I have a 350 Rancher, and it does everything I need it to do. I would like a 4wd, but I can�t point to a situation that would allow me to justify it. I just want it, but don�t need it.
Deer Assassin has a 250 2wd Recon, and he hauls out 3 deer at a time with it. He works it like it was double the size.
One of my hunting partners has a 250 2wd Recon, and he works it like a dog and the thing just keeps on keeping on. It still runs like new. He likes it because it�s not as wide as all of our 4 wheelers. It has a very small turning radius and can squeeze through places that ours can�t.
I�m like a lot of people in that I believe bigger is better. Honestly, if I found a deal on a 450 4wd Foreman, I just might buy it. Will it allow me to do more than I�m doing now with my 2wd 350? No. I haul hunting equipment in, and equipment and deer out. Deer Assassin and my friend do the same thing with their Recon�s.
My advice is to test drive a Recon, Rancher, and a Foreman. Talk to people who use them. Consider what you will do with the 4 wheeler. This should help you decide.
