Hi guys,
Read some past posts about the "3 wheel spin" after I had the same problem while being stuck in the mud today.

I just want to make sure I understand it. When I have the "3 wheel spin" just keep letting it spin for a "few" seconds and wait for the front end to "lock up"? How fast should I be spinning/ reved out or just very slowly?

Thanks for you help in advance.

If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for your new machine. The local dealers around here are all over the map with pricing.

Including the winch $8000.00 Canadian. All the others around here were anywhere from a couple to several higher. (my son has bought two snowmachines form them in the past)

Aren't the Canadian prices for ATV's out of this world???

I looked at a 2000 Kodiak 4x4 today and the guy wanted $7300 for it...but that's our dollar to blame.

It usually takes proabbly 2-5 seconds to kick in. it really doesnt matter how fast you are spining. A trick that seemed to work for me is take Gm differental fluid and put in your front differental. it seems to make the clutches, in the differental, grab a little faster. also tap your brakes a littl bit. And the price you paid was a good deal, heck thats like us back here in the states paying $5400.

Never heard of the gm diff stuff on a cat since it has no clutches, but actualy a ratcheting conetype of differential. But the brake thing is something reagulary use.

I'm not even touching the 3 wheel debate this time. A lost cause.
