Anyone About ATV ?

http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/snw/4979315076.html Can this pull a garden cart? Was looking for a used tractor and came across this, what I like is it says will rip up ground

@Nyboy it says it WILL NOT tear up ground. If you can figure out how to add a hitch it will pull a garden cart and then some.

Ours has a hitch and I drag all kinds of things around with it. We have a small trailer ( 4x4) that I load up with hay and feed bags, garden debris, manure, small boulders, you name it. I just have to be careful to load the heaviest stuff over the trailer axle because the ATV can't take a lot of weight on the hitch.
Looks like a good deal. I'd buy it for $1000.

HEY @Nyboy it looks like Craigslist is as dangerous to you wallet as nurseries! (I was just going to look!)

That can for sure pull a cart, so can a garden tractor, that would come at a lower price.
Be sure to let us know if you pick that up.

The girls have tractors, lawn tractors, they can pull a small trailer with bales of hay, manure or whatever.

Understand it is belt driven so it will pull whatever the belt can withstand. Belt will break (or slip) before you run out of power. Understand used can be more expensive than new if parts are worn out. Generator can be $300-500, starter could be worse. Battery-$100, you get the idea. If it has been used for mudding, could have some tranny problems. Buy it cheap, buyer beware. Ask to see title as could be stolen. Not trying to scare you.

Friend bought a used Polaris Ranger, got it home and put over $700 in it-son is mechanic so not sure of normal cost. Bought it cheap enough he was fine.

Carol you have know idea how right you are !!! Not going to look at it only 2 wheel drive, gets pretty muddy down around pond. Have a old sears tractor from the 70s might look into restoring it.

I think one of my biggest mistakes was not buying that old tractor, right before the break in.
