After riding where we do and riding most of the year, I decided I want to enclose it. It was cold, raining and tons of mud. I want to keep that out of the interior and enjoy riding. The other guys we met had great setups and quickly convinced us that is the way to go. This machine is not for our property, too big. I still have our Kodiak ATV for all the work
Almost went for a farm style quad but needed the bed as to not use my lawn tractor pulling my cart, too many hours on the JD. Some creature comforts are great in a utility vehicle, probably helps keep knobs/switches/instruments cleaner/visible.
