I should reiterate, for herding cattle, cutting them out of the mob etc

Ok, perhaps I should have said a little more about what Im after.. Im looking for a quad that will cover decent distance, (beaches and bush etc), over un chartered terrain, whilst being able to carry enough food for a few nights out, a swag and poss my dog, be very good on fuel and leave little trace. A Fourby can't do this without smashing itself and the surroundings up. A quad with a bit of careful driving can duck in and out of bush land and trundle along a beach leaving little markings. :)

You need one of these :)

Even those of us who don't need one want one... Have you looked at the Kawasaki Mule? They are available with a 900cc straight triple diesel, might be ok in the Haffie?

Used to trial these with the AWDC years ago. Surprising where they'd go. Used to c them fall over a bit tho! :)

I have one of these, twin air locked, 133:1 in low first on 32" tyres. Fun with a 2 stroke engine but more useful with a diesel.

They'd want to have some good points,brainiac designed the oil filter position. :mad: Pat

So I did it!!! Bought one, and now I've covered 25kms on it and love it! It goes better than I'd thought it would, and I spent ten min chasing the neighbour on his 400cc petrol and he couldn't loose me! SWMBO even had a smile on her face when she was tanking around the paddock at 50+ kmh!! Win win!! :)

Here's a great video of three Diesel Arctic Cat 700's exploring some amazing scenery! Can't wait to find similar!
