My brother's 360 prairie 4x4 is great. It is about 2 years old with about 700 miles and not a single problem. He has a 2" lift, 25" IBC mudbugs, along with other extras. We ride at our lease in southe east Texas with a lot of mud and ruts. Never has he had any problems. Maybe you have a lemon.

 

use low all the time
unless you are in a field running fast
then just throw it in high
but don't gun it
bad for belt

 

Could this be a result of the lack of <u>proper</u> maintainance ? Notice I underlined proper. If you ride hard, you have to do more maintainance and you can't forget about perventive maintainance. You know frequent inspections and fixing things before they go completely junk. Sounds like others with the p360 aren't having the same problems. You praise the 650, do you ride the 360 just like the 650 ? The 650 is obviously a lot more rugged than the 360 and maybe your just taking that for granted.

 

THe 360 is mine....the 650 is my dads. I dont know how he runs his...but i do get my moneys worth out of mine. Not sayin I abuse it or anything....I rarely go though mud...the only hard thing is has to do is haul a cart that we use to clean out our barn.

 

burn it and buy a kfx 400

 

Crayton8700, I have the same problems with my 360, I was wondering if you found anything out, Mine kills batteries, belt light is flashing ,and , it throws some crazy codes. wondering if the dealer or anyone told you what some problems were. Mine is throing memory reading error. Says I should replace LED indicator, I hope not ,the 200 bucks

 

sorry to hear about these problems...

my red machine is not even a year old, I have rolled it twice, totally flooded it and put it thru some mud and rough riding with out any prpoblems...

she doesnt like to roll, as I boogered up (and re-straightened) the racks and brtoke a brake lever

other than that, she runs like a champ...I have been keeping up with the service and dealer checks too...so maybe that has helped me???

wish you better luck and even better rides!

 

Also, Thanks for the running in-low tip...
used it alot more this weekend when hill climbing and going down and over rocks...
Don't know how much I like going down steep grades in 2wd Low though...seems like the auto engine break was too slow and back wheels drug a bit...almost like a lock up...???

Wow for the low gear and rock crawls...I believe this thing can go up and over just about anything when in low....

got to work the magic of the locking front end too as I got into some really deep mud, but only as the ice broke over it....
had to rock a little bit to get out, but once I got off the ice and into the softer mud...she churned that mud up like a hyper amish kid making butter! can anyone say bigger tires???

 

There are always lemons from every manufacture. My brother's 360 prairie 4x4 is doing great and it's 2 years old and about 700 miles. No problems what so ever.

 

kosnic i still have it sitting in my garage for the lack of income and i do have the warrenty but i dont know if it will be covered....if you figure anything out let me know....

Sparky8370 i am about to fix it sell it and buy my sisters bf's 400ex.
