dshoe, it seems like the 4wd switch takes about a second to engage. it acts like it is an electric motor that engages the front end and it takes a second to turn the stuff enough to get the front end in. then, it is a random thing whether it goes right in or if the quad has to move or spin a tire to get the gears lined up to mesh (this is standard even with manual engaged quads it seems). so far this is the only feature i don't really like on the BF because if you get stuck in 2wd,you gotta be careful getting the front end engaged to get yourself out.

I only paid $7444.00 including a manual plow. It also has differential lock and IRS.

 

My wife bought me an 06 BF 650 SRA in camo otd for 6499.00 This machine will really scream.
I did not get any extras with it but they are coming.

 

Billy Joe,

I thought $7,444 sounded kinf of expensive as well. I know yours is SRA and his is IRS with a manual plow....but in the midwest area (IN)...I thought you could do a little better. Maybe not....maybe the '06 BF 650 is that hot right now.

 

i paid close to that for mine (i got the $69 warn winch with mount kit since i have a plow for my suzuki) and i'm happy with the deal. less woulda been better of course, but i did my research and wasn't gonna get a better deal here anytime soon.

Yes you are right it takes going a little forward or backwards before the 4X4 engages either in Reverse or forward. Not to shabby though. As far as the OTD that I paid that also includes taxes. It was in the upper $6000 range before taxes.

 

My local dealer (Highlands Tractor and Kawasaki - Texas) sells the BF650 SRA for $5899 OTD farm exempt. They sell the BF650i IRS for $6199 OTD farm exempt. And, the BF750 IRS for $6799 OTD farm exempt. They are the largest kawasaki and Massey Ferguson dealer in the south central. These prices are their every day no haggle prices and they don't add any freight prep or other crap. The price is well below the MSRP and straight foward.

 

I paid $6250 OTD for an '05 camo leftover (SRA) with the Warn winch and upgrade to 26" Maxxis Bighorns on the stock rims.

I agree - this thing simply hauls!! It has incredible torque for hills. I've gotten it stuck once, as my rear diff hung up when my tires dropped into some deep ruts. I haven't gotten stuck anywhere else - including some pretty wicked mud.

For the $$ - I have no complaints!!

 

make sure you use LOW gear when going slow, climbing, pulling, mudding, etc and you wont have any belt probs. have fun

 

I recently bought a green 06 BF 650i, it was $7250 out the door, I'm very happy with my choice, after reading some reviews about the stock tires, I went with the bigfoot kit with mud bugs and type 7 wheels, looks awesome, I havent had a chance to go for a good ride yet but low speed on pavement is very bumpy, is this normal?
