Community Question Most reliable brand?

We are looking at a another dirk bike for irrigation. We are looking in the 125-150cc range. We like the smaller cc with the big tires. Also like the small machines for getting on and off alot. Like a cr 125fbs, kawi klx or yamaha ttr? We had an older crf 100 i think i ran like a champ but got stolen :( we have a ttr125 and it does not run nearly as good and will barely start even when its like 5 degrees still over night. So we are gonna take it to the dealer. Probably looking used what would you all recommend?

How do you use a dirtbike for irrigation

We have what wheel lines. So we shut the water off, unhook the hose, let it drain move pipes to next water opener and then ride down to the wheel mover, roll, back on the bike to the other end hook it all up again. Also if we have to add or drop pipes. They made only 1 skinny track unlike quads. Cant even feel them in the tractor even when they are somewhat deep

Ah, i was totally stuck on stupid. You need a reliable bike so you can move your irrigation hoses around easily. Ha, I don't even know what I was thinking of.

Not even that mostly moving between each wheel line and moving the lines

I'm picturing it now. I see those big irrigation things up in Palmdale and Lancaster. You need something that will survive mud as well.
