Howdy
Just joined the forum. Looking to buy a Grizzly and doing some research. Have access to a 150 acre property with lots of trails, mostly flat and wooded with lots of mud and swamp.
Any suggestions on what I should get appreciated (tending to the 700 EPS Grizzly.)

I stay the heck away from mud myself if possible, but a lot of people on here like it and they seem to have real good luck with the Grizzly due to its light weight, good power and the locking front differential among other things.
I don't like the front differential on the Kawasaki, but I believe it is a pretty good bike, Honda doesn't have front diff lock, Polaris has good stuff, but some feel it is too heavy and I know absolutely nothing about the Suzuki.
I obviously prefer the Grizzly, but I am sure others can give you more detailed information on the pros and cons; good luck.

Welcome to the site. Don't expect too many recommendations that tell you to buy something other than the grizzly, but they will be right. I've had a Suzuki and I ride with some that have Popos and Hondas. I'll tell you flat out, would trade the Grizz for any of them. If you want to drag race, go for the Can Am. Otherwise, you are on the right track. Really the only decision you have to make is "Do I get the 700 with EPS" or "Do I get something else and wish I got the 700 with EPS later"?

Welcome Aboard
Definitely get a Grizzly.
700 or 550?
EPS or non-EPS?
Pay the extra and get the 700 w/ EPS...or regret it later!!!

Thanks for all the great comments.
I got a Jeep Rubicon stuck on the farm(TG for the winch), so I probably can do the same with a Grizzly (expect to add a winch).
Looking at used Grizzly's on eBay and will keep everyone posted.

I wanted to welcome you and to comment on you looking for a Grizz. I have an 06 660 and an 05 King Quad, and I recently bought an 08 700 Grizz-camo w/ eps and 27" ITP xtr Mudlites on the e-bay Grizzly site. I love the 08 but I believe they turned back the odometer and hour meter. The front brakes were metal on metal and I dont think you could do that in 1200 miles. Otherwise I am happy that I did it. I dont believe you can do better than a Grizzly 700 with eps.

I have seen it happen in 800 miles so it is possible. It happened to me in 1400 miles.

I got beat to death on my Honda Foreman 500 ES. Any GRIZ I'm sure will ride smoother than that Foreman will. Power steering is SWEET.. thick padded seat is nice too. 65 mph is plenty for me so I got a real good buy on a GRIZ 550 EPS brand new 6499.00
