can't go wrong with a honda for reliability IMO. I have always heard that they are hard to start in cold temps. Are the new ones any better?

Intentions at this point are ice fishing(don't have a wheel house so just pulling 1 or 2 flip style houses), hunting and possibly some smaller towing/working jobs and a little joy riding. Haven't had anything since I was a kid and ripped around on a Honda Big Red 3 wheeler on the farm. Wish I knew how many miles I put on that thing, it was a ton and aside from brake cables it always ran. I do have a snowblower on my garden tractor so if the snow is deep I will be using the blower but it would be nice to have a blade for those times we get just a little snow and it just doesn't pay to start up the blower. I'm semi rural and when the wind blows sometimes there's just a few small drifts to move. 2 accessories I'm thinking are a must would be the winch and a windshield. Obviously if I get a plow I will need the winch.

I use my 99 foreman 450 for the ice. Love it. Is it the fastest? Nope. Most comfortable to ride? Nope. Is it reliable? Yep. Did a 30 mile run on lake of the woods this past Saturday. I knew my battery was getting a bit weak earlier in the season... go to unload, won’t start. No worries, two pulls on the pull start, fires right up. If your pulling a portable, a lighter machine is just fine.

Picked it up this morning. Been playing around in the yard with it and love it so far! Can't wait to put it to good use.
