Honda TRX420FM2
The Proven Farm Workhorse – With Power Steering
Tough, dependable and built for everyday farm work, the Honda TRX420FM2 is one of Honda's most popular farm ATVs for good reason.
It combines a reliable 420cc fuel-injected Honda engine with a traditional 5-speed manual transmission, 4WD, Electronic Power Steering and a durable solid rear axle.
There's no belt-driven transmission and no unnecessary complication – just a proven Honda drivetrain designed to work day after day.
Whether you're checking stock, towing around the farm, carrying fencing gear or navigating steep and challenging terrain, the TRX420FM2 is ready to get on with the job.
Reliable 420cc Honda Engine
At the heart of the TRX420FM2 is Honda's proven 420cc liquid-cooled OHV single-cylinder four-stroke engine.
Honda's Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) provides easy starting, responsive power delivery and excellent fuel economy across changing conditions.
The engine is mounted longitudinally in the chassis, creating a more direct path through the drivetrain to help efficiently transfer power to the ground.
Simple, economical and designed for everyday farm use.
5-Speed Manual Transmission
For farmers who prefer direct control, the TRX420FM2 features a traditional 5-speed manual transmission with reverse.
The geared transmission provides excellent control over power delivery and strong engine braking – particularly useful when working across steep country.
Unlike belt-driven ATV transmissions, Honda's geared drivetrain provides direct mechanical drive without a drive belt to maintain or replace.
Honda 4WD
When conditions become challenging, Honda's 4WD system helps put the power to the ground.
Combined with the torquey 420cc engine and direct shaft drive, the TRX420FM2 is well suited to steep hills, mud, paddocks and changing farm conditions.
Front and rear driveshafts also eliminate the need for an exposed drive chain, helping reduce everyday drivetrain maintenance.
Electronic Power Steering
The big upgrade over the TRX420FM1 is Electronic Power Steering (EPS).
Honda's EPS system uses ECU mapping to provide improved steering response while reducing steering effort at lower speeds.
That makes manoeuvring around yards, gateways and tight spaces easier, while also helping reduce kickback through the handlebars when travelling across rough terrain.
If you're spending hours on the ATV every day, it's a feature you'll quickly appreciate.
Tough Solid Rear Axle
The TRX420FM2 uses Honda's proven solid rear axle.
Designed for durability and low maintenance, the fully enclosed rear axle helps prevent mud, grass and debris from entering the running gear.
A swingarm with single rear shock provides 170mm of rear wheel travel, delivering a controlled ride while keeping the rear drivetrain strong and straightforward.
For everyday farm use, it's a simple and proven setup.
Independent Front Suspension
Up front, independent double-wishbone suspension provides 170mm of wheel travel.
Each front wheel can react independently to changing terrain, helping improve steering control and absorb bumps, ruts and rough farm tracks.
Full-length guards also help protect the lower suspension arms, driveshafts and CV joints.
385kg Towing Capacity
The TRX420FM2 isn't just built to carry you around the farm.
With a 385kg towing capacity, it's ready to help with a wide range of everyday jobs.
Whether you're towing equipment or moving supplies, the combination of the torquey 420cc engine, manual gearbox, 4WD and shaft drive gives you a practical workhorse for the farm.
Heavy-Duty Carry Racks
Heavy-duty front and rear carry racks provide a stable platform for transporting the gear you need.
Carry fencing equipment, tools, feed and other everyday farm essentials without having to make another trip.
The racks also accept compatible Honda Pro-Connect accessories, making it easy to customise the ATV around the work you do.
Honda Pro-Connect
Honda's Pro-Connect system provides a range of purpose-built accessories designed specifically for Honda ATVs.
A quick-connection latch system makes compatible accessories simple to attach and remove, allowing you to set the TRX420FM2 up for different jobs around the farm.
Weatherproof Utility Box
A handy 1.9-litre weatherproof utility box provides protected storage for smaller essentials.
Whether it's your phone, lunch or smaller tools, you've got somewhere convenient to keep them better protected from the elements.
Easy-to-Read Digital Display
The multi-function LCD display keeps important information clearly visible while you're riding.
Speed, fuel level, RPM, gear selection and other essential information can all be checked at a glance.
Simple, clear and easy to use.
Built for New Zealand Farms
The TRX420FM2 uses a strong double-cradle steel frame, designed to provide precise handling and a controlled ride without compromising the strength needed for farm work.
Combine that with a manual geared transmission, shaft drive, 4WD, solid rear axle and Electronic Power Steering and you've got a straightforward ATV built around durability and everyday usability.
