  • what has more power

    what has more power a hustler 950 6x6 with 18hp briggs and t-20 trans or a 2005 articat 400 4x4 with low gear trans place a vote

    Finding a power rating on the 'Cat 400 is a bit tough on-line. A lot of manufacturers purposefully don't list a power rating on their machines for insurance reasons, and instead just list engine displacement. I think I've found a value of 23.9 horsepower for that engine in that machine, but it's a bit sketchy.

    What question are you really asking, though? The 'Cat with a low range and 24 horsepower is likely putting out more torque at the rear axle than the 18 Briggs and the T-20, but whether that power gets transferred to the ground is another issue. I have a 52hp (rated) Rotax in one of my Attex racers, but my 18hp flat briggs in my Hustler would tow that machine up a hill backwards in a pull-off. If anybody were to ask me which machine has more "power", the Attex does, hands down.

    I'm not trying to shirk your question, just trying to get some clarity.....

      Maybe i dont understand the question, but a quad will be destroyed in a tug of way with a six wheeler. If you are trying to choose between the 2 machines, i don't think anyone here will be for the quad. Ypu are in a bit of a biased crowd.
      l like to buy stuff and no I don't do payments!

              I was surprised when I first got my 950 and loaded the family (about 600 lbs) and toiled around in the vacant lot next door. It would flat out haul! Surprised my wife a bit too. I think you will be pleasantly surprised as well.

                  Ha Ha, very funny......It floats with the seat and handlebars nicely on the top side, up out of the water.
