Rancher 350 here with no problems. I'm sure the 420 will not let you down and the upgrades are even better.

Picked up our new 07 Rancher yesterday,will take it to Bricks 4x4 next
week to try her out!Wife is taking over the 05 for her,gonna have to
add on to the garage I guess!

Congratulation coyote170 to the new addition to the family. I'm sure your very proud. I was wandering if I could ask what may be dump question or two. Re-jeting, I don't know alot about this but have heard that it sometimes needs to be done when taking low lander atvs to high elevations. I may be taking one to CO next month to elk hunt. Won't be getting off the road but will help with extra transportation.

obe I would call a dealer and speak to one of their tech's for a solid
answer to your question.I use Abnerathys in Union City,TN. and am
impressed with their help and customer service!From other friends
who have made the same trip you are going on they had to rejet to
get the service they needed from the machine,two of them have traded
for fuel injected models since they have returned so hope that answers
your question.What part of MO.are you from,take care!

Why is everyone bashing the 400 AT? does anyone here actually own one or are these statements based on here say? I talked to a mechanic at the Honda shop the other day and he said that the 400 is a solid machine.

Garminator, I have a buddy that has a 400AT. It is a good bike but is way under powered if you are going to use it for pulling or mud. I personally chose the 350 Rancher after seeing his 400AT and am glad I did so. If the bike will be used for trails and general riding, it will be fine, for mud and work, you will be disappointed.

Sounds good thanks Wayspr, i'm not a big mud rider so I hope i'll be alright. I'm getting it for a steal so I can't pass it up. It's a 2005 and I know that I can pick it up for $2000. The low book value on it is about $3200. Thank you for the info & good luck this season.

Hey I just thought of something and excuse me if It it sounds dumb (i'm new to atv's) but I thought that the 350 was 329cc's & the 400 was 397 cc's, therefore how can it be underpowered vs. the 350?something to do with the auto tranny maybe?

The automatic tranny's low gears are not low enough. The engine will rev but the wheels won't turn.

I am a Tech at the local Honda Powerhouse. And yes, we are ranked #2 in sales and have only been a Powerhouse since last November. I would have personally chosen the 420. From my experience with the 400AT, they are probably the least sold. The 420 is a very solid bike. However, too many people underestimate the 350 Ranchers. For the money, the 350s are hard to beat. I am not allowed to give any details as it's strictly classified, but the future Honda bikes (ATVs and Motorcycles) looks very promising. By the way, the 420s come in blue too. If you haven't seen the new 500s, they released a white one not too long ago.
