IVT. Its worth it. Drive one before you buy.
Have a 10 year old IVT and a 2 year old Powerquad. The IVT is much nicer in every way except hooking up an implement...that takes a little practice.

Auto quad is a power quad plus gear box that has an extra button that enables automatic shifting within a range. The shift points can be altered to match the drivers preference. Here most auto quads have the eco feature that allows full speed at reduced engine revs in top gear.

I find I never use the auto feature. However I really like the eco feature. I don't know if you need an auto quad to get the eco feature, but I would pay the premium if I had to to get it.

I thought the IVT was the easiest I've ever used. Idle down and barely put lever into reverse and ride the brake just like an auto transmission in a pickup. Maybe yours is different? No jumpy clutch to deal with. Anything is easier to hook up than the Challenger MT I had. It has the worst clutch and brakes I've ever dealt with. Stand back and keep you fingers out of the way with it!
