Hi all: new to this special forum! Years have ticked by as I have long been retired and have watched four wheelers grow from the three wheel Honda to the side by sides and always wanted to at least get a ride in one. I finally convinced my wife the clearing our 300+foot drive up here in New Hampshire that it would be lots easier to get rid of the snow by getting a used four wheeler and having it plow the drive instead of using our 9hp Honda track to blow the area. Oh,that only took 2+hours in the cold up and down numerous times. After lots of hunting on Craigs list I missed out on a couple of machines. I finally managed to find a 2005, 350 Honda Rancher basic model with very little use. I checked the price with my local dealer and they informed me it was way over priced for its age. I still went to look at the machine. It was very dirty but It showed little use. After unsuccessful negotiations I still purchased the Honda (wife not happy with $$) and gave the owner what I had in my pocket and promised to pick it up in a couple of days. (Cutting to end). The Hond cleaned up and it looks great and runs nicely as far as I can tell. Still getting use to the pedal shifting; and after installing a plow it has reduced my snow removal time by 75%. I park my Honda indoors to protect from rodents and the weather I even rinsed the snow off after each use.Sorry for the long story glad I found this great forum!
