First post and I thought I would stop by and say Hi.

I just picked up a 2010 Rancher because I sold my 2006 Rancher years ago. I am amazed at all the differences on the 2010.

Anyway, nice to meet everyone and lets see what this thing can do!





BTW, here is an old video of my 2006 Rancher in action.. Starts at about 5:50 minutes in. YouTube - 4-Wheelin

 

Welcome to the forum. Did you get ES, foot shift, or the IRS auto?

The 420 Ranchers are indeed a totally different animal from previous Ranchers.

 

I went with the AT. Power steering, independent rear, all new to me from the older rancher.

 

I just bought a new 2010 Rancher myself about two weeks back. I went with the PS,ES, and 4x4 on my Rancher. I went to buy another brand ATV but the dealership also sold Honda so I test drove a Rancher with power steering.That was all it took I bought the honda that day. The power steering is great the more I drive the ATV the more I love the PS. The PS not only makes it alot easier to turn all the time(A whole alot easier in 4x4 mode low speed) when driveing at higher speeds and rough terrian the ATV steering does no jerk around any its smooth as butter like the ATV isn't even touching the ground. I am still getting use to the ES to be honest I was really fine with the old style foot shifter I have had on all my ATV's for the last 20 years I drive it like a pro. My wife liked the ES better mainly do to the fact its so easy to use and doest hurt her feet when wearing lite weight shoes. In the end I thought I better go with the ES after all I was buying a $6000 ATV and she was happy with that so it would be a good idea to keep her on the happy side! The first few days I didn't seem to shift the ES as smooth or perfect timing between gears when riding but last few days I have got it down and am almost a pro again at keeping perfect RPM all the time.

 

welcome to the both of you! glad yall are enjoying the 2010 ranchers! i got mine in the 4x4, PS, manual shift flavor, in honda red. it sure is a blast!!
