I am looking to get a 4 wheeler this fall and don’t really know much about them. I will use it primarily for hunting and ice fishing. Right now I have a flip over style ice house and a Jetsled to pull out if I take a hub style house. What are things I should be looking for in a 4 wheeler, power steering, heated grips and other options that you find worth the money. My plan for hunting is to use it to pull a flatbed trailer to set decoys, same trailer I haul it on. I’m thinking the 500 size range is as small as I would go. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

You may not get in the situations that I do in the bush, so take that into consideration, but if I ordered a new machine today this is what I would need to be completely satisfied:
Start out with a big frame machine, something with good clearance.
Tall tires with somewhat aggressive tread.
Power is not usually an issue for me, so whatever is standard with that model as long as it is a fuel injected engine.
Definitely power steering, once you have had it, you won't be without it.
Handwarmers.
Winches are one of the most important items to me, I have no use for wimpy winches. I would buy a quality 4000# winch for the front and one for the back, you want rope, not cable.
Pick a brand that will give you good dealer support and you will be set for years to come.
