i was in the same boat you were in about a year and i went with the brute. but you should be able to turn the 28s good with all of that, a clutch kit would also help alot too. i had all of that stuff on my rubicon and it turned my 27" executioners really good. i also put them on my brute 650I and i could also turn them realy good( well a good bit better). it just depends if you want to stay with honda or switch to something bigger and better. BTW i love my brute, no belt problems with 500 miles on in IMO best 4wheeler i have had yet. if you have any questions about kawasakis i can try to help you out, i dont know if you knew this or not but kawasaki makes three different brute forces and they are all different. just wanted to let you know incase you had any questions about anything.

the problem has been fixed on the 06 and up on the 650I and 07 and up on the 750. i am not sure about the 650sra, i am thinking that it is fixed but i am not sure on that one. like Bigvick said, if you have a brute that is out of the years that they fixed the problem, just grease it and you should be fine.
