Sierra Trail Boss

I have the opportunity to buy a sierra trail boss that was converted to an 18 HP thumper. I am an attex guy, and dont know too much about them. What is the general consensus? Thanks.

My opinion if it counts is it is a cool machine but does have a few problems with the transmission and don't offroad as well as the others. The transmissions seem to go bad but I believe it is because they counter rotate and its easy to put in reverse while still going forward. The nose takes any approach angle away and they only fit a smaller 20" tire I believe. That creates ground clearance issues. But a few members on the site have them and really seem to enjoy them. Depends on what your looking to get and how cheap you can get them I guess. As with any machine they have flaws in certain areas and are better in others.

Hi Larry.
Thank you for the input. The asking price was 800.00. The seller stated the tub was in good shape, but I think based on what you are telling me I am going to pass. I saved a T-20 on the side for myself before I had to get rid of all of my machines. I guess I will keep waiting until an attex or a hustler comes around. I have been in 6 wheel withdrawal for over a year. Finally saved enough to get another machine. I will keep looking. I hope all is well. Talk to you soon. Thanks again.
