Looking at a rhino 450.

wolverine · 2011-02-07 06:54:39

I found a rhino 450 for a really good price, and i was wondering if it would be a good choice for wooded trails and yard work. The trails are mostly lease roads and logging roads, with some light mud, small hills, and some tight twisty trails. Budget, and controlability are more important than speed now, because of my bad arm, and i just want to enjoy riding again. Is the 450 a capable trail cruiser?

It's not a duner and top speed is around 35 mph without any mods. Very impressive if you watch Kryptonite Racing YOUTUBE video "Rhino truck pull" (roughly 18000 lb pull)

I live in PA, so i've never even seen the dunes, but i do climb some small hard packed hills in the woods.

Good video, i did that with a 350 wolverine pulling a mini van and small trailer, but nothing that heavy. I have a 450 wolverine thats the same motor so i know the motor, but it only weighs 516 lbs, so i didn't know how doubling the weight would effect it. It seams to have enough power, just not alot of speed.

Never mind, it was a scam. We said we wanted to look at it and they said they weren't in the country but the machine was and they would have to ship it to us, i won't buy anything big without looking it over first.

Yea i think it would work great due to the 450 is geared lower!

I think it would work good for me, if i can find one that isn't a scam that i can afford.

The 450 is no speed demon. However it is a billy goat on the trails.
