2017 Kodiak EPS SE, picking it up Friday. My first Yamaha other than the camp generator that runs flawless.
Started riding Polaris snowmobiles in 1965 to present, got my 1st Polaris ATV in 1994, decided to try something different to get the reliability you don't get with a Polaris ATV. Was going to go Honda. They last forever right? Sat on the Rubicon and immediately didn't like the foot wells. Canam is just another problem machine from what I've read and just couldn't bring myself to go yellow. So Yamaha it is. We'll see.
Picked the Kodiak SE because I'll use it mostly for hunting and ice fishing and really wanted the diff locker, I've seen to many people stuck with 3 wheel drive machines and it does look pretty cool in the tactical black.
I'm over the swamp running and long dusty trail rides, I just need a good dependable machine that I can go anywhere to pick up a deer or go out on the lake when I can't take a snow machine or a little work now and then.
Adding a winch on the front and will eventually fab up a mount for one on the rear. New, more aggressive tires are on the short list with skid plates and some gear carriers for ice fishing. Hand guards for sure and maybe a removable windshield for the winter.
