Has any body wound out their new Ranchers yet to see what they will do? I had my 4x4 ES
up to 48 in wet grass,i thought it would go a little faster but fifth gear would not wind out .I think my Valves need adjusted.

 

Pavement would give you a little higher number.

How much faster would the 4x2 model go than the 4x4 rancher ???

Thanks, Scott

 

I think 50 is tops on both.. and your valves are fine. I hope the rubicon is a faster quad

had mine up to 50 and had more to go but the road was too short. i would guess about 55 to 58 on a 4x2.

 

Does anybody out there have a 2wd rancher that knows how fast it goes?? If so do tell..

Thanks, Scott

Ive heard that it can top at 51

 

48-51 is all she is going to do depending on what you weigh due to the good ol' Electronic governer. It retards the timing at a certain RPM to make it only fire every X amount of time to thus set a maximum RPM the motor will turn. I don't know if there is a way around or not. I am sure there is but like the ol saying goes "It ain't doing thats hard, it's knowing HOW to do it".

Gas'r anyway!!

ok i finally got to see for myself on flat blacktop. my rancher es 4x2 will go 51 mph and that is it. it seems like there should be more as you get there pretty quick, but i had long straight flat road and that was it.

 

Ouch. That's the best my Foreman will do ..... on a good day. :-)
