I will be buying a new atv next month, I have narrowed the feild down to the '00 kodiak or 'oo rancher. I live in ALASKA and will be using mostly for hunting but some playing also. Any info is welcome on the above machines. The rancher is due here in February so haven't rode this machine yet. Thanks

 

Are you getting a 2wd or a 4wd? If you are getting a 4wd I would get the Kodiak because you can turn off teh front wheel drive for playing around.

 

Thanks for the input, I will be getting 4x4 or 3x4? The push button 2 or 4 wheel is a great option! Yamaha dealer will come off of price alittle for winter but Honda no WAY!

 

Me and a friend bought 2 Kodiaks for $5500 each and no sales tax. We both love the choice we made. Good luck!

Get the Rancher.. and yes.. The Honda Dealer will come off the price. If not.. go to another Dealer. It's cold here... not many people in the cycle stores buying ATVs right now.

 

read an article on the two head- to -head and the kodiak beat it all the way around! check last few back issues of dirt wheels. good luck! troy
