I tried plowing with my Rancer AT with ESP 1st gear what a machine. I think 1st gear on the Rancher AT is geared very low. Pushes snow like a dream. We had 10 inches of snow to push. 6 -8" of snow predicted for tonight and tomorrow. Love pushing snow.

I am so impressed with this machine, Honda did it again.

 

My brother has the rancher 350 with a pipe jetkit and bigger tires. He also has the plow which I use more than him because of his job. Anyway the bike rules it goes thru everything with that plow. I have a driveway that takes about 2 hours to plow so its great! We used to have a 88 trx300 4 wheel drive plowed with that also. Sold it to a friend who still drives it. Honda's are the best!

 

I also noticed that in Reverse and in 4 wheel drive, the machine moves all 4 wheels very nicely. I thought I was stuck. I just stood beside the quad, put it into reverse and hit 4 WD, and with the throttle walked it right out. I still have not found anything wrong with this machine. I think it is tough machine. We have to plow again today. We received another 6 inches of snow. I love the way it walks through tall snow. I can push snow for hours and not get tired. I have the manual Cycle Country 48" Plow.

These two items sure have made my life alot easier.
