How much snow has anyone been able to ride through with a trike like shown below? I have studs on mine which help in the summer doing trials over logs, but how much more would chains help me in the winter?

 

A lot depends upon what kind of snow we're discussing, fredbear.

Snowbound for six days in the blizzard of '96, I found my ATC110 totally immobilized by 4 feet of dry powder.

(I also found my 4WD F150 immobilized by the same snowfall; stuck heading DOWNHILL.)

Finally evacuated (with some difficulty) by a man driving a huge 4WD diesel tractor, the driver told me his own snowmobiles couldn't maneuver in that snowfall: when stopped, the snowmobiles would sink to ground level and become unable to rise to the surface.

Eskimos, I've read, have something like 11 different words for different types of snow; makes sense.

Chains will definitely give you added traction with the ATC110, but even they have their limits--you're still riding a 2WD ATV.

Nevertheless, ATC110's forever!

I know with my 01' king quad I can go anywhere until the packed snow gets me high centered, chains would hurt you I'd thing driving on some some, like in montana I ride on top of the snow on mountain roads, but when you stop, and start again you break the top layer, and sink in....then its winch time

 

I have an 82 Big Red. For winter I remove the front tire and replace with a pair of snowmobile skies. With 25"x13.5" Wooly Boogers on the back it will go through about 12-18" of snow average. It is awesome on snowmobile trails.

 

I live in NEPA . I have a MoJave 4x2 . I've had her 4 about 5 yrs . This winter is the 1st winter I got tire chains . They r a bit%h 2 put on .I can do about up to 6-8 " of fluffy stuff w/ um on [ it boring tho going so slo ] . I ride alone sometimes & I do not have a winch , I think its worth it . It very hard 2 turn tho , u turn the front tires & the back just wants 2 go straight . When ur just crusing its fine . No tricks tho . Just last weekend I tryed 2 do a "rainbow" , @ the top I could not trun enough , so me & my bike rolled down . She rolled 3 x's - I jumped . We both r fine . Like the other guy said tho , if u stop on unpacked sno , u sink BAD , u just dig urself deeper . So good luck ! ................. =;~)
