How much does it take to get a 2WD ATV stuck?

 

I love to take the 2X4 Rancher on rides with my friends on their 4X4, and clean every technical section that they are strugling through with their lockers, etc. OK, I do live in the arid southwest, so mud is non-existend and if you want to ride snow, you have to go looking for it at high altitude, but the 2X4 will go places you wouldn't believe.

 

You would be surprised! I've followed many 4x4s through mud holes and they couldn't believe it. Of course I'm talking about my Ozark and NOT the 400EX [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Best thing is when I do get stuck I can get it out most of the time by myself.............try that with a 600# 4x4..........[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I guess it depends on the quad, tires, and ground clearance. Your biggest friend with a 2 wheel drive is Mr. Momentum. I was able to drive the same places with my Recon that I drive with my Foreman. While riding alone, I would usually try to avoid the deeper mud holes. Sometimes a smaller and lighter two wheel drive is more agile. I could drive under, around and over obstacles with ease.

In the snow is where you really see a difference. You really have to keep your momentum up with a 2 wheel drive. It's harder to get started after stopping in snow. You have to make sure you pick the right line to take. It's much harder to start new tracks in fresh snow. If the snow is heavy and really wet, it will give you the most problems.

You don't have to think or work as hard while driving a 4x4 atv in the snow. The 4x4 will drive right through fresh deep snow. The heavy wet stuff will put some strain on the atv but it will keep moving.

I would suggest a 4x4 if you'll be driving in snow. You might be trying to save money by buying a 2x4. You will save more money by buying a 4x4 in the first place. Considering the amount of money you'll lose on the resale or trade in of the 2x4.

 

if its a bayou 220 it will go as far as u want it to go..no lie..dan seeryius

 

my quad will go through a lot of mud and snow.
