A straight-talking guide to choosing between Honda and Yamaha
We only sell Honda and Yamaha for one reason: they're the two brands that consistently hold up to real agricultural and utility use. Both are excellent choices - the right one for you comes down to how you'll actually use it, not which badge looks better. Here's how we'd talk it through if you called us.
A quad bike bought for the wrong job is the most common regret we see - here's a starting point
Feed runs, fencing, livestock checks, general utility use day in, day out.
Look at: A Honda TRX420 or TRX520 - built for exactly this, with excellent parts availability if anything ever needs fixing.
Muck heap runs, towing a small trailer, manoeuvring around a yard.
Look at: A Yamaha Grizzly or Kodiak - strong towing capacity and smooth, predictable power at low speed around people and horses.
Rough ground, early starts, reliability matters more than anything else.
Look at: Either brand, but prioritise a manual or electric-shift model over DCT auto - simpler to maintain yourself out in the field.
Getting started without overspending, still wanting something dependable.
Look at: An older Honda TRX420 FM1/FM2 or a Yamaha Grizzly 350 - simple, proven, and cheaper to insure and run.
Not sure which of these fits? Call us and we'll talk it through - no pressure, no sales pitch.
No clutch, no gear changes - just twist and go. The easiest to learn on and the most relaxed for long days, though slightly more complex if something ever needs repairing.
A clutch lever and foot-shift gears, much like a motorbike. Simpler mechanically, often cheaper to buy, and popular with anyone who wants to keep maintenance straightforward.
A middle ground - push-button gear changes without a clutch lever, but a more mechanically simple system than full DCT auto.
