Default raptor in mud

How good is a raptor in mud. I'm debating on either a raptor or a warrior, and I would like someones opinion on which I should get.

As long as you don't have to go in reverse with the raptor, they do pretty good in the mud. They like to throw a lot of mud in the air. Never had any problems with mine in the mud.

I took my 03' Raptor diggin in the mud 2 weeks after I got it and I bet mud was shooting 30 feet in the air. It never got stuck once, get the raptor you wont regret it. The only bad thing about the raptor is the front and rear fenders, not wide enough to stop any mud so consider getting really muddy!! HA HA HA HA I luv MUD...

The reason i'm asking is because I heard that raptors gears are too high to mud in, also mostly were i live is low land and usually holds water.

The reason I said not to go in reverse is because that gear is way to fast and it will just dig in.

Any easy way to fix the Raptor's tall gears is a 12 tooth front sprocket(13 stock). It really helped mine. And for mud, I have learned riding in it isnt enough fun to make up for afterwards. If you do ride in the mud, clean it GOOD afterwards. I didnt once and I had so much sand caked on the inside of my sprocket it wore away the seal and all the oil leaked out. Another half n hour and that motor would have been gone.

I'm not disagreeing with the raptor but my warrior has no trouble in the mud, reverse or not.
