I have personally owned several Rancher units and they are outstanding for what they offer. I have recently purchased a Honda Foreman and the performance is outstanding for work. The major points for me were front differential lock, taller tires, larger feel and more power. Now after 20 miles of work/fun, the added power alone was worth it for me because I can easily run up the same hills today as with my previous Rancher in a higher gear with plenty of grunt to spare.
