Out of the 2, the 420 would be the better choice. It has more power, more ground clearence with the IRS, better starting and more responsive with FI. In my opinion it handles better and looks better. And if you go the route of buying new, you will get a warranty. Or, you could always get a Rincon. Better in every conceivable way, in my opinion.:icon_ peace:

 

and the power steering is well worth the extra 5 bills.

 

Go with the 420 IRS and EPS, Ground clearance will be a issue.

 

The biggest problem so far is that I cant even find a used 400 anywhere near me! These things are rare! I was trying to do a cost comparison, weighing the pros/cons of new v.s. used, but it seems my only option is a new 420. Now the question is PS or no PS?

 

The power steering is worth the extra money. Find a dealer who'll let you ride one with and without, mine did and there's no comparison as far as I'm concerned.

 

Yeah, I'm thinking I'm going to want it anyway, I plan on putting a plow on it, so the extra assist might be good. Hows the reliability of this machine's trans? Anyone have any major issues? Power steering issues? I will search of course, but anything I should watch out for?

 

I have had my AT for a year and a half and no probs with the tranny. I dont have EPS! So don't know of any problems with them.

 

My wife and I have had our AT's for less than two weeks and about 20 miles but I searched around on several forums and didn't find anyone posting any problems with the transmissions. It does run on oil pressure so when it's very cold, it requires warming up for a few minutes for it to shift smoothly. Both have ESP and it's worked flawlessly so far.

Good to hear! Anyone know what the invoice is on these models? (with PS and without?) Sounds like I'm going shopping this weekend!:noworktomorrow:

I have an 06 and 07 400AT neither one have over 1200 miles. I love the ATV's, great trail bikes, however I am having problems with the transmissions on both. I don't know about the 420's but I go that way.

 

I paid $2,500 for my low milage 400 AT and it's worked flawlessly. If you have $7,000 kicking around or what to finance it, great, but I would rather save the cash and let someone else take the deprecation hit.
