I am looking to purchase a ATV in the next few months but wanted some feedback from the members here.

Big Bear 400 or Honda Rancher 420 2wd

Which is going to hold up better, have more low end power/torque and ride the most smooth??

Used for deer hunting, light hauling and maybe a bit of plowing!

Thanks for any advice!

 

The Big BEAR is going to have more bottom end power the rancher will have more snap off the line being fuel injected as far as holding up I would give that to the big bear 1st off there's less to go wrong no fuel injection no liquid cooling so sticks wont kill your rad if you was to hit one!! and there's less wiring to mess up. The rancher will be faster much faster!!! though and is more up to date as well if you just have<~~ to have the modern stuff.... My unchle has 3 big bears not one of them has overheated even under heavy load's and this I can promise you low end power will NEVER BE A ISSUE it has GOB'S of low end thank's to the 1st gear and the fact it is semi auto instead of fully auto it's not fast on top end probaly lookin at 40-45 at best . And im not a onesided person the rancher is a awesome atv but being a straight axle doesnt help as well keep that in mind the big bear will ride better thank's to the IRS rear end and will not hang up as easy and the 4WD set up on the big bear i awesome as well 2wd 4wd 4wd diff lock take ur pick and plunge no 3 wheel drive. So with all this being said take it all in and sign some pappers for one of em and GOOD LUCK...

 

if ur going to do plowing and hauling woulint u rather have a 4wd might as well spend a little bit more for somthing better
