I agree with the post concerning new machines. Avoid them. I bought a 1996 Yamaha 400 4x4 for $1800 in rough cosmetic shape, but excellent mechanically. I had to replace the tires (eBay can yeild new ones at 50% or less than retail price - people put oversized tires on new machines and sell the original ones for pennies on the dollar)

With the new rubber, We hauled 100 cords of wood out of a swamp with it, pulled pickups out of the mud and I swear it could climp trees.

we also have a Honda Fourtrax 250 4x4, and I think this is the right machine for you. Standard shifting, no hi-lo range, just 5 forward and 1 reverse. Simple, MUCH less expensive than many others, and my kid's favorite machine. It'll haul a fencsing trailer at 1 mph, or zip up to 40 after a cow.

2wd is cheaper, but if you got ANY mud or want to use it in snow, it won't do what you want as well.
