Hi just wondering what people think i bought a rancher 350 last year thinking about trading it in and getting a 400 at or should i just stick with the 350 manual shift i put mudlite tires on and a warn select 424 on it just wondering if it would be much diffrent other then the tranny thanks

 

Imo, stick w/ the 350. A 350 S will always outrun an AT, muds better, cheaper, the list goes on. Two of my ridin buddies have the quads your talkin bout. The 350 outperforms the At. You can see the 350 in my pics, but I dont have a pic of the At. In the pic he's got 26 in 589's, but now he has 26 in mudzillas.

 

Keep the 350 it will hold up better in the long run.

 

read the post in honda, i rode both bikes saturday

 

I have relatives that have both of the quads you mentioned. To tell you the truth, I am not impressed with the 400AT . I think the 350 manual they have is a better quad. It seems to be more sportier than the 400 AT. The AT seems like the kind of quad that is just good for cruising down a trail, while the 350 is good for ripping around and having fun on. Its hard to describe, I just like the 350 better.

Keep what you got!

 

keep the 350..those things are fun..love the auto clutch and they mud great to

 

just to throw a different opinion in here, i have both the 350 and the at, i personally like the at because of the ease of use with the auto tranny and the selectable 2wd/ 4wd tranny. contrary to popular belief the auto is not really that much if any more underpowered than the manual transmission. I can beat my buddies wolverine off the line with the at but he will catch me at about 40 mph and hold the lead, but with my rancher 350 4x4 i blow his doors off all the time no problem. it just depends with your preference. the at is more comfortable and luxurious with more travel while the 350 is faster quicker and more predictable.

 

Nike, I agree w/ about everything you said exept the power thing. Like I said earlier, I ride with both those quads. If you are talking straight line drag race, the At doesnt stand a chance. I'm about 6-5, 315lbs while my buddy is about 6-2 240lbs. He was on the AT, I was on the 350 S. He had stock tires, the 350 had 26" 589's. We raced w/ him in auto and es mode. Every time the 350 beat the At by 3 or so quad lengths. Doesnt sound like much till you consider the weight and tire difference. Dont get me wrong, the AT is kinda cool, but if I had to ride a Honda, it would be the 350 S over the AT. Good thing I have the option of a Polaris[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] JK
