How did you feel about the brake and gas pedal arrangement? I've always felt the brake pedal is a bit of a pain to engage. At least for my size 13 hooves. I found I had to lift my foot off the gas, move the whole foot over, and up, and then press the brake. Probably me...

Notice they don't have the gradual engagement lever for the front differential. I think the system on the Teryx 4 ought to go on the Brute Force as well. It can be a little difficult in an off camber situation where you need full traction to hold onto the little yellow lever.

Great looking machine.

100% agree- that was the most annoying thing about my BF's. I don't want to dittle a lever and hold on to the bars in a mud pit to have a front diff locked up- I either want it on, off or automatic- i don't want to have to think about it.

I honestly can't think of a scenario where I'd want a "little" diff loc over a full lock up

I'm not sure how Nick felt, but I'll send him an email and check. Meanwhile, here's his thoughts about his first ride on her...

Teryx is more of a mixed use UTV than the XP 900. Pretty good all around and can do some chores also. XP 900 is more in the class with the Arctic Cat Wildcat, and Can-Am Maverick. Not really intended for utility use. Just ripping it wide open in the open areas and also has great rock climbing abilities.
