Hi. I am looking to purchase an ATV for a Bahamian island called Bimini. It is 50 miles from Miami. I am looking for something that will ride the beaches without getting stuck. There is lots of shoreline with some mangroves, vegetation. So will probably need 4x4 for that area. But I ready somewhere that the the extra weight of the 4x4 in the front of an ATV will weigh down traveling on teh beach and make it more susceptible to getting stuck? I would think you'd want 4x4 for beach sand. I would also like to use this ATV to pull a small trailer for bringing trash to the local dump. I am considering the Honda 420 4x4 with foot shift (dont want to fix ES on an Island). I am also considering the Honda Foreman for the pulling capacity but I'm concerned that the extra weight of the Foreman will be prone to getting stuck in beach sand. Anyone have an opinion?
