    Just buy it Happy.

    Get it dirty before you bring it home put it in the shed and say nothing.

    Then when Mum notices it and grabs you by the ear hole just trot out the old tried and tested line.

    "What this old thing! I've had it for ages and you only just noticed".

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Once you've had power steer on the quad you'd never want to go back to one without it. I thought it was just a gimmick until I got my Grizzly 550 last year. Definately notice the extra steering effort when I use our spare TRX400. I also notice how rough riding the honda is and how much less manuvarable it is.

    The TRX 420 4x4 (2009) Power steering has done a great deal of work out hunting , the power steering (servo) will shut down if it gets to hot" thermal protection "and the steering is just like standard steering. As for the value well they are to heavy to carry and it is a long way to push so well worth what you pay if you require a reliable quad. Most of the large stations where I go swear by the old Honda. If you use hydraulic clamps instead of drilling holes in the carry frames you will find that they don't crack . I think they are called stauff clamps , get the size that is a tad smaller than the tube O/D they are easy to open out with the correct size drill.

    Cheers Rob
