Default First Impressions of 06 AC 2x4 ute

Just picked up a new dark green 06 250 2x4 ute from the floor at Appolson's Performance Center in Hamburg, NY after checking out the dealers in the WNY area. Rented a U-haul till I can afford a pickup. Also picked up an 8x10 steel trailer (holds 2 ATV's/snowmobiles). Got it out on some trails and must say I'm quite impressed. It has more power than I imagined a 250 ute would have. Got it up to about 45 B4 the speedo/odo stopped working. I let my cousin take it out right B4 that so maybe a setting was changed?? Felt confident in taking small jumps and flicking it around in tight areas. I compared the size to the 400s+ on the showroom floor and this is so much smaller. I could get in tigher places then a larger bike anyday. A few mud areas, some up to a foot deep-avoided those till I came up to a crossing where I did end up getting stuck. It's nice to have the low and hi range and a reverse override to get the tires spinning where necessary. With determination and some rocking, I got it out of the thick stuff. I may end up getting some mud tires, although I do expect to get my winch installed by the dealer when i get my 10 hour service done. Good mud protection when I wasnt stuck. It's my first quad, so I'd polly be happy with anything, but I really am happy with this ATV. Any recommendations on the speedo/odo issue? BTW, it does light up and display a "0" and the mileage froze.
