I am lookin at getting a 300ex and was wondering if it will hook up in the snow.

Thanks

It isn't really the quad that hooks up, it's the tires. I don't recall what Honda puts on the 300ex, but usually stock tires are designed to fit the price that the quad manufacturer wants to pay, not necessarily what is best. For example, Yamaha uses a Dunlop slip n' slide which is pretty useless for any serious riding, so I would say the 300EX would be as good as any quad and better than some in snow.

in my opinion, realtors are the best snow tires you can get for a 2wd sport machine

Use tire chains if your planning on going in the deep snow.

its all the tire.

Get some Realtors, Sur-traks, something with nice tread and you will be ok

True about the tires. All stock factory tires should be changed to get the best performance out of your bike. Also the 4 strokes will do better in the snow. I have both and the 2 strokes just spin and make holes. The 250x i have travels right on through.
