I'm trying to decide on a 4x4 machine for a little of everything. I was looking at the Rancher and Big Bear, then for some reason I tried to make the decision even more difficult by looking at all of the other manufacturers offerings in this class. What a mistake that was. Now I've got 4 other ones to choose from. They all have their good and bad points which makes it even harder to choose. I feel like no matter which I choose, I'm missing out on something. Which machine do you think is the best in this class? I plan on riding a few to see how I like them, but how much can you learn driving around a parking lot....

 

Well to start out saying you can't learn much when you'r being watched by a dealer but I am a BIG HONDA FAN so im going to tell you go with the
4wd rancher. All my friends has honda's and love them very much, heck my friends even tare there atv's up like all heck and they still run like new! 1 of my friends has got a rancher 4wd-es and he loves it very much.
Now I don't now what you like but im all out for
the honda rancher and im planing in the future to buyone my self so good luck choosing.

GO WITH THE HONDA RANCHER, YOU CAN'T GET ANY HAPPER!!!!

 

Don't overlook the Xplorer400. Fastest in it's class. Best 4x4 system. Priced very nice too. Very reliable. Easy to boost power and not expensive either! Just my opinion.

 

All you will get out of a question like this is what WE like best.. Take a little time to think about what kind of riding YOU most want to do. Then base your choice on that. It will make your choice a whole lot easier. Also take into account your ability to perform maintainance on it if you are buying a used quad. All of them are good at something and none are good at everything. There are too many kinds of uses to pick just one that will fit every need. What you want to find is the one that is good at what you want it to do.

I found mine!!!! It's Red

 

I have a Rancher & love it. Everybody that has one I think loves it.

Test drive a few & then decide! If a dealer won't let you test drive one, then you don't need to buy from them.

 

I have 99 Wolverine and love it. Mine is faster than stock blaster and also my is stock too! The motor is really strong but I would like to have little more of low end but I have no problem with that. Wolverine is the best 300-400cc 4x4!
That's my opinion.
