Default Scrambler 4X4 snowbound!!!

Ive prevously riden my scrambler in the snow but it didnt seem to meet my expectaions. I know that they weigh alot but it didnt perform as I thought it would I have a set of Dirt Devil tires on it. Any seggestions. Oh the snow here in New York is about 15 inches and about half powder half slushy.

What do you mean? like engine problems? or you were getting stuck. If your getting stuck. wake up man its 15 inches. I got stuck a lot of times. Im sure if you had chains or even lighter tires,youd spin them better and get out.

I dont know why only 1 of your front tires spin. Polaris does have AWD? I was thinking maby your model had a limited slip? but nah.

Its 15 inches of snow. I had to plow my dads whole station into 1 pile on the sidewalk right infront of 1 of his buldings. When i had to plow that sidewalk. I got stuck in about 3 feet and had to get my brother in a truck with a plow to push me out.

ive never had a problem with all 4 tires spinning, i have 23in holeshots in the front and 22's in the back, personally i get stuck alot but thats cuz i enjoy bustin drifts and yeah your eventually gonna get stuck, but insted of heading for 15 inches of snow i would try 5-10, 10 being the most, cuz once the thing bottoms out all u can do is dig so dont go where the snowmobiles go[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I heard a skid plate will let you slide over the snow easier. Dont know how true but maybe get a cheap skid plate.

hmm that kinda sounds like a good idea, cept in the summer when u go muddin with those things everything gets jammed up in there and its a pain to clean. But i'd try it in the snow if we would average more then 5 inches a year
