[QUOTE="CowboyRam, post: 1851788, member: 42312"] Was out with the ditcher this morning cleaning up our waist water ditch. Dad was out watching on the ATV and once I got done I went back to the house to unhook it from the tractor. I look back and I see dad walking down the road, so I hop in the the pickup to see what is up. It turns out he lost the back wheel. Instead to fixing it out there in the middle of the field I decided to drive it home on three wheels dragging the left back axle. After fixing it dad and I went looking out looking at ATV's. At his age he does not need to be walking home; it would take him forever to get back to the house, and he here lately has been having trouble keeping on his feet. We do have him taking physical therapy, and I do think it is helping. I can't complain about the Arctic Cat we have now; dad bought it in 2006, and it has about 16000 hours on it. It leaks oil, and we have lost a back wheel a couple times in the last three years. You might say that we had run the wheels right off that thing, so I think it is time to start looking for a new one. I would not mind a side by side, but just don't want to spend that much. We looked at a couple ATV's today. Arctic Cat for $9000, Yamaha for $8000, and a Polaris $7000. I think dad paid $6000 for the one we have now. [/QUOTE]
