Quad Bike Recommendations

    I'm looking to buy a new quad bike over the next 2 months or so. Currently we have a Hondo Fourtrax (think that is the model). Standard size, two wheel drive, belt driven and petrol engine. Only about 2 years old.
    It is used for at home for some light carrying of equipment around the yard and field and maybe pulling a small trailer at times. Not something you would try to use to pull heavy loads, only two wheel drive and would have the biggest of engines.
    We are looking at investing in a larger quad bike. Must be four wheel drive and have the decent pulling power. Would be used on sites where normal vehicles are not allowed due to the nature of the work involved. A loading area at the back that can tip would be a huge advantage. Preferably diseal also.
    A couple of weeks ago we looked at a John Deer quad. About €12,000 including vat. This had a back loading area that tipped and included front bull bars. Four wheel drive. Space to seat two people. Petrol engine. The sales man wasn't the best he was unsure about many details so it he didn't do a great job at selling it to us. Plus a diseal engine would be better in the long run. The John Deer quad we looked at only had front lights. Rear lights are a must due to saftey regulations for us.
    If anyone has any experience with large quads and could recommend a dealer anywhere in Ireland it would be a great help.

    Thanks.
