BUSHWHACKING – WHAT TO BUY?

I am looking into purchasing a new quad/ATV. It will mainly be used in the Precambrian Shield/Boreal Forest (northern Saskatchewan) for exploration work. I will be making my own trails, weaving around and over trees, in low-range. And then when I get from point A to B, I will probably drive back to point A and then tow a small trailer back to point B. I will probably have a passenger when doing this.

A couple of options that I have been looking at are the 2026 Can-Am Outlander Max Pro XU and the 2026 Honda Rubicon 520 DCT Deluxe. One is larger than the other and they both have different types of transmissions.

If any of you have had experience creeping around the forest with either these two machines or something similar I would like to know which one you would choose over the other and why.

Is one transmission going to jumpier than the other, taking into consideration that I will be driving in low range?

Will one have a better turning radius?

Will they stay cool at low speed?

Since I am not using it for trail riding, should I be looking at taller and/or wider tires for creeping around the bush?

Your comments are much appreciated.

Thanks.

      Do You Use GPS For ATV Trails?
      By Admin
      Does anyone use GPS, whether on a device or app to record their ATV trail rides? I have been thinking about a section where our members can upload let's say a .gpx file and share their rides on a google map for others to see where there are riding areas. Not sure if this is something of interest or how much it would be used, so just trying to get an idea.
      Importing routes from files like xml, lmx, tour, freshroute, gpx, kmz, kml

      LOOKING FOR: Used OEM Carb, 1995 King Quad
      By 95kingQuad
      As the title says I am on the search for a used OEM 1995 King Quad Carb. I believe it says Mikuni on the side. If you could even help me find info on which carb it is exactly that would be helpful too, or motorcycles/other quads that use the same carb. Thanks!

      Looking for Reliable Heavy Equipment & ATV Repair Manuals Online
      By roggers
      Hi everyone,
       I often work on both ATVs and larger construction equipment, and I’m always on the hunt for solid OEM manuals—service, repair, and parts. The usual searches give a lot of random PDFs or unofficial scans that aren’t very trustworthy.
      What online sources do you all use when you need a factory manual quickly? Are there sites you’ve found that consistently provide genuine OEM content for ATVs or heavy machinery?
      I recently came across Heavy Equipment Manual, which claims to provide verified OEM service and parts manuals (covering brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, Kubota, etc.). Has anyone here tried it, or do you have other go-to resources you’d recommend?
      I’m interested in options that are:
      ·        Fast to download
      ·        Cover both heavy equipment and ATV models
      ·        Clear on licensing and safety
      Thanks for sharing your experiences and any recommendations!

      Looking for new Northern California riders!
      By DAVIDH
      Hello my name is David, I have been riding for over 30 years ATV, dirt bikes, S x S you name it. I ride with a small group off and on though out the years. Currently, we have only three of us that have been riding this year and we are looking for more people to join us!
      If you're in the Northern California area and looking for people to join on weekend and day trip rides send me an email: [email protected]! We have been to many OHV sites all over the state and we usually try to meet up for a ride once a month. 
      I look forward to hearing from you!

      Southeast Georgia trails
      By Ejwill
      I live about an hour west of Savannah and was wondering if anyone knew of places to ride in this area. Only place I know of is in North Georgia, about 4.5-5 hours from my house. Would like to find something closer.
