Yes, I've been stuck, although I made it in farther than the others I was riding with. I'm not sure what you mean by "maxed out". For deep, gumbo type mud, you definitely want to have in low range or else it bogs down a little. Overall, I'm still very impressed with my Rubi, and would recommend it to anyone.

Could any ruby owner tell me If you think that It has enough power to turn 28x12x12vampires in the deep,dark mud.I now own A 450es with 27x12x12vamps, It works just excellent in the mud.I have A 500ruby ordered but my dealer tells me that they won't arrive here untill December.

I see no problem with the Ruby handling those tires, provided that it's in low range for the mud. It likes to spin all fours when punching the throttle in low range, it's got major torque.

They don't make 28x12x12 Vampires, they make 28x10x12 vampires that are realy about 8" wide.
There is also the new outlaws in the 28x12.5x12 size that are actually 13" wide.

I am a subscriber to dirtwheels, and that is where I saw the 28x12x12vamps listed in there. It could have been A missprint,It wouldn't be their first. Thanks for the Info. Before I order them I will make sure of the sizes.

The Vamps are heavier than the Outlaws, also. You can get the Outlaw in a taller tire (28-1/8") and it weighs less than the 27-3/4" Vamp.
Interco is also about to release a new Vamp with the tread going extending over the outside edge of the tire on on side only, as opposed to both sides on the Outlaw. They are aiming it at the four and six-wheeled buggies like the Argos, etc. So, if you are an Interco fan, you may check on it first.

All quads get stuck.. If you dont get stuck then your not trying hard enough. The rubi has plenty of power.
