HONDA RUBICON 520

A multi-functional machine is a big priority on our little Michigan hobby farm, because we hunt here as well. While being able to comfortably trail ride all day on a machine is definitely a plus, it isn’t the main quality I look for in an ATV—our machines must work harder than that. And the Rubicon definitely does. In contrast to other racks with rails all around the edges, the front and rear steel racks provide a large flat area. And when you’re loading grain bags onto the racks, flat is definitely better. The rails on other racks might seem convenient until they send a pile of 40-pound seed bags toppling to the ground.

And that same power that helped me keep up with the boys and their machines comes in very handy around our little farm and getting me to and from my hunting spots. In fact, the Rubicon handles very well in all weather, including cold and snowy Michigan winters. Even on the coldest days, the Rubicon never failed when I started it to haul water to our farm animals.
