edit: cheap quad winches work well on the little suzukis too!

no it will not keep up with a quad but it is very capeable.

Why would you weld them when a lock right is only a couple of hundred dollars for the suki if it is a DD?

You could also flat tow a suzuki if you wanted to with no issues (Transfercase in N as described in the manual) especially if it had an open rear diff (or manual locking) or you made a full floater axle with locking hubs for the rear. on ours there is a towbar hookup so it can be towed behind a motorhome etc .

we just keep a comealong and rope in the tracker when we go out and that is good for most things

I use a quad for getting around my hunting area and then hit the dirt with my feet. I have found that many of the best hunting grounds can not be accessed by anything bigger than an ATV. I also prefer the visability you get on the quad apposed to being in a truck or jeep. An ATV is also cheap on fuel.

I wouldn't weld a daily driver I was talking about a dedicated hunting truck.

who needs a quad when you own a jeep...it fits down most quad trails its got a heater and for the most part your protected from the elements and i welded up a nifty cargo rack thats 5x stronger then those store bought ones for like 1/4 of the cost and i can stack numerous animals on it
