How are they for working like hauling loads plowing etc.. and are they able to be driven slow for long periods, just wondering about plug fouling, like to have one used a 250 and thought that was great for the size, I hear the 400 are awesome but can you work them or are they only good for high speed riders? are they powerful in low compared to a 4 stroke. All replies would be appreciated

 

The 400 is a good sport utility machine with plenty of pulling power and speed.I once harrowed my 3/4 acre garden using a full size farm tractor harrow.Their was a little bit of strain on the machine, but none the less it did the job.I have read in atv magazine and also from this forum that the 400 is more than enough for plowing.If your looking for a real bull worker and not so much for speed I would consider a 4 stroke 500 machine.

I hauled firewood up a muddy hill with a 17cf trailor attached to my Xplorer for 2 days.My quad never once acted up.It had all kinds of power left to.Its a great worker as well as a great trail riding ATV,you wont regret buying one.

It has all the updates, except the improved belt/clutch cover.
