how does the 300ex do in the mud? would it be able to pull things up a muddy or snowy hill with the proper tires?

pulling..uhh..its a sport, if you wanted to make a hitch, you could carts and stuff.

mud, it will do good as any other 2 wd sport quad.

maybe I should have specified this earlier but I want a sport quad and I hunt only 1 wk out of the year, so that doesn't justify getting a utility. would it be able to drag a deer if I tied it to the grab bar or somethin.

I would'nt try to pull a deer out of the woods with a 300ex.Thats just not where the EX shines at.The EX is just to damn light/small for pulling deer out,

I know it isn't going to be very good at pulling a deer, but I was debating between getting the 300ex or a sport utility, and I figure I'll only be doing it 1 time per year which doesn't justify buying a utility, and I would rather have the 300ex

my friend, last year, pulled 9 or 10 people on sleds in the winter. He was on his trx250x, which is practically the same as a 300ex. he had no trouble doing it. I plan to do the same on my 300ex this winter, so i think it could pull a deer around.

'98 300ex---- FMF pipe, K&N filter, jetted carb, and skids
