KenK, OX400

I stopped by the Bass Pro in Clarksville today, had to take the last train. I looked over some of the Tracker equipment. They did not have the OX 400 on the floor. The salesman told me they can't keep them in stock. The OX 400 is selling well. There were other models there. Just to look at them they look solid enough for the use you intend. I did notice a person may want to secure the front brake lines better on a couple of models but wouldn't be an issue on the OX 400. That is the only thing that really jumped out at me. However I really don't spend much time around equipment of this sort, so keep that in mind.

I spoke with the salesman and explained why I was checking them out, he was helpful, after all he's a salesman.

Bass Pro used to carry Artic Cat equipment. Textron bought Artic Cat. Textron made some changes (what exactly I don't know) and markets these vehicles under the Tracker name at a lower starting price. The engines are made in Georgia, that's Georgia USA. The OX 400 has a 13.5 hp air cooled pressurized oiled engine, 23" Tires, rear wheel mechanical drum brakes (self adjusting), speed of 16.5mph, continuous variable transmission, forward and reverse, outside turning radius 23.5 feet. The bed has a 500 lb rating with gas piston assisted manual dumping.



It has a 2 year warranty.

The Mechanical drum brakes instead of 4 wheel hydraulic disc brakes probably helps keep cost down. But the top end isn't that high to start with.

Out the door cost on this unit here in Indiana is $6600.93. That includes 7% Indiana sales tax, tittle, document, and freight charges.

Edit: Forgot to include that Bass Pro provides maintenance and sells parts.

    Did a Monkee meet you at the station?

    The OX-400 is a golf cart.

    But, if you want a golf cart, it seems to be reasonably priced.

    I went by the local Farm Store to look at the American Landmaster. I ended up buying the Landstar LS677EPS for $8050 after the instant rebate. It's a 4x4 with a 21 HP Kohler V-Twin, power steering, hydraulic brakes, etc. and is serviced locally by people I know. After comparing the different companies & models, I felt this was the best deal for what I need. During a test drive, I went thru the woods & up a steep hill & the 4x4 never kicked in. I pick it up on Monday & will give a report on it. They do offer a 400 series which is 2wd for less.

    Yea,...I would have figured 20 to 25hp if I was guessing.

    I watched a video on these Ken and it looks like a beefed up Golf Cart to me. I guess it would do fine around a house but as a trail Rig it might leave a little to be desired. I guess on trails that are not too steep or rough it would be OK.

    Get debt free before you retire.

    Pair down the toys too. Keep stuff you are going to use and sell or give away the stuff your not.

    I picked up the Landstar today & it is good. Runs well on dirt, gravel & through the woods. There is a 2wd with either a 14 hp Kohler or 16 hp B&S - 400 series that starts at $5350 ( after rebate.) Some Tractor Supply stores can order them or maybe there's a local dealer in your area.

    I absolutely love my Honda Rancher 420, so am partial to Honda for ATV's. I have my eye on the Honda 500cc side by side in the future so I could take the wife on trail rides. We rode one in NC on an offroad adventure deal and they seem to take a beating and do darn well on rutted and rocky mountain trails.

    I am not familiar with the OX400 other than viewing it online. Price point is definitely competitive but it does look like more of a light trail unit.
    I am highly against buying the chinese stuff they sell in the farm stores. Been around motorcycles/ATV's my whole life and seen many brands of them come and go. The cheap price upfront doesn't make up for when parts/support are no longer available and no resale value.

    I called Landmaster with a question on the Landstar 677 & only waited 5 minutes. I was pleased when an AMERICAN answered the phone & spoke ENGLISH without an accent. To top that off, she was personable, knew her products & answered the question with no problem. :D
    I did have one small problem tho, one of the plastic windshield brackets was broken. I brought it to the dealer who replaced it without question. He said that Landmaster has sent him extras at no charge. Obviously they know there's a problem & are handling it. So far, I'm pleased with it.
