ATV Swamp Thing - '86 Honda TRX 350 Fourtrax In The Snow 

we've had an 86 trx350 in the family for 15 years. It's had a hard hard life but when called upon is still ready for anything. Rides like a tractor, turns like a schoolbus but is indestructable. Gets my vote for worlds toughest 4x4 atv. in 20 years my trx420 will probably be parts in boxes while my fathers 350 will still be plowing his road.

Thanks for watching. This Honda is almost 30 years, and still runs like a dream! They made these old ones tough for sure.

I have a 86 Honda fourtrax 350 it’s a tank never dies love her lol

I just Bought the 1986 Honda fourtrax 350 4x4 yesterday on my Birthday! It's a tank I'm gunna take for out for a first good ride tomorrow!

I've always been a Yamaha guy but i have to admit, that Honda is a good looking machine!!!

I have an '85 250 FourTrax . . . It was my son-in-law Rex's who gave it to my youngest son Michael, who got it running to give to his 70 year old Dad. It's not nearly as pretty as the one in this film, but I use it all the time to maintain my property in Southern AZ. Trail cutting, trash hauling, tree and plant pruning, and just lots of other tasks . . . The many cracks in the plastic fenders are laced with snap ties, the rims are dented, and she aint pretty. But she still runs great and saves me soooo much time and effort with my chores! I built a drag from chain link fencing for trail grooming that I can raise and lower when I turn around and it works great. Plus I bought a dumping trailer to haul behind it . . .

nice to see someone still has that same atv, mine jumped time during the summer

I absolutely love these. Like you said " they are tanks".

That is surprising! But you guys did a great job fixing her up, im gonna save and keep my eye out for one of these!

Excellent videos, nice commentary and love that Honda 350!

Had an 89 model of these...would pull like a train.

Thanks, glad you like the vids. The Honda is amazing...

Love the dogs. Love how they can seemingly can never figure out where the snow ball goes when they eat it! Mine does the same thing and she just loves it!

Awesome video!! The Honda and the Big Bear were looking good! I didn't realize that the Honda had a cooling fan, that's pretty advanced for 1986. Thanks for sharing!!

Great video bro. Those old bikes are in amazing shape.

Probably best fourwheeler made

I have a 1985 Honda Fourtrax 250, and it pulls very well, and in very good condition.

Really awesome honda my friend !!!!Pretty good for its age,lot of fun!!!!

Great video cubbeezx! Nice Fourtrax

I have had a 1988 honda foreman 350cc was like new they bough ot new on that year amd use like 50 hous them garage keep it fot more than 30 years iunfortunily sold it broke my ❤ heart

Gotta love the old Hondas when I first started riding my first 1986 I was like 6 (50 Zuki) before that I wish I could tell how many kms are on it . These things are pretty unstoppable and as always great videos

They sure are tough!

Been going through and checking out all your Honda ATV videos. Man that old thing is a beaut. That thing was atleast 4 years ahead of the game.

Great videos. keep them coming.

awesome video hah those dogs are machines in the snow! Ah sad the video ended GREAT update though for sure!!

yup these old Honda's are the best for going through deep snow and mud .you can't beet them.

Beautiful winter.

Great video

That the kind of snow im use to,now we have just 6 inches.lake superior wont freeze this year eather the way its going...planning a fishing trip to Sturgeon lake in ontario this summer.enjoy the videos

@cubbeezx No problem! I also noticed you guys are getting tons of awesome snow! its the middle of January and we are having temps in the 50's F. supposed to be around the 20's F. and boy is it mudddyyy! lol.

nice, I had one of those, boy times have changed, the good old days.

Haha! Did you call your dog a Hoser? Brings back memories of Bob And Doug McKenzie!! Haha! Great video as usual, Cubbie!!

man I would love to have one of those older Honda

great video

Yes, we sure do!

I love those old HONDA'S they are so reliable i have a 86 and its still pushing strong!!

sure, and i love watching your videos, HAHA, the "dam" grizzly threw me that looked like the hit on the ground hurt

Right on

Very good video the voice is clear the picture is good continue man

hey i just got an 86 honda fourtrax 350 today and just to add a fuel filter, so far she runs really good and was used once every 5 years.

We have a 2012 outlander that has 16.000 km on it. Engine trans diffs have never been opened up

That ATV goes pretty damn good thru the snow! Big column of smoke in the distance at 13:48!

Om from norway, and i love your motorpark, looks like you and your giro have 2 quads and 1 snowmobile each and i like it :)

your welcome........ i cant wait for the next video

love this kind!!

Its not fair all the nice snow you guys get!! Here in southern MN we only got about 6 inches and most of it melted last week so we cant even ride our sleds

Howdy from Texas Watched all of your videos seems like a great place to go trail blazing, but we don't know any one who knows the area, I don't know we got a few of our riders wanting to do some videos and what not but I love the ones you guys do, and most important you guys stay safe at doing it, Keep that Grizzly digging ,,till next time.

I have 2 86 Honda trx 250s both great machines wouldn't trade them for the world

I love shifting on my 88 fourtrax it make things more enjoyable for me.

these quads are beasts. I got one and the thing will go thru anything

That`s a sweet honda

ok, thank you. and were i live we ride in just about everything snow, mud, sand. so its kinda hard on atvs down here. So, yea but i really like that 86 honda

@8 min. Only thing I hate about my 86 350 is the turn radius. It turns like a tank with one busted track :) But I love her. I can go anywhere my buddies grizzly 700 goes. Nice to see someone else enjoying the old girls!

i have honda fourtrax 250 and this a great machine

that one is in REALLY nice shape. I had one 4 years ago, not nearly as nice looking but ran awesome.

