How easily should my honda rancher 4x4 roll when in neutral?
Seems like it's gotten kinda hard to push around. I don't hear anything odd. Good gear oil levels. The brakes all work ok so i don't think they are stuck or rubbing, but it just seems like something is causing some resistance. and it seems to get really hot after a ride but the light doesn't come on. When I jack it up it is a little hard to spin the wheels. It's harder to push out of the garage than it was when I bought it a few years ago. Used to roll right out.

What else should be checked out?

Thanks

Could there be some dirt and crud jammed in the brake drums?

Well you are getting older lols

Pull drums and clean; lube the brake cables and foot lever as I’ve seen brake be adjusted properly but the pedal/levers don’t fully return

adjust clutch

maybe you have a wheel bearing or drive axle going bad. check manual for troubleshooting.

chances are, your brakes on the front or rear are sticking.
