Kawasaki brute force vs Honda Rincon

I done flipped the 3 wheeler too many times on these hills. Time to get a 4th wheel.
Which one of these is better? Keep in mind I'll primarily be beating the shite out of it. Lots of towing logs out of the Tennessee hills.

Neither are great bikes but of the 2 I'd pick the Brute. Rincon is underpowered. Brute forces aren't known for their reliability.

Ok, what do I need? I'm looking at 700+ cc

Grizzly 700 if you want a single cylinder. Polaris Sportsman 850 if you want a Vtwin.

Brutes have good power but not much reliability. DO NOT get a rincon. They are way way under powered and do not have a low gear. I would look at the Foreman lines if you want a Honda.
If your not stuck on Honda go ride a can am and you'll never go back.

If you hunt on WMAs, be sure what ever you get meets the requirements.

We use both for work here. Water tanks on each rack and 26" tires. Brutes are very fast but we have had trouble with them. Running hot, belts, oil leaks. Keep in mind they are pushed hard.
The Rincons are great to ride but not made for work. The Rubicon is Hondas work bike.

Thanks for the info
I looked at a few foremans and didn't see anything bigger than 500cc. Is that the max size? And what is the diff between a regular foreman and a rubicon?

Foreman/Rubicon are 500CC but have a very low gear ratio compared to the Rincon that gives them a lot more pulling power.
The new Rubicon comes with Independent Rear Suspension and is Automatic. The regular Foreman has a solid rear axle and is either footshift or electric shift.

The Yamaha grizzly 700 is a good compromise between power and reliability. You get some of the same reliability as a Honda but it's more powerful. It's not Kawasaki Brute or can-am power but it's powerful enough. It has power steering and rides comfortably.
These are my thoughts:
Honda Rincon: weak, reliable
Arctic Crap:v-twin power but junk
kawi brute: v-twin power but junk
Yami grizzly: decent power, single cylinder, reliable
Polaris sportsman: good power v-twin, power steering, reliability could be debated.
Can-am outlander: beastly power v-twin, good reliability but expensive and dealers could be sparse depending on where you live.
For a reliable work machine get a grizzly. If you want to lift it, put on some 32" tires and rip through a mud pit get the can-am.

Agreed. Yammy has the best belt system of all of the auto's. Its fully engaged all the time unlike Polaris and others. I had a Kodiak 450 that I ran the shite out of and never had belt issues.

Just bite bullet an buy a can am and nobody will ever say you bought a bad bike.
