Default Rhino???

Howdy,
My son has bought a new Rhino and is bringing it out to the ranch next week end. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this beast? It looks, on paper, like it will be real handy for chores such as sawing, fence mending, and fishing!!!!!

Default Rhino???

Hey Ross. A friend of mine bought a Rhino about a month ago. He seems to really like it. I wasn't to sure of it myself until I drove it. It has great power,suspension,and it looks cool to boot! I personally would like a bit more top end speed.(42m.p.h.) But I know of a few tricks to get it up past 50 m.p.h. There are a bunch of aftermarket accesories available and I'm sure there will be many more to come. Sounds like it would be a practical vehicle for you. Have a good one!

My Dad owns one that he uses all the time on our farm. The top speed is governed at 35 (not 42) but that never causes a problem, there's hardly a chance to get goin that fast anyways. I think the thing I liked the most was the great suspension, you hardly know when you hit a bump and it feels like your floating over land! I've taken it in some crazy places too and never gotten stuck. It's easy to clean also, everthing lifts up and comes off and it's very simple design makes it easier too. It's a awesome farm ATV!

Howdy,
thanks for the replies guys. I have heard that the cdi from the Grizzly will work on the Rhino. If that is for real, that would take care of the 35 mph governer. I will give it a work out next week end. Once again, thanks for the responses. Have a goodun!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those things are sweet...I was riding with one 2 weeks ago and it did this hill that I have had to think twice about before. I was amazed.

Not that it really matters but the rhino I drove does 42m.p.h. Maby just a speedo error or difference of machines. It does get up to speed quickly. It also feels very safe at that speed. The Grizz CDI will work but then the opptional speedo won't work? I'm sure there's an easier route to take. If anyone knows of any other hop ups please reply.
