The only thing I know is alot of people seem to complain about the Automatic and Electronic Shift ones. But if it runs good and you like I say go for it.
Is that true for the AT? I know the ES has a relatively large number of complaints, but the only thing I've seen about the AT is just opinion that it's not great. I don't recall seeing complaints about problems with it. At least, as memory serves.
The foreman is good, with the same complaints about the ES. I have a 500 ES, and I just sold a 450 ES. I like them both.
The 450 foreman is about the same size as the 420 rancher. The foreman has a stock emergency pull start which I think is an option on the rancher. It is also carb where the 07 rancher is fuel injected, and the rancher is also liquid cooled.
since we are on the price subject, is a 2006 rancher 400AT with 60miles 15 hours worth $4100? its almost like new some minor scratches. Also to whom ever is looking for one always make sure its NOT STOLEN.
i just picked up a 2006 rancher 400at just got it running the other day this is my first 4x4 atv and i love it .. i do miss having a clutch and changing gears but this thing will go through and over anything in front of me but so far i have no complaints about the machine
I'm late on this post but I have a 2007 rancher AT 400. Its an excellent machine. No problems in high water, mud, steep hills, nasty rock climbs. Awesome engine braking, so good I may never replace original pads. Its seamless transmission is always on the dime when u need it. I never felt that I needed to go manual w/ it and the motor has more than enough power w/ typical trail riding. Though I have not towed anything w/ it, nothing has broke. I can't say enough about this machine. I just bought a 2010 rancher AT 420, rode it once and its a completly differant animal. Granted the 2007 AT is air cooled and has a solid rear axle, it ROKS.
The ES and auto are different. Since were talking about the auto which is the one I have and it's been a very reliable bike. Some were reporting that sometimes the angle sensor fails but is fairly rare and is easy to change. As far as power mine has more power then the Arctic Cat 400 auto it replaced. It pulls my 300lb railway track that I use to level the driveway better than the Arctic Cat.