Thanks you too.

as a matter of fact , I did enjoy the ride !

hi excellent video

good video quality for 9years ago what were you using at the time that atv is my dream bike

Cool vid, no It mean it was a vary vary vary cool video keep them comin !!! Yeee haww

Yeeha! Lot's of fun. I was gonna go for a snow ride today, but there is so much snow here I would be relagated to the grid roads and that's just no fun. So . . . I'll just stay in and watch your vid instead. Love that old Honda. Looks like CK is enjoying the new helmet. And now it's time for 50 questions: What kinda camera was CK using to vid you driving around in the swamp? Was that blue jacket she was wearing one of those new Mustangs? What size tires you got on the Honda? Thanx for sharin'!

sure. You know Ive herd that the Honda Fourtrax ATVS are the toughest ATVs honda has made so far. And, i belive it because they are some tough little ATVs!!!!

My dad used to use a pallet to pack trails

thx alot

Your comment on which video ?? But, Nope, didn't see any comment. BTW ... Nice Film Crew !! Wink ! Wink !

Hi,that 86 TRX R good running motors.I had 91 TRX200 ran great i sold that & got 97 prairie 400 4x4 .IM just waiting for a good snow storm in N.J. My short video of 97 prairie

Could you post more pics of both of them when it becomes winter i have a 1989 honda 350 same as yours and also a yamaha wolverine 350 with the same motor as your bigbear! they are both great quads

I had one of those about 15 years they are tanks if you can keep the tires on the ground.

Great i just picked one up and the racks were off of it when i got it. I think im missing a piece on the back that would connect to the rack. is there anyway you could send a picture of the rear rack and how it is on there? Thanks Daniel

I know i say this a lot, but cubbee I NEED MY DOSAGE OF THIS QUAD!!!! NEED NEW VIDEO haha, i love this machine i might save for one, 100cc bigger than mine with 4x4, sounds good to me! :D

I bet a pallet would work good!

Awesome vid! I have a 84 Honda ATC & it's in pretty good condition but that Fourtrax is even better! And I noticed at about 13:50 there was possibly ssmoke in the distance?

does pretty good

ok, i thank you for replying. my fourtrax is chain driven and and the whole rear end ive had trouble with. ive been looking at a honda rancher 420, a grizzly 350 or 450, and a honda recon 250. what would you thank would be a better atv for me. and, like i said im 12 about to be 13 yrs. old and about 5 foot even.

Why do you hook the tires on the back for ? That a good looking 86 the plastic looks like new.

ok, i thank you for replying and my fourtrax it chain driven, very low ground clearence, and the chain is what im having the most trouble out of and... well, the whole rear end ive had trouble with and ive been trying to get a honda rancher 420, grizzly 350 or 450, and a honda recon 250. what do you recemend i should look at geting. and, like i said im 12 yrs. old and about 5 foot even.

I'm buying one of those and just needed to see how good it is and I'm not disappointed😂👍 great video.subscribed.

Id sure love to have that quad

Yep,I like them old 86 tanks so much I have 2 of them..Shame I cannot locate a nice set of plastics for one of them as the fenders are all busted up on it,,,1300 hours is prolly close to 6500 miles,or more if you average speed per hour at 5 mph which is about average ...

What kind of dogs do you have? They sure look friendly!

o ok cool yeah I dident know if it helped it get better traction.

Hey Cubbee! I am a mahoosive fan of tour since your very first video! I was just going to ask you a question, regarding the right choice of quad bike for me! I am 15 and i am 6ft7 and in your opinion what do you think the right quad bike would be for me?

great ride,and BONUS !!!! got to play with the dogs !!! just wondering,why the Honda? and not the grizzly? is it because of the transmission in the Honda ? Regarless...enjoyed the ride,thanks for letting tag along ;-))

have you ever had much trouble with that "86 honda. because i have a 1991 honda fourtrax 200 2x4. and every time turn around i have to fix something on it. im 12 yrs. old do you have any thoughts about a better honda or yamaha atv that would be good for me? please write back if you dont mind

Do you will have the honda 350? and the bigbear?

I saw an article that said 10 hours per 100 miles is about average with a mix of slow and cruising. So I guess the TRX is up around 13K ? Not too bad for a 27 year old Quad.

Pretty gsp's btw how do you keep your hands and face warm

i have mudlights. do you think they are good tires

hey! will you do a video on grooming with the big bear

ok, ive herd that the honda fourtrax atvs are the toughest that honda has made. and, i belive that too

I'd give good money for an '86 in such great shape.

Do you still have this honda ?

where are you from?

how come you had the tires on the back

Hello Cubbeezx i want to say i love youre video with your Honda 350 86 and i want to know what size are these tire rear and front Thank you cause they look pretty nice (AND do there Jobs) :) thx

You bet...we can post more pics in the winter for sure. Nice rides you have and glad you enjoy riding the Honda and Yamaha! Thanks for watching.

hey @cubbeezx now with me putting 27in mud bitches on my yamaha 350, do you think it will strain my motor any??
