Home Forums Gear Horses and ATV's Bought a New 2023 Yamaha Kodiak 700 EPS

I'm a Yamaha slut - any/all powersports I start and end with them. Good choice on the quad.

I hate that they're getting out of sleds because by the time I'm ready to buy a new one - the SRX will no longer be available and I'll have to buy the Arctic Cat Thundercat - which is ok, exact same sled except Yamaha puts better clutches on their version. 200hp on a 500lb machine. #wheelies (it's tunable to 300HP, turbo 4 cylinder, 998 cc monster)

As to racks: What we like is this for wood and hauling -

Window well mounted to 2 boards and then the boards u-bolted to the factory rack. From the rear it will look like a giant "U" with the curved sides up.

IDGAF about "factory recommended weight" - load it, be smart that the front end gets light with weight and go about your business. Did this on a Timberwolf for, literally, 30 years and now it's set up on the Big Bear.

The curled edge of the well would be forward on the rack. Cut wood to stove size and lay in the well. Throw rubber bungees over the top and creep it out of the woods on the quad. Can also lay a deer in there like holding a baby.



This year - didn't have it on the quad, see how the deer just splays out over the ends? Folding it up in the well would have stopped a lot of that. Again bungee it in, creep out. Saves the back.
