My Fire Department just got a Ranger 800. This is our first UTV type vehicle.
We started to use it, and stopped, as we saw it displaying 5000 RPM's at 20 MPH in High Gear (we mostly have hard flat surfaces). We have a 95 gallon water tank and pump in the rear, but no water in it (yet).
We pushed the speed a little more and when we hit about 5500 RPM's we stopped, and after we were going to damage the unit.
Just looking for some advice of what the "normal" rpm's are for speeds, not under much load (the pump and unit do have some weight to them). Is 5000 RPM's at 20 MPH normal? Does it ever "shift" down, like a car.
Thanks for any help!
