    Back in 2014 I bought a Orange 2000 4x4 Rancher with 256 miles (411km) on it. It still had the new Honda smell when it would warm up. It was too nice for me to sink in a mud hole so I sold it. Paid $2500 for it and sold it for $3000 :)

    • @NilsKall

      This one felt like new and it really was too nice to sink in a mudhole. But I did it anyway! Figured that some people buy these brand new and sink so why should I hold back. Paid 25000 sek wich is about 2900 usd. Got offered 37000 sek (4304$) if I wanted to trade it in for a brand new Rancher but thought that if it is worth that much I want to keep it. What ATV do you have now?

    Great condition ATV. Hondas are the best. Honda recommend only pressing the starter button for a couple of seconds. Otherwise you can damage the starter motor.

    I have the older 300 fourtrax and put a stop under the reverse safety below engine so I don't have to fight with brake lever in order to back up. Should be easy to do same on the rancher. I will know tomorrow. Buying one tomorrow morning. Seems to be very similar in many ways. A few obvious changes between models but looks like they kept the best design features from older models. Hoping many parts will interchange.

    • @NilsKall
      @NilsKall  2 роки тому

      I put that stop up at the handle but result is the same, no need to fight the brake lever. I don’t know how much is the same between the models but my understanding is that the 300 was a great model.

    • @onewyatt1
      @onewyatt1 2 роки тому

      @@NilsKall didn't think about doing brake hack at left hand. Will try on the rancher. I think I will keep the 300. It is 2X4 and much smoother ride all the way around. Great for mailbox runs or as spare for other riders. Only had a couple hours on the rancher today, it is like the difference between a half ton truck and a one ton (rancher being the one ton). It will handle much heavier work and load but seems to be much harder to negotiate around, so to speak. For play except mud or rock crawling, the 2X4 fourtrax 300 is much better. The rancher 350 seems slower, heavier and much stiffer.

    • @NilsKall
      @NilsKall  2 роки тому

      Hi, sorry for late reply. I haven't tried the Honda 300 but when comparing my Rancher 350 to the old Suzuki KingQuad 300 I found the Rancher had much harder steering. Everything else was much better on the Rancher, well maybe the King Quad was a bit better in really hard terrain. My Rancher has the 424 lockout that allows 2wd, I really wouldn't want to be without that!

      I just bought an 05 Rancher in excellent condition. I was wondering what you both mean by a stop in order to not have to use the break for reverse. Is there a good video on how to do this? I am new to this particular ATV.
      Thanks!

      Hej! Kul att du gillade den! Hondan var verkligen i otroligt bra skick när jag hittade den, tror aldrig jag kommer ha sån tur igen. Jag har fortfarande kvar den och jag har gjort flera videos efter denna bla snöplogning, körning av jordmassor och ridbane arbete. Ska se om jag kan lägga några länkar i beskrivningen. Den andra ATVn är en Suzuki King Quad. Mycket bra ATV men med fotväxel och min fru hade problem att hantera det så därför byttes den ut. Mvh Nils

      Apparently you can mount a Rancher 400 front diff and wire a button to activate the 4wd electronicly. Do some searching and you can find more info about is. Best regards Nils

    @CARLPHILLY Рік тому

    The first thing that you should have done would have been to change out the gas, and oil. If you would have done that you wouldn't have gunk in the carburetor, Gee's that's elementary.

    • @NilsKall
      @NilsKall  Рік тому

      The gunk in the carb was from the dissolved filter in the fuel tank. Common Rancher problem apparently. Just wanted to test if it would run without doing nothing to it but that didn’t work. Carb was probably fouled a long time ago, it was stored with the fuel shutoff open. Thanks for watching.
