Re: Mini buggy front diff
I don't know what size engine you are planning on running, but I've got a Kodiak 400 4x4 and a Grizzly 600 4x4 utility quads. . .and I pull all sorts of stuff with them without a problem (other than the front end wanting to lift when starting from a dead stand still). I've pulled everything around the house up to and including a 1-ton '49 Jeep Willy's pick-up truck with a 350/350/D18 combo. That's a pretty heavy rig compared to the quad and I haven't had any issues with the quads (quads are 8 years old at this point).
Like I said I don't know what engine you're gonna use, but I think (based on personal experience) that the ATV/UTV stuff will be up to the task. . .as long as you aren't pulling an entire tree behind you.
I would suggest looking into the Polaris Sportsman 800 quad. . .it's shaft drive so you would already be set with that. I am planning on using this gearbox for my next buggy build.
