does anyone plow snow and/or dirt with their rancher? how about rubicon? i am in the market for a wheeler when i get back from deployment in early 2010, and am looking at the big bear 400, rancher AT, and rubicon. i would think an auto tranny would be beneficial when plowing, but i grew up on foot shift and dont mind it at all. i have a thread already on deciding which rig to buy ( http://forums.atvconnection.com/buyi...ml#post2828257 ), just looking for personal experience with plowing.

 

I plow with my 450 Foreman with no trouble, but I think the Rubicon would be more convenient as it would probably be easier/faster to shift from foreward to reverse. The Rubicon tranny seems to be a relaible peice too.

I dont think i'd plow dirt with a Rancher, the new Rancher Auto with IRS has a tall first gear so I'd say it would be even worse then a regular foot shift Rancher.
