  I was surprised when my neighbor called today to offer his ATV to me for $400. He knows VERY LITTLE about mechanical things, or this ATV. He's buying a John Deer ATV tomorrow. This guy seems to have more money than he knows how to spend, but he sure tries, and I'm happy for him. It's only a 350, but I'm thrilled. It will carry my fat butt around. It's manual, but I know how to shift. He didn't know how to shift it. I'm not sure he ever drove it. He bought it last year from a friend of his. I saw him on our court TRYING to ride it yesterday. He thought the break was the clutch. He said the starter didn't work, but I saw there was no wire ran to it. Maybe it does??? I didn't have any problem pull starting it. I'm thrilled and thankful!!! |

It runs good and smoothly. Now I'll be able to hunt and retrieve the deer by myself. While many are so very kind to help me; it sure is nice just go do what you need to do. |

That looks like a nice set up. I've never seen them before. I don't have money for such now, but as long as I can drag the harvest on the trailer, I should be good. |

A rope is real cheap and easy to store when not in use.

SSUUWWWEEETTT!!!! As much as I wouldn't have any other neighbors than the ones I have why couldn't more of us have neighbors like him??? He's Bulgarian, but has been here for about 20 years. He remembers his dad telling him stories about the value of their currency dropping over night, so he doesn't save a lot of money. He spends it while it's worth something. He's always been very good to me, but I get a little nervous going places with him. He doesn't seem to think he has to follow the rules. LOL He knows a lot of cops, and they give him some privileges, but I'd rather just abide by the rules. I'm just so happy that I can retrieve my own deer now. |

I own a 2007 Kawasaki Mule 610 it's great for around the farm but its not as versatile as a quad.
