Nice bike ! Looks great and user friendly. Been looking at these and the Honda Rancher 420 . I think the Yamaha is a better setup for plowing ( engaging reverse and back to drive looks easier than the reverse feature in the Honda unless you have the electric shift model ) but I do like the solid axle better for working and plowing and towing . What are your thoughts on these two ?
Yes they each have their strengths! If you wanna tow trailers I’d recommend the rancher because of the solid rear axle. You get a real transmission in a rancher as well to keep note of. Wont be disappointed with either tho. Kodiak is better for simple plowing rancher will work better and my opinion has more play/power to it
@@BrickNick931 Thanks for your feedback ! I’m leaning towards the Honda . I’m probably going to step it up to the Foreman because of its locking differential , 518cc power plant and it has a handlebar mounted headlight and 12v plug outlet as well as a little bit bigger tire and ground clearance. It just seems a little more capable than the Rancher .
@@BrickNick931 are you talking about the got shift and pushinghte button down on the brake for reverse ? If so you'll get it in reverse way faster than the yamaha lol! U can bang gears and roll forward slap it in reverse or roll backwards and shift it in forward on the fly. Yamaha you have to stop then switch. ;) Have a rancher it's rough af. On the trails but it's unstoppable
I've been plowing with ATV's since the '86 Fourtrax was a "beast" and never seen any reputable brand with 4wd struggle. Unless there was an ungodly amount that makes a 980K CAT sweat. My Kodiak 700 will push a foot of wet snow at a quarter throttle, with ease.
Did the fan come on often to cool it? Mine came on often. Even during the summer without a plow, it seems like it comes on a lot. Just wonder if that is normal for these.
