Quad to pull flail mower - Eiger, Kodiak, Big Bear ?

[Fonne]

Hi 

Is looking for a quad to pull a flail mower as my first priority, but also a bit of fun. 

So its going to be pulling a flail mower on high grass / weed on a bumpy field at pretty low speed. 

My budget is not high, so is mostly looking at a old Yamaha Kodiak 400cc / Suzuki Eiger 400cc or similar. 

What machine would you recommend  ?  - Really want a solid machine since I am no mechanic but can perform a early service myself. 

(English is not my native, hope it makes sense)

Both the Kodiak and Eiger are good machines. Depending on the year but I would probably pick the Kodiak and maybe look for a Kodiak 450

Thanks. 

Both the Eiger and Kodiak are sadly not offen for sale here in Denmark, its not like I have 3x Kodiak 400 and 3x Eiger 400 for sale at the same time. 

The last Kodiak 400 i found was sold  very fast and was from 1998, and right now I can find a Eiger 400 for sale in my price range, thats from 2003. 

Has not seen many Kodiak 450 for sale, and all pretty high asking prices. 

But just happy to know if I get either a Kodiak or a Eiger that has been serviced I should have a machine that can do the job without problems.

Make sure whatever you get to tow your mower will go slow enough to not bog down the mower engine.

Personally I would get something with a manual trans like a kawasaki bayou for pulling at low speeds. Anything with a CVT trans, that is going to be hard on belts at those speeds.
