RE: Honda Rancher 4x4 video
I had an '06 Honda Rancher ES and it was a POS. I just traded it a few weeks ago for a Can Am 500 XT. Can Am has a much nicer ride, way more clearance, way more power. Saturday I was riding 4 wheeler with my buddy that has a Kawasaki Brute Force 650 and I smoked it with my 500. 
My Rancher I got rid of:
My new Can Am:

RE: Honda Rancher 4x4 video
The Can Am is around $8000 brand new setup like mine.
Ranchers are a good machine, just not enough power for what I use a 4 wheeler for. Mine could hardly get out of its own shadow, which doesn't work well when chasing cattle. It could barely pull my gravity wagons around when moving them in my buildings either. Also if I got it on a steep side-hill the transmission would start grinding, like the fluid wasn't getting to it. At around 1500 miles it started burning oil, so I took it back to the dealer and they said they "fixed" it. At 1990 miles (when I traded) it looked like you were fogging mosquitos behind it, and it was burning ALOT of oil.

RE: Honda Rancher 4x4 video
Can Ams are 4 wheel drive selectable, and all 4 tires spin when in 4 wheel drive.
My Rancher was also 4 wheel drive selectable.
Thanks, Can Ams are the highest raked 4 wheelers on the market today according to all the magazines, tv shows. They really get with the program. I have a buddy that has the 650, and another buddy that has the 4x4 racing version thats an 800, its the only 4 wheeler I know of that will ride a wheelie for however long you can ride one from a dead stop on the hwy, and also have an 80+mph top-end.
