I have a 2 acre garden and it's very steep in places. At the top I'm well above the roof of the house. The path/lane/track is about 1 in 7 at its steepest. I call it a garden but it's mostly grass field and trees. As time goes on I'm finding it more and more tiring to get about. I've just planted some apple trees (with sheep-proof tree guards) and I ended up using a Transit van to convey me and materials to and fro. That's ridiculous really. I'm wondering about getting a quad bike; most likely second hand. Actually I'm definitely going to get one. Trouble is I don't know anything about them. What size engine would be reasonable to carry me and a trailer with, for instance, two or three bags of top soil and a few tools on it? Petrol, diesel, or electric? I'm assuming it would have to be four wheel drive.
