Selecting a Quad for Hunting

Now that you have decided that using a quad will be a useful addition to your hunting equipment, how are you going to traverse the multitude of information that the manufacturers will throw at you in order to entice you to choose their machine. How do you decide what is important and what you can live without? How do you know that the machine will be able to perform the tasks that you need, and bring you home each day? Do I buy a new machine or will a used one be okay?
