I just recently found this site and have learned quite a bit just from surfing around.

I do not know who the people are that are responding to my questions but I am a Firefighter/Paramedic who trains Gundogs on my days off (labs only) and I use my Rubicon three to four times a week either hauling or pulling training equipment so it is a tool more than anything else.

When I purchased it I never even looked at the other brands because I have always had good luck with Honda products.

Thanks for the help and suggestions you have provided.

If one must have an automatic, I think the Rubicon is the best of the bunch. I personally would have gone with the Foreman 500 if I needed a work quad.

 

Now you have me confused (no big shock there) mine says honda forman rubicon, what's the difference?

 

No your ok, honda has the forman brand by itself and also has another called
foreman rubican together.

 

The "Foreman" I am refering to has a manual transmission. They call it a 500, but it is actually smaller than that. It looks pretty much identical to the Rubicon I think...at least from a distance.

 

they (ATVs) all look identical from a distance...
