Where do I start looking for a 3 or 4-wheeler?

Question

My husband's 50th birthday is coming up and I want to surprise him with his dream of getting a 3 or 4-wheeler to tool around our 12 acres. Where do I start? Do we want a 3 or 4 wheeler? Can I get a decent used one somewhere? We live in Blair, NE. Help!

Answer 1

You want a 4-wheeler, they dont make 3-wheelers anymore for good reason, those things are unstable/unsafe. You can try ebay, craigslist, your local paper.  

Answer 2

Try Craigslist.com. Go for a Honda. No matter what year it is, they are good and dependable.

Answer 3

I agree, you do not want a three wheeler.  I am in my 50's and have had many 4 wheel atv's.  You can find decent used ones.  Craigs list is a good place.  If he has never ridden one, I would recommend a Polaris model with an automatic.  You do not have to shift them and they have an automatic clutch.  Just put it in gear and give it the gas.  They are also very sturdy and trouble free.  They also have a reverse and electric start.  Try and find a clean one.  Its pretty obvious when they have been abused.
