all of this happened after I was running treough water at high speed.....


I went to go winch a tree out of the ground but when I did the SP started sliding so my dad told me to put it in reverse and winch so i did and he next thig i know was the belt was smoked, started smelling bad too and the wheels werent turning so looks like my 200 Mile checkup is going to be sooner than expected.

By the Way does anyone know if belt damage is covered in warenty?

My dealer said the belt was not under waranty! You just might be out of luck. When you get a new one just go with Polaris brand.

I was trying to pull a small magnolia tree stump out in front of the house a couple of weeks ago with the Honda 300 4X4... The honda couldn't do it so I broke out the heavy artillery...
I hooked the Dodge to it, and out it came...

The proper tool for the proper job.
