I love mine. However I must admit that I'm going to look at the Rancher AT when they hit the showroom.

I jump mine. To "play around" I think you'll need an unlocker if you go with a 4x4.

Good machine.
Not the best at any one thing, but good at everything.

Won't keep up with the big-bores in terms of speed & acceleration, but a very capable machine.

WO WO WO now.

Don't hate the rancher because it isn't selectanle 4x4. You can ever so easily get a kit and then it will be a selectable 4x4. Now don't ask me where you get this kit, but their is one, just find it and everybody is happy.

I prefer the Rancher becaues it is lighter and smaller than anything in its class (and WAY lighter than the big bore bikes). I use it mostly for techinical trail riding, where speed isn't much of a factor. Top speed will be limited more by the suspension than by anything else though. It climbs extremely well. Can't comment much on serious mud (I ride in the desert). The things I don't particularly like are the stock tires (replaced with Holeshot ATR's on ITP Magnum rims-it's a completely different bike!!!) and the front steering "hunts" a little in some types of terrain.

I have a 2002 Rancher, and have road the bigger quads, the previous post hit it on it perfictly. Does everything ok, but won't keep up with the bigger quads when you hit the open trails or back roads.
