Finally after over a year of searching I found a decent deal on a used Honda Rancher 350, paid a $1000. It needs tires and a few small things like a seat cover and the choke cable is messed up. but it starts right up in the cold and does what I need. Ordered a seat and looking for tires similar to the Maxxis Bighorns. Still cheaper than buying boots every six months. Now I can let the old 1984 honda 200 go back to retirement. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2022/11/full-56542-158436-ggggggggggggggggggggg.jpg)

Good find. Don’t think Hondas ever die, lol. I've found that to be true. I'm not very nice to them. I always keep up the maintenance but I use them like a hammer. Handy size! Wow, someone wore out the tires! Looks good. Ya, the tires are past bald. I wasn't sure it would make it on the truck.

Handy size! Wow, someone wore out the tires! Looks good. they run them on the roads more than trails around here can go anywhere but the state highway so you see a bunch of tires like that seems every old guy in town has a side by side, it is like the redneck convertible.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I'm that old guy. not really, but they run them past my house all spring summer and fall and it's a state road. no one cares around here. The town roads are completely legal to run on and we have a pretty good trail network. I have a 2014 RZR 800 that the wife and I run on the trail systems. were going to buy a Ranger sometime in the next few years, its nice to have heat in the fall. I use the wheelers for work, hunting, trapping. I love the old Honda 300, best machines they ever made, I've had a few of them. I like the smaller to medium size machines, they go a lot more places and easier to get unstuck than those new monster sized four wheelers everyone makes now.

I've got an 95 Suzuki King Quad 300 with the High Low Super Low transmission. I like the shaft drive machines. Put you some ITP Mud Lites on that and put it to use.Mine needs new front tires now, but it's about to get parked til spring with the amount of snow we already have and about 5 days of snow chances forecast for the coming week.

I’ve never had the Mud lites, do they wear good? I’m going to step up from a 24” to a 25” tall tire. Debating swapping to 12” wheels all the way around. These Hondas have 12” fronts and 11” rear wheels.

Friend of mine had one of those for years, was unstoppable. He upgraded, traded to a 700. Would have loved to grabbed it, looking for 300-450cc, all I need. All I see for sale are 650+ machines.

.... tires similar to the Maxxis Bighorns. Still cheaper than buying boots every six months. Now I can let the old 1984 honda 200 go back to retirement. Griffin21 - FWIW I had a set of the Maxxis Bighorns on my SXS. Great tread and very light BUT VERY susceptible to punctures. After plugging them a few times and sliming them, I moved to the 8 Ply GBC Dirt Commander Tires. Not a single issue in over 5 yrs and they were significantly less expensive. They are heavier (8 ply) but I am not worried about accel/decel performance. Bought them online from Discount Tire Direct. Awesome quad - Great size - Honda's seem to run forever.
