Hi im buying a 450 next week and im going to be using it up here in the mountains near colorado at my ranch......i cant go more that 15 mph on my ranch with any vehicle because the road is rugged..and its a gradual climb with i few real steep spots..so i was wondering if the 450 will do fine for slow climbing.....or is it a mistake buying it.....i figured i really wouldnt need the speed of a 660......cant go that fast here anyway.....but i do need the low geared power......so let me know what you think........

If the machine has a "low range" option a 250cc motor will ride it up any hill.

Here is a owners review site looks like the people are happy with the 450.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

ok so it will do good then....what about the elevation between 8000 and 10000 feet....will that effect bad??

 

Read above link.

I can,t believe it get a higher average rating the the 660 by its owner for all years it was made.http://www.powersportsnetwork....ehicles&mfgname=Yamaha

 

i know so it must be good...have u ever been on one???

 

Uh no, but if I wanted to see one in action I would just go to "U tube" and search "450 Rhino" to see how they go.

 

I have an 07 450 rhino and haven't had any problems except a blown fuse from the heater. I have been able to climb anything the stock 660 or 700 climbs. I still have factory 12in wheels and I can stay right with the big bore rhinos with the big wheel kits. With your high elevation and since this is where you will do most of your riding you can get the carb jetted for this elevation and shouldn't have any problems.
