WEll i think iv had enough with the 300 and geting stuck even with the new spidertracks on the back im geting stuck and im sick of it i think its time to sell it and get a 4x4. Anyone got an good 4x4 recomendation im thinking a foreman 400 but i dont know. How much should i ask for my 300ex its got new headlights gonna have renthals spider track tires brand new and maxxis from tires have stocks that go with it pced frame black aftermarket ignition and light switch ect what you think i could get for it it doesnt smoke runs great never had a mechanical dificulty with it. Its a 99 also

the foremans are ok machines but the suspension is limited, and doesnt have the power or ground clearance of the grizzly or rincon

as for a price for you're 300 its hard to tell without pics but i'd say 3500ish

yea i was thinking more like 3000 but why i like to ride mud cause its fun and its all that is around here there is no way to adoid it up here in new england so iv decided to pay up and buy a 4x4 cause ill be able to use it at work towing trailors then in the winter ill put a plow on it i think. As for a 4x4 i have no idea what im going to get but it is going to definitly be a manual shift I HATE AUTOMATIC so it kinda limits me because i think a foreman 450 is going to be to expensive. So i think ill prolly end up with a 95 foreman now just to clean up the 300 and sell it

you will miss the sport life! trust me i have had 4x4s and yes they are fun for awhile playing in the mud and all but it does get old quick and when you get that ig 500-800 lb machine on you you will change your mind! my suggestion to you is to get a 400ex and get you some big jumps and have some fun ;)

I half agree with your comments but up here in new england there arnt an big jumps and every trail year round has the hugest mudholes youve ever seema and im just geting sick of diging my self out every 2 mins.its getting old fast and i just dont know weather its worth it anymore. Since i could use a 4x4 year round at work towing trailors moving tools / hay then in the winter i could through a plow on it make some money then i could still ride it and have fun and not get stuck plus im just not enjoying the proformance of the 300 it seems its just not fun anymore plus im not enjoying riding anymore cause its like ok so how long before i get stuck again. Anyone see were im coming from? Maybe its just my mood but i think tom night im gonna clean it up realy good and stick it on the road just to see if i can anyhting for it. Worth a shot at least
Ill hate to see it go but all good things come to and and sometime

as for no jumps in new england theres only jumps where you make them

jolly rodger cant be too far, they have a sweet track there

whoever said that the 4x4 are no fun. i think not my friend has a rancher it goes threw any mud, past the fenders. he jumps climbs hills. jumps jumps and more jumps. he has the rancherES and the electronic shifting is a pain in the ars. it always shorts out and dont work. dont get and ES if you get a utility. ill post some pics of what hes done on it so far. the only problems he had on it was the ES shifting and he cracked the frame from jumping. and broke the back axle jumping.

I like my TRX 300 4x4 (its a Rancher...), its a bit low on the power when you get higher up, but a few mods and your ready to go! And then some shock upgrades later will let you ride it harder. Even a 2x4 Rancher would be pretty sweet (if you can get the 350 all the better). Good luck! You could go with a wolverine... But look into it :D
