Big Red has arrived

Quote:
I bought it in Oregon, about a 6 hour drive from my house. Nevada has sales tax and Oregon does not.That long day on the road saved about $850 in sales tax.The MSRP is $11,400 and I got it for $11,200. I also got $1300 more for my trade-in and didn't have to pay $500 in freight that the local dealer charges. All-in-all about $2800 off the local price.....not that they actually had one locally to sell. I did burn up about 65 gallons of gas.It will do a little work around the house, like hauling trash cans down to the road, but it is mostly for getting out in my "backyard". Just across my back fence is a tract of open BLM range land that stretches 27 miles east and west and 34 miles north and south.If you lived on a lake that size you would certainly have a boat.

Mark, help me on history. Did they not call the covered wagons "ships or boats" as they crossed the west? kt

Craig..... I could have lived with the HP.... but the HST did not function correctly, especially in reverse where the HST would stall and refuse to turn the wheels under certain circumstances.
I will bet your Mule will at least spin the wheels.
KT, how about schooners? Prairie schooners.

I am liking it a lot. My only real gripe is that it does not come with any sort of instrumentation. There is no way to account for hours, miles or miles per hour which puts the maintenance schedule on a guesswork status.
Honda now has a $200 instrument package that is plug and play, but they didn't make it easy. You have to remove the entire dashboard assembly and cut a hole in the dash to mount the new instrument package.
The directions for the instrument set-up are pretty good. It took me about 90 minutes to do the job.
There is no lack of power. It goes plenty fast and will climb nearly vertical terrain. Seats are comfy, great ride quality and light, easy steering.
It took three tractor purchases to find what I really like and need. Red is my third ATV/UTV and I think it's a keeper too.
