Re: I need a quad....   
I have an old lawntractor - lawnmower type  12 HP with the deck removed and 
a tipping trailer for poo picking onmy sloped fields.  The wheels do not cut 
up the grass / grazing and it is low geared so it copes with slopes easily. 
The brakes are a bit naff, but if its left in gear when stopped it does not 
move at all.  The trailer I use can take 4 dengi bags of poo so you have 
plenty of capcity to fill.

Yes, I'd wondered about that option too.
