I've got a 500 Sportsman and a 4x6 trailer that I can pull behind it or load the ATV on and pull with my pickup. That way when I go somewhere, I can either have the ATV alone or hook hte trailer up and haul stuff. In the winter or when I wean calves I can put up to 24 buckets on the trailer and haul feed. Gave $199 for the trailer at TSC several years ago.
My service trucks are two wheel drive, so I can hook up the trailer to the truck, haul to jobsite and unload ATV hook up the trailer and haul everything from bathtubs to cattle waterer setting equipment. I personally like the ATV better than I did the mule, just for getting around, chasing cows, dragging thuough the mud, etc. But the mules have their place also. gs
