anyone have the new 420 rancher????? im stuck bewteen the 400 AT an the new 420 fuel injected liquid cooled.....i like the 400 at beacuse its blue an it is automatic or maunal shift an alomost sits an inch higher 3 inches shorter in width... the new 420 like i said is fuel injected an liquid cooled an the saleman said it has tons more power than the 400.. said its crazy the power thats in the lil machine. only 300 dollar difference for the 400 at so price is really no biggie... i jus dont know which way to go!

Do you really want 6.5 inches of ground clearance and a straight axle? I had an ad for an 87 or 88 Honda 350 4x4 and the suspension specifications are the same as this model!The neighboring hunt camphad ranchers and foremans, but youreally feel it and your a$$ and back pays for it that night from riding. They're starting to get away from them. Depends on your riding and work needs.But if you are set, I would get the 420 FI in a manual. Did you see the Can-Aminfomerical with the 400AT in the tractor pull, onlymade it less than 6 feet. Try a CAT

I'd go with the 420. With fuel injection you can ride down on the farm one weekend then head up to the mountains the next without having to re-jet your machine. That extra power will be nice too. The straight axle and lower ground clearance will make for a little rougher ride, but it definately won't keep you from going anywhere as long as you have good skid plates. And since it's a Honda, it'll never break down. Disregard the previous poster's comment that you should get an Arctic Crap.[8D]

yeah i appreciate his input but im a honda guy my self.. i really not gonna be pullin tractors so that doesnt concern me. i dunno im still torn i really dont go anywhere where the alittude changes that much i need to re jet either... i like the extra ass on one. an the options on the other...[&:]

fuel-injected, liquid cooled? definietely the way to go

i would get the 420 in manual becouse they go beder

Hey guys, along the same lines...i'm in the proces of picking up an 05 Honda Rancher AT. What do you guys think of this machine? I am a little skeptical of an automatic but I hear they've come a long way and after all, it's a Honda.

You certainly cant beat more power, and fuel injection. If money isnt an object i would definately get the 420. I have a 350 rancher and i love it, other than the solid rear axel.

400 AT is a dog, no power at all. Go with the new 420.

One of mine is a 05 Rancher,ES,olive green just turned 581 miles she
got her oil and filter changed like they say always in the woods,never
in the shop,sweet machine!
