I have been researching, the rancher es 4x4 for a couple of months. I am looking to buy real soon, in fact i am going to test drive one this weekend.
I have been driving my dads grizzly for a couple of years and like it, but I want something a little more manueverable,yet with plenty of power, to take me and my bear bait into the woods and me and my bear out. I have been reading this forum for a couple of months just absorbing info. I am wondering if I will like the es shifting, I am used to automatic now, yet in the past i drove an older Yamaha kodiak, and timberwolf without problems. The only thing that worries me is the shifting problems i have read about. other wise i like the fact about the new front differential and also the fact that at approx. 535lbs, it is about 100 pounds light than anything in its class. I have a price of $5095 quoted, does this sound like a good deal. Sorry for the many questions.

soon to be owner of something.

 

That is an excellent price on the RancherES 4x4. Anything under MSRP would be a good deal. I think you will LOVE the rancher also. I ride with a Grizzly quite offten and hang with it!! Until we come to a wide open straight...

Don't worry about the ES breaking. The ES problems are the exceptions not the rules. I have over three hundred miles and not a problem to mention at all!!

go for it. You WON"T BE DISSAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!
