  suspensions information needed

Broken,
I have a Wolverine 350 and a Prairie 650. Although I am sure there are design differences between the two suspensions, I believe the primary difference in the plushness of the ride is the weight.
Even with the 650 ( a 600lb. machine), depending on surface and speed, the only way to not take the bumps is to get your butt out of the seat. You can then use your arms and legs to smooth things out.

I love my 650. A lot of power, smooth ride. It is large machine and can take some effort to steer in 4 wheel, but in 2 wheel it has the power to break the rear free and turn on a dime.
Did have the 4/2 wheel actuator go after almost two years. Was replaced n/c under warranty. I thought the plastic should of held up better ( or maybe I just abused it clearing an acre with it before I wised up and got a tractor). Looking at the dealer I think they have improved the plastic for latter models
I would recommend this machine, but as with anything rider tastes matters, ride before you buy. I bought it new for $7k and bought the wolverine 350 for $2800. Aside from pure speed/towing capacity, I have 95-99% the fun riding the wolverine for a lot less money.
The Prairie is belt drive vs semi-auto for the wolverine. Both have +/-, it is great to trade off between and get a different ride depending on mood.
I am no suspension expert, but Iowafun's comment about having the the shocks adjusted for rider weight is a good one. From your first post I think looking in 400-500 class you could find something with enough mass to smooth out the bumps but still not be too big for your taste.
