When I bought this quad, I never intended to do anything but scrap it. Here’s a video clip of me unloading it at my shop: It looked fairly junky and I didn’t have any specific interest in it at the time, so it was unloaded and hauled around back where it stayed for a few months. I purchased a group of ATV’s in south east Arkansas and this one was in the lot. I stumbled into it almost unintentionally. In contrast, the 350 Moto-4, while industrial at heart with it’s Hi/Lo 10-Speed transmission, is more of a general purpose utility ATV. The other innovative spin-off was the Pro Hauler, which utilized what is considered the first ATV cargo bed. It had a variety of very functional attachments available from Yamaha, such as a rough cut mower, finish mower, tiller, etc. One of these was the Terrapro which had, to my knowledge, the only Power Take Off (PTO) available on a four wheeler. This was a very heavy-duty machine, and as such there were some very interesting industrial variations of it that were groundbreaking in the industry. I love old machines! These bikes were the predecessor to the 2WD version of the Big Bear. I completed an interesting project a while back.
