So I know this forum is aimed at bigger stuff but I just wondered... I'm shortly moving in to a house that has some land attached to it and I want something to tool around in/on offroad. As far as my wife believes this will be for carrying out maintenance, collecting wood etc but actually I just want it for my own amusement. The land is quite steeply sloped and wooded to the sides and can get quite marshy in the middle. I was debating between an old 8x8 argocat or a 4x4 farm/utility quad and just wondered if anyone has experiences of either that could help with the choice. Thank you!

Thank you both very much for your thoughts. It does sound more in favour of the Argo generally. I'll have about 14 acres so not a huge area to cover and a lot of it will be on quite soft ground or slopes. Plus I want to be able to carry fencing materials, wood and humans rather than needing speed. That 8x8 looks a beast - so does the quad for that matter.
