Honds Rincon ATV

Recommended Posts

I can get a nice 2004 650 Ricon and wanted to mount a plow but a buddy said they aren't good to plow. So I called a dealer and he confirmed that they were not designed to plow. I looked back on this forum last winter and saw that a couple people had bought Rincon's that they mounted plows on, my question is how did they work and would you do it again. I understand that there's no low range but you have the ES and could plow in first gear. Comments please

Used a Rincon to plow at the dealership I worked at. Didn't push as much snow as the Bombardier Quest, but was fun to use. It was easy to turn around in tight places since you can take it out of 4x4. This one had a moose 60" county blade and a manual lift.

Got 50" plow on my 05 Rincon...does my driveway just fine...you just have to be a little more patient when switching from reverse to forward and visa versa...because of the direct drive I have heard of people having tranny issues if they dont take the time to come to a complete stop before shifting from reverese to forward. Never the less, not having low has not prevented me from plowing or doing anything else the non honda's can do. smile.gif

I just got the 06 rincon and the plow setup, i plan on using it for banking the ice house on mille lacs, i am confident with what it already went through that it will not have any problems at all.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
