Quad
Don't have to be all singing and dancing, will be used by our lass for going up n down field, maybe would have too tow a small trailer from time
too time, anyone got anything suitable lurking around ?
Any tips too be had, don't know a lot about them, guess 4 stroke would be best with an auto box ?

I'm pretty sure with a blade motor she may just flip the front over.........
Ive had a look on ebay but it looks like a minefield for someone like me who's not in the know, there are hundreds.......

How old is she?
I had a Suzuki LT80 when I was younger. Small, nippy but not fast, easily maintained. 2-Stroke but mixes by itself. I had one for 6 years and nothing
went wrong.
I sold my LT80 after 6 years for £1100, it cost £1600 new.
Alternatively there are plenty of 4-stroke quads made by lesser known companys, quite a few of which use the same running gear and engines. A lot of
these have been known to fail under hard use.

I saw one on the road in Newark the other day and thought the same. It had number plates and all? The driver and passenger (or should that be rider
and pillion?) were not wearing helmets - Maybe they're classed like trikes?

Are you sure that a quad is a good idea?
It take one wheel to dig in and it could flip right over. the centre of gravity is to high.
I found a ferguson tractor in this months practical classics that could be a alternative.
Only 16 and i have already had my midlife crisis

I only managed to roll my quad once, that was taking a corner across a gradient far too fast in my garden. It didnt weigh much, and it just sat on top
of me in a bush. I pushed it off, hopped back on and carried on.
