I have my first quad choice narrowed down to a Rancher AT and a Rubicon. It will be used for light-moderate yard use, hunting(loading up with decoys and dog), pulling an icefishing house onto the lake etc. Does the Rancher fit my needs or would the 500cc of the Rubicon come in handy? I know the differences between the two quads and I have ridden each. I am mainly interested in if the 400cc will be eneogh. Thanks in advance.

 

How much weight will you be pulling at any one time?

 

400 should be fine unless your trying to pull a mobile home or somthing

 

The Rancher AT should do the job fine. I had a Rancher 350 ES and once pulled a trailer loaded w/ 11 railroad ties (each weighing around 150 lbs) for quite a distance up a hill for a landscaping job I was doing. I had to throw weight on the front racks to keep the front end on the ground. I never came out of first, but the Rancher pulled steady all the way[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

if its just going to be for work and no sporty riding the 400 will be just fine and it will save you alot of money.
