Don't rush into buying anything crazy or unique. I suggest a t-20 machine for a first unit. Preferably one with a poly body, but some abs or fiberglass machines are very good as well. I have noticed a few Attex for sale in your area, however, they seem to all be 1st generation machines down that way right now, and I would not recommend a 1st gen Attex as your first or primary machine. The t-20 based units are plentiful and easy to get parts for. An Argo may fit the bill as well, but there have been several different transmissions used, and the older ones can be costly to rebuild if there is an internal problem. If you have any questions or concerns about a specific unit you are interested in, it may be best to post a few pics and ask a couple questions on the site. Just keep in mind the value of an individual unit is somewhat subjective. Most people do not buy/sell enough to realize what the actual fair market value would be and you will have people giving you contradicting information on those types of questions.

thanks for the welcome from what I have already learned here I like the t20 set up prefer the max 4 coop has a max 2 waiting to here from him only problem is about 400 miles apart and I have a old truck with 190000 miles on it hope to get something soon to join you on the trails watched some videos looks like you can stay clean and dry most of the time I am in no big hurry either saw young kids doing some great driving also some 4x4 atvs trying to keep up they are fast and fun but they don't float I am sure to have questions once I get something looking forward to your help
