I have an 06 4x4 360, Very reliable never been to the dealer for anything. I am anal about maint. though, Top speed is in the mid 40's stock. Very good fuel economy. The oil light is also an over-temp light as well, and it has an electric fan and a huge oil cooler. Liquid cooling is over-rated. The check belt light also gives you service intervals. They are right about the vibration, I really haven't noticed it being low on power, but if that is your concern, get the BF650 w/solid axle.
@CrimsonBloodStar It really depends on several things. For deep water you need to make sure the transmission cover seal is tight and the drain plug as well. You may want to use a little silicone just to be sure.
@CrimsonBloodStar EPS is new so it's hard to say how it will hold up, but I imagine it will be just fine - kinda like EFI, invisible! Locking in the front differential makes an ATV much harder to steer - obviously when you have the two front tires turning at the same speed but trying to also turn the machine that's what happens. Most power steering systems lessen this but don't take it away completely....
@ATVTVCOM Because a local dealership has a good deal on these two bikes. If I could afford a new quad right now I probably would have a new kingquad or foreman. I would mainly use the bike to roll through flat muddy fields to get to a deer stand. So with that in mind, which one of the two would you recommend?
FordFalcon1962nBlue they really are great machines. I got a 2010 with over 17,000kms its seen lots of abuse and still going yet have put lots of parts in it and money. but it is very reliable never let me down
man i had a 05 kawasaki prairie 360 a year ago and every 3 mouths we had to put a new belt in it. that cost 350 each time had to get a new belt so we sold it..im every buying a auto trans on a 4wheeler again..
I have driven my uncle's prarie. It is a very good atv. You would buy this one if you don't want a big 600. I have hit about 55 mph.From what i know, it has not broken down . I would say it is very reliable. I don't know how it is on hills. I have been on a couple of rides in some fields near my uncles fouse that had mud and jumps. I live in lafayette, louisiana and my uncle lives in chataignier,louisiana which is like in the middle of the country. let me know if you want to know more.
Nice video, I'm probably going to get a Kawasaki Prarie 360 4x4 when I get the money, I cant wait!! Does anybody have a Kawasaki Prarie 360 4x4, how is it? Is it reliable? Does it climb big hills and hairy terrian? Any comments are appreciated. Thanks.
@dreambrew Pretty close. The Big Bear is a bit smoother but the Prairie has a locker.

@jazza12b It is the same thing. The Prairie was released in the USA and was released in Canada as the KVF

@Derek130b Years ago. We should be putting up those older tests next month.
@CrimsonBloodStar Most belt-drive ATVs need to be modified with sealed covers and snorkel kits to work in deep water.
@CrimsonBloodStar I think the Suzukis, Yamahas, and Kawasakis have the best belt drive.

@CrimsonBloodStar No EPS yet. They're a bit behind in that department.
@zippypinhead11 If that's the only two choices, I like the Prairie.
@dreambrew Why choose between just those two. Why not include a Suzuki Eiger, or better yet, a new King Quad 400?

@jbquesenberry It has it's faults, but is reliable.....
great review
@ThePrezObozo You just said your old 300 kept up with the 360. That is the answer.
@LITTLEREBEL55 JUST DONT DO IT WHILE THE TIRES ARE "SPINNING"!! this will break the shifter gear in the fron diff... and possibly more.
was their'e alot of changes between 07 and 2010 cuze ive heard good things about the 2010
nice im getting a 2007 360 same color as you showed on sunday- great machines
FordFalcon1962nBlue they really are great machines. I got a 2010 with over 17,000kms its seen lots of abuse and still going yet have put lots of parts in it and money. but it is very reliable never let me down
yeah they are great machines
did you get one
yeah its in storage right now its a white 2007 Kawasaki 360
nice same as in the video
I want one so bad a kid i met at a mud bog had one and ive been in love with the prairie since to bad my parents cant afford one
What is better? 2006 Prairie 360 or a 2006 big bear 400?
@jazza12b I don't have a clue what you are asking! Anybody?
@CrimsonBloodStar Just remember, the speedometers on ATVs are very inaccurate!

any one know whats the dif between the kvf and prairie cuzz I have a kvf and it looks almost the same
@LITTLEREBEL55 Yes.
Just wish they were liquid cooled, then I would've gotten one for sure. Instead, I got it's big brother monster, the Brute Force 650i 4x4. =)
Neither go with an Arctic Cat 366 Hemi blows them both away !
@LITTLEREBEL55 yeap.
which is better the kawasaki bayou 300 4x4 er this un.... they both look unstoppable!!!
@jbquesenberry Yes.
@zippypinhead11 That is my favorite, by far...
@dragata1 I guess your only hope is to get a job - mow lawns, wash cars, clean up yards, or do what-ever you can to earn the money for one yourself.

I love mine
I liked your video very much.
@LITTLEREBEL55 Eiger.
@elaposto yeah you do maybe not a c
nice
@LITTLEREBEL55 This machine still goes plenty fast for a 360...
i must be getting a better one, the one im getting has as speedometer and has a shifter for gears and is more powered than this one-
Great vid but i think ill keep my bayou 250.
I didn't like the new Prairie's too much. They look almost "too" simple
