With a new Grizzly 700! LOL I sold my 2006 Grizzly 660 before I left Michigan and moved back home. Planning an expedition to Wyoming in 2021 to take my son, brother and nephew there for Mule Deer and Elk. My knees will need help, so I purchased a new mechanical mule to help out. Found a place that had a 2019 left and they made a deal on it. I do blieve the EPS will help out a lot, especially with it in Differential Lock!
Having them install a KFI 3500 winch with synthetic rope before I take delivery on Friday.
Frog---OUT!

I had an 04 660 and bought an 07 700 with FI & PS last year. Be careful with your 3500 winch as it can bend things.

I have an 06 660 and an 11 700 with EPS. Although I love the EPS and apparent softer ride of the 700, I seem to gravitate more towards the 660 when I feel the need for speed..... I’ve still never ridden an ATV I like better than these machines....and I’ve ridden most of the offerings!

Went for a 103 mile ride yesterday on the Grizz. Some play and drifting the back around corners, a lot of stop and go for fishing, but mostly cruised at 30mph. Went 103 miles on 3.2 gallons of gas for 32mpg, wasn't expecting to get that much.

froggy you need to bring that thing back to the lead mine one weekend and ride in east side swamp .lol Ya know, I might just do that....however, I don't plan to use it like those knuckleheads around here that try to run through every bog hole and mud pit they find! I see them tearing up brand new UTV's by hot rodding them in the mud pits and just shake my head.....LOL

Most of our hunting is on public land. I've seen plenty of ATV tracks in the mud holes, of course, but I've never seen evidence of someone deliberately spinning around in one. The cows can sure churn them up nicely, though.

You are right about that! I'm generally switching to 4x4 anytime things start spinning because I don't want to "dawg it out" and make things worse for the rest of the fall/winter. A bad hole in October can be fairly nasty by January.

Agreed! And they seem to enjoy it more the nastier it gets. Sometimes I think it's a badge of honor with them if they do find a mudhole so bad they get stuck! LOL
