2011 Honda Big Red MUV

The very best MUV , that I have ever owned. I bought it for Ranch and Farm work, and for my brothers to use on their ranches/farms also, since they cannot afford to spend the money on one, because the economy has been so bad and they are married with children or in-laws to support.Also my parents ... and Aunt and Uncle cannot get around as well now, so they use to go to each others homes, depending on whose home its at, at the moment. When someone needs it, we have to call around to see who has it. We pull a heavy Chipper/Shredder around and, pull a log splitter behind it, because the Big Red is the only thing strong enough, and slender enough, to squeeze between the trees and haul the heavy wood out of the dense tree areas. We only cut dead trees, so we will NOT cut a path into these places. The dump bed, makes it easier to clean out the hay and compost, so it doesn't get our tools messed up, that we haul in the bed.

I had a Polaris Ranger XP. It seemed to run OK. But I soon realized that the unit was not quality. I sold it and bought a HOnda Big Red and now I have what I want. I bought a perfect 2009 for $7500.

some people may put down the big red i myself find it to be one of the best envesments i've made. it out rides the rhino bad and the terex .as far as getting stuck i've had it in turoble spots and I have never had any trouble.it hauls payloads extremely well the wide wheel base makes it vary stable.the ... down side its hard to trail ride on rodes made for atv's.so just make your on Because it's a HONDA

Ive driven alot of atv's, from '92 Yamaha Timberwolf's to Can-Am Outlanders to Kubota RTV's (sideXside)and everything in between. but never have i driven anything quite as pathetic as the 'Big Red'. i got the chance to put about 350km (so far) on one for work. ive hauled 800lbs of water, driven over ... sand, mud, rock, hills, etc....ive driven it as recklessly as i could, ive tried to have fun in some way with it but its useless. about the only thing you can do with it is go from A to B slowly. and you wont be doing it in style or comfort either. the steering on it requires Arnold sized forearms. the brakes have a hard time stopping it under normal driving conditions. the transmission shifts really hard and never shifts when you need it to. the body construction is really sub-par. the box appears to be made of the same material as a Wal-Mart brand kiddie wagon. you cant drive it for more than 30min at a time due to the poor ergonomics. its heavy and therefore drives like a sail boat and gets itself stuck realy easy. the engine feels like a 400cc and gets the fuel economy of an 800cc. and to top it all off, i think the front end looks like a realy big tomato with an ugly face (in my oppinion).

all in all, this UTV is not worth the money i guess it has a great engine that could very well outlast the quad and one day become a generator but it still doesnt make the whole thing worth it. if you want a true work/haulin' machine then go for a Kubota RTV, if you want a pure sport machine then try a Polaris RZR and if you want a 'do it all' machine then maybe a Yamaha Rhino or a Can-Am Commander would suit your fancy.
