... I do have a problem with water collecting in the recoil case which rusts the starter despite having the recoil firmly over the opening for the rope. This ATV is the only one with a nice high light which is great when you are plowing snow. All the others have them low and thus you can't see when the plow is elevated. The body is durable as can be. I know, I have rolled it a couple of times. It is a heavy machine however and difficult to get off your body when it lands on you. The ride is awsome, especially for me as a...more
