Considering the Prairie 360 4x4. Not sure I like the idea of a belt driven tranny. What are the pros and cons of an auto vs 5sp tranny? Will use exclusively for deerhunting. Thanks for the feedback!

 

...Go with the 5-spd instead of the automatic...!!! auto takes away too much power on the little 360 engine....

 

with a 5spd you have less worries of problems no belts to mess with and none of that BS..But in defense of a automatic Kawasaki offers probably one of the best auto trannies available...I wasn't much on the idea of an auto either but I have to tell you the automatic is awesome. No doubt will the automatic out perform a 5spd in Mud and hill climbs and in a short drag race...It's just a lot easier to drive. Best thing I can tell you is find somebody that has an auto and take theirs for a spin....The 360 Prairie is one of the best ATV's you can buy it's basically a 650 with a smaller engine and MORE ground clearance!! It's not a speed demon but unless you plan on running your deer down I don't think that will be a problem [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
