can message me too. Nice meeting everybody!
