I've got back into quading after being out for a few years. I have always loved sport quads and had a 400ex then a Can Am DS450x. After selling those because I was out of work a few years ago I had the opportunity to buy my buddy's 400ex dirt cheap to just have and recently started actually riding. Any ways I learned the hard way that sport quads are fun but on rutted, soggy trails the clutch sucks and 2wd doesn't cut it. I never once thought I would say this but I am selling the 400ex and buying a used 4x4 utility quad.
Now this brings me to my actual question. Do I sell the 400 for around 2kish and buy an older beat around quad like a late 90's/early 00's Foreman 400 for the same money, (Also this plan involves buying a new machine in a couple years and having both. I am really drawn to the new Rubicons) orrrr do I sell the 400 and throw in another 1k or so for a decent quad that will be my sole Braap toy? I would be looking into a 2004+ Rubicon 500 for options 2. Options 1 is an older quad with a new one coming in a couple years.
