I got the rancher 420 also.Plenty of power.I use it with a plow in winter to push snow.The hydrostatic transmission is great.

The Honda 300 was the best bike ever built. I had a 1995 that I rode for 20 years. The motor still ran like a top but the bike itself was just wore out so I bought a Honda foreman 500 and never really liked it. Sold it and bought a Yamaha Grizzly 700 and so far really like it a lot.

I was going to trade a buddy for his 1000 Canam but it was to bulky for what I needed so I got a 500 Arctic Cat 4x4 and like it a lot. The only thing I am going to change on it is the exhaust as it is just to loud for my liking. I have not ad to use the low range gears on it yet and I pull a big water tank up the hill on a boat trailer with it with no issues at all in his range. Yet it is small enough to get it between the trees for hauling firewood with my small DIY trailer. Something that I could not have done with the Canam

If you replace it...

Suzuki is a nice machine
Hondas are also very nice.
I personally have a 98 kawasaki prarie 300, not fast and very reliable.


If you like fixing stuff buy a polaris

For no more than you use it other than its age why would you think it wouldn't out last you? Without seeing it and just guessing those old Hondas last a long long time.

I bought a 15-year-old Polaris 500 with a winch for $1400 four years ago and it has been great.
