Thanks, I feel its my obligation to look out for the elderly. DM you really have 11k on your Brute?

I appreciate that you do that. Thank you.

Yes I do. I did replace the stator and fuel pump at about 8000 miles, other than that it has been 100% trouble free.
I don't beat or abuse it. I used Valvoline 10w40 ATV oil for the first 5000 miles and then switched over to Kawasaki 10w40 full synthetic and WIX XP oil filters. I change the oil, oil filter and replace the air filter with a OE air filter every 500 miles.

As far as I can tell it runs as good as it did the day I bought it. Its been an excellent machine.

I've thought about putting a plow on several of my ATV's, but never actually got around to it. Maybe one of these winters.....

Ive honestly used it maybe 3 or 4 times the last 4 years. Our winters have been very weak lately.

That's all you have to do if you want it to stop snowing.

The 11's were outside today....for 15 minutes, anyway. Finally thawing out, but they still can't go anywhere because now it's sloppy. (Actually I suppose they don't get dirty riding in deep snow, but how do you avoid water all over the floor when they come back in?)

These 2 were born just a few weeks apart. Kawie (blue one) was built 08/02/2010 while Camo was built 09/15/2010, but Camo was in service 11/26/10, while Kawie didn't get sold until 04/08/2011. Their tires are dated the same week. All of my Kawasaki's were built before their model year.
