This is the 3rd season for my reular haulers. I am at the sand at least once a month sometime twice. No problems so far.

 

Dave, Doug and I are both running 9 paddle extremes, mine are 22's his are 20's. When he runs my 22's he picks up lengths. He is geared 17/40 as well.

 

Straight paddles for sure.

But on how many, it depends on were you ride. If you ride big hills, and dont have atleast 75hp, you do not want more than an 8 paddle. If you ride more flats and such, the more paddle you have the more traction you will have also. Most on hear like the twenty twos. They are a faster setup, but for duning I like the twentys. Extreme Haulers for sure.

We had a stock machine with a 6 paddle haulers running with a stage one over paddled. This was on our big hills. So dont over do it on paddles.
