I have the Yamaha 350 Bruin that I use and I don't have any problems with other club members riding by on their way to their stand. Have watched deer stand and wait for the ATV to pass and continue on their way. I did put a Benz Silencer on the Bruin and it did cut the noise about 60%, so I'm making less noise than the V-8 Diesel 4x4s driving down the roads. If the stand is back from the access roads, I ride the Bruin; if not, I walk and the Bruin comes out of the truckbed, if I take a deer. Yamaha 350 Bruin:

Good looking 4 wheeler Swampbird.I see you were smart and put a winch on it.Mine has paid for itself on more then one occassion.My Polaris weighs almost 700 pounds.More then I can push or pull .When I have time I'll have to take pictures of the hitch set up I made and the cargo basket that slids in it.I had it coming straight off the back but it was to low dragging and hanging up especially with any weight on it. A friend and I made a "Z" to raise it almost even with my tail light. What an improvement.I can go anywhere and not hang up.It was nice when it was lower as far as lifting a deer up.We've load a couple on it since it's raised. Not to bad with two people lifting it.

I hunt alone during mid-week and won't be 4wheeling without a winch. Too much weight to try and wrestle with. I have a 2in. yellow nylon strap I use as a Tree-Wrap to attach the cable to and some 1in. orange nylon straps I use as a deer-drag. The blue strap is the cable- pull. Benz Silencer attached to rear rack.... Weather cover attached to rackbag and stuffs into zippered compartment beneath bag with cushion material....

My partner and I both have thought about getting the Benz Silencers.We both have treestand carriers on back.With the silencer on it looks like our treestand carriers would become obsolete.I have a U-tote-em (sp?) on mine.I brought my Polaris home last trip. Yesterday I serviced it again. It's been a very wet and muddy season so far.These 4 wheelers cost to much to let fall apart.One thing about the Polaris's they weren't stingy when they put grease zerks on it. Everywhere you look there's one.
