no problems on steep hills for me, I use my 450i to haul firewood, sometimes up to 1000 lbs of firewood bolts in my sled, sometimes dragging a log tree length with a choker chain(last week I yanked a maple out 12"dbh x 35' long), I just throw it in 4wheel lock and use low gear

randyo I've seen the pic of your hoe hooked up pretty impressive,

things are delayed until next Friday I will travel to the dealership and finally get to see one in person. until then I'll keep trying to learn more about them, glad I found this forum because there is not a lot of info out there.  the dealership I'm going to has been selling Kymco for a long time here so that made me feel better.

I know the regional rep for NC SC TN VA WV he lives not far from here in NC and he has said big things are coming for 2018. As well as some improvements and updates to the UXV line with a special model 450. I swore I wouldn't speak of anything he told me so I'm going to leave it at that sorry but good things are coming!....

Dealer has a 2016 in blue for 500 less????

Hi. 

   I just went through this same decision.  After speaking with the dealer, I went with the base.  I got a super winch online for $99 and really didn't care about wheels or paint to scratch up.  The roof your going to pay for regardless.  If you look on Kymco's website, under the picture it actually says its not standard so the dealer adds on the price.  Conceiving since its pictured, I know.   It's geared really well and won't power out.  It'll spin.

thanks that is how I was seeing it, in some other brands you get little things like extra power outlets and such but not with Kymco which is fine with me I just want to know what options are included

I've emailed my dealer for stock inventory and he has both. dealer is just so far away I want to have my questions ready, I don't mind adding things on myself.

It tractors up hills no problem,  especially when you put it in low gear.

If you read carefully you get a winch, roof, wheels, and custom paint on the LE model so if you want and need those things then it becomes a good deal. The 450i has fuel injection so elevation will be less of an issue but all engines loose some power at higher elevation, as far as the other questions sounds like your trying to burn up a drive belt!!


Roof is not included
I ask the other question as a way to get info on how low geared this is, when rock crawling if it just slips the belt and not the tires it won't be low geared enough for me,,,

Hello
doing my research here and I don't understand the difference in the LE and Base model other than winch is that it?

I've read a few post on power here I want to try and ask it a different way, when stop on a hill or up against an obstacle will you spin the tires and lose traction or will it power out and not move like the Honda pioneer dose? I am concerned because of the high elevation I ride at. everything else seams to fit my needs perfectly
